I'm Back

Training has been going very well for me over the last few weeks. My over use injuries have healed and I have been easing my way back into serious parkour training. For a month or so I was definately unable to train, which left me with many mixed feelings about alot of things. However now that I am back in action I am so much more appreciating of my abilities, the people I've trained with, and everything.

This local traceur and I have actually taken some crude video footage of some techniques. That is exciting and entirely beneficial because it allows you to actually see what you are doing. Definately a huge help.

So things are great. My flow has improved, along with my creativity. I am more capable than ever before in the movements of parkour. It still amazes me how parkour transends into all other aspects of my life.

Being back home in CT brings me before all those people I left behind. Just about everyone of them sorta got left in my dust...in that they still do nothing but party and sit around or whatever. Then there I am doing planche/handstands while they watch some television. I don't tell them to do it, but there is a slight interest that is growing in them to ACT rather than merely REACT in life.

I really want to thank those PK-Cali folks I trained with, it had such a profound impact on my life. David up here in New Britian keeps me on my feet learning new things. Zeno, if you read this know that those conditioning videos you share are probably the most helpful advice I apply in this journey.

Stay tuned for the encounter with David Belle coming up in the beginning of October.
