About Me....

Hello!!!

This page will notify anyone who wants to know about my journey in parkour.

I see parkour as a way of escaping and strengthening the mind, i train parkour because I see it as the best way to excercise. I'm not out to be the best in the discipline - although it would be nice to be looked upon as one of the best. But no, i seek constant improvement in my mind and body and feel that practising this sport will improve me as a person.

I have been training now for a year and have faced what most traceurs will face when practising: abuse from general unawareness of what I'm doing, doubt in myself, questioning why I put so much time into parkour and the inevitable bails. I'm glad to say that i feel past all these minor issues, especially the one about the abuse. People have now accepted that it's what I do and only question it when interested instead of for poking fun. Even my parents now understand the reason why I devote so much time into parkour, remaining fairly neutral about my indulgence in the discipline.

I feel that I have not progressed as quickly as I would have hoped, but I was in a particularly bad physical and mental condition when i started.

The thing I love most about parkour is that you can feel a difference in yourself every day. I've learned to be aware of my thoughts and actions more through parkour and it has also exposed me to the big ideas of life and death; i mean, I'm seriously considering christianity at the moment.

But above all, the social side of parkour is by far the best I think. With such an interest in parkour, I find it hard to dislike anyone with the same passion for the sport as i do. Age doesn't seem to matter and anyone is a friend that practises parkour.


Well now I've got all the boring stuff out of the way, I'll start on my progression in parkour and freerunning. I'm aiming to write in here every week, but probably won't. :D
