Muscle building and fluent Parkour

So I'm out with a friend today and I decide to teach him a few things when it comes to Parkour however I deicded I was gonna teach myself at the same time :S.

Learn through teaching theory if you will.

So we start of at a basic area now I have been curious to why certain movements have recently becomed laboured at first I thought it was lack of practice with the specific movement. However I realised that the socialising I have been doing over the last week or so has hindered my performance which made me think.

So I decided to ditch the social parkour thing and stick to the independant training work which I enjoy. So anyway I'm with my friend and we start working on small Parkour moves, I start applying balance work which is mostly all on my legs and feet.

So shortly afterwards we try making it a little bit more difficult and I would say it wasn't even 20 minutes and my legs were aching abit. But the cool thing I noticed was that through doing small little moves continuoesly and making more obstacles challenging that the overall jump was easy and required less effort compared to the labouris jumps early that day.

So yer it was effective, and in some ways progressive.

System

Over the week I have been alot of arm work, I have been doing dive hanstands onto walls and I feel myself push bigger gaps. I also found myself managing movements better than I did 2 months earlier. Like without even having to practice that specific movement I still found myself able to do it through the practice and understanding of all the other parkour stuff i was doing during that time :).

I also destroyed my legs Friday night through continuoes leg conditioning which was good :P. I keep on taking it up a notch with the leg work outs. I had gymnastics today alot happened but it was good I shal start filming some more stuff towards the end of this year.

Week update

Well this week has been a good one college has been very practicle. Parkour has been awsome training hard and trying new things. Then working on bigger double kongs in the gym.

Working on mostly precision work I have also been working out alot upperbody and abs. With seperate nights dedicated to my legs :).

As for my gymnastics that is going good as well working on standing side flips of stuff, my back tucks are getting much higher and I also tried doing an inward wall side last night which went ok I guess :P.

Anyway It's been real fun gonna push it a little more :).

Parkour session and a walk

Today was the first Parkour session I had on my own in about 3 weeks. The last month or so have been so intense with other people being out I must admit the company was good so much was being done.

But it was nice to be alone for once really get into sync with my own state of mind. When I am alone Parkour is a more deeper sense of well being for me. I warm up, I stretch and then I begin my session, I change my shoes from skater shoes to my almighty Kalenji success :).

I take of my Ipod and set it on the wall with my Bag. After that I begin with a few precisions which recently have become very nice and quiet a technique I call "Hitting centre point."

This technique is when I put my power into my height which I acheive maximum at my centre jump, instead of depending on the power to land on the 2nd obstacle I reach my feet and legs out, for a more precise landing. I have started going through alot more leg conditioning to acheive bigger precisions whilst using the centre point technique.

Anyway I also move around the area in a fluid manner I get my heart working I get a sweat going. Shortly afterwards I try a more technical manner which involves harder movments which in a way is a good workout. So I started working on my kong to handstand to front roll, wall dash. After that I moved on to a very difficult 180 cat (difficult for me) which I have taken a picture off (Top).

After that I went for a walk look at the sea and thought deep about some stuff about the past which in fairness I came to terms with :).

London

Today was my first Parkour trip to London. I must say I pulled of more than I expected, however by saying that I did see obstacles that much more advanced people have pulled of. I thought to myself "Wow thats big and that is a big drop, if I ever fell I'm done for." What followed after that was "Either way its still possible with hard training and dedication."

So although appearing difficult I think I have it in me to get there. I also returned to Weymouth even though I was tired pulled of a huge 180 cat.

Practice makes perfect right ??
