Focus

I was training last night and also went gymnastics there was this candian guy there and we had a conversation on progression. Then I was thinking about mental barriers that prevent me from actually achieveing what I want. So after thinking you know just do it I kinda thought ha :P I have been making things a tad more complicated than what they were.

Also today I was training after college but went to a presentation at the college later that night were this guy who is awsome at rock climbing. Hes been on top gear and such stuff. From the look of his vids he is an amazing athlete his stories I felt I could relate to.

After the presentation everybody left but I went up to him and said.
"Your life story is inspiring." I told him about my parkour and he was like thats awsome man.
We spoke for about 20 minutes straight it got to the point where I said I often feel like I'm living a double life one being my college life the other being the person I become when I do parkour or gymnastics.

He said to me by living our everyday lives we become more more keen to wanna be the other person in our life. Like if I done parkour 24/7 being that person I would then just grow apart from it.

Another subject we hit on was how I often felt uneasy when a crowd of people walked past who would mock me, put me down or doubt me in a way.

He said something to me which I'll try not to forget. He said.
"When you have your thoughts focused on something else like what people say you are not concentrating. Having your mind wander off being self concious can be very bad.
By fully concentrating on what your doing nothing else matters, none of it means anything because as of that moment it is completely irrelevant to what other people think.

I must say I will remeber that one :)

I'll update next week training is going good.

Parkour update and Austrailia

The weather hasnt been brilliant but I have been training good mostly working out. Indoors I got low to high level double kong and ot ma tricks good to.

I'm not liking the winter though its getting me down so I decided to go austrailia when I'm 19 which is in 18 months time I have £1800 saved up and hope to have about £8000-£10,000 saved up by then.

Something about it makes me wanna move their. Plus I got family there I havnt met so see how it goes. Will be even better if I'm in urbanfreeflow when I join :).

Was it worth it ?

Ok just a quick update before I get into what I wanna say.

I was in Bournemouth on halloween and it was awsome !
It was intense it was progressive and it was fun, so much happened I cannot explain but it was real fun.
That night I stayed at Matts for halloween in Bournemouth it was fun, the next day we went gym and I learnt some important things.

First of doing walk in side flips I figured that by throwing my hips and ass up I get much more height and better control :).
Also I got my back tucks all good even though Im worried I may fall back on the old technique I hope not. But I got a feel for the right way.


What I wanted to say for today was that I was extremely tired everything hurt I was in Drchester and I just couldnt seem to move properly at all. So it gets to a point I do a handstand on a wall and then go into a 1 hand and I hold it well but I lose balance and my shin scrapes of the wall. The cut isnt deep but it is such a long cut it goes all the way down my shin.

The question is was it worth it?

Yeah it was :)

However if I'm tired in furture I'll call it a day ;).
