As I Said in a earlier post I've been having dedication problems, They're practically fixed, Also in the most unlikely of ways
I was at cuffley camp yesterday, (A local council adventure playground thingy.)
I Was there on a 6th form trip, the day was based on team building in which was fun.
We all did very well, but at the end of the day we went on the assault course Probably the funnist part of the day, Going on the assault course a part of the day was asssessing the other people in which were in your team, as I did it seemed to me that everyone but me and alasdair struggled with it, I was thinking later that night why was it so much easier for me and alasdair to do then some of the others. then the answer came to me. it was thanks to Parkour and my training, I knew that if I had never started parkour then I'd stand no chance despite my rock climbing background But It has made me a more detemaned traceur then ever. And I Hope to be doing Parkour for many ages to come :)

Gathering my bearings 2
Gathering my bareings
Well its been really hard the last few months, as I've had quite a few problems, such as.
1.Cold/Wet conditions
2.Dedication problems
3.Losing confidence
Right first number one... I've been slacking so much dispite being told to train in these conditions because it'll help my skill and progression, I've been really trying.. But it majorly links to number two because I find it quite hard if its just me training no one to talk to etc. But Bloo from herts parkour said
"I find the best way is to just think about what you want to achieve in parkour, then know in yourself that the only way to get there is to train hard. "
I Will put this to the test as the winter weather is really testing my dedication and limits.. though I WILL Try I Really must think about how I can get the didication as I'm quite rapidly losing confidence in movement so I'm gonna try and train every time I'm avalible.. So yeah Just my thoughts.

Finally got it
I've done my backflip after a long time of trying :D Also I've been trying to do Some conditoning after me training light but still, Every little helps.. I also do 5 inverted sit-ups every time I go indoors.. I'm looking forward to wednesday because the weathers predicted to be nice also my aunts in portsmoth so I can stay out later :) I've been breaking mental barrers like mad lately as it seems my training with Pete has unleashed my inner confidence in my skill in parkour I will upload a video of my sucsessfull backflip later, its so easy I might take it to flat on wednesday.. I'm really getting a sence of progression in the sence that I'm feeling better in myself, Though I think I need to start more of 4 things
1.More wet Training.
2.Better diet.
3.Barefoot training.
4.Night training
I think they will all help not only physically but hold a major contribution to my mental Control aswell....
Blog soon ;)
Mental barrers...
Hey... I Done quite alot of training today it was primaraly based on breaking the one thing I'm rubbish at... Mental barriers I've been breaking them quite well after a chat with pete I was thinking that its only your mind telling you, you cant do somthing when You know you can you have to prove it to yourself... I done somthing I've been wanting to for Months today.. A BACKFLIP I bailed but I learnt from it..... Vid here Blog soon
Wet/Cold training
Heya,
I Was going to go to chesham today, But it got cancelled because of the weather Primaraly, So I Thought as I missed last years winter as I wasn't really a traceur back then, That I'd to some wet training seeing I've been working on it lately.. I Stacked it twice, And I'm mainly having to work on my landings since wet training is hard.. I'd never think it'd be this bad :P anyway, So yeah I was training around my area and I done a few precisions And on one of them I slipped forward on missed my head on the edge of the wall by inches, Anyway Onto other things I was training with a mate yesterday (Pete) And He finally got me to do a flatland flip in which I've landed And he learned a backflip, He done a 180 armjump which was also Quite big he thinks I can make it i'm not sure I might try it but also I Made quite a big precision that I've been wanting to do for ages I just kept getting feaked out. But I made it and am happy with that, Pete, I'm suprised with, because normally a traceurs most biggest annoyance is breaking mental barriers but Pete does it like nothing, I'm gonna start working on this quite a bit soon. Because when I know I can do things I get freaked out and think I'm not gonna make it... But If I can break mental barriers well (Which is hard for me) I will progress quite a bit not only in confidence but skill too.
Blog soon
Peace ;)
Parkour and I
I got the inspiration to write this sort from Tim.
Parkour, what is it to me?
I've been training 9 months practicaly.. And i'm a person who gets bored of stuff alot.. But its different with Parkour I used to be scrauny, weak etc. Doing nothing but playing games and sitting at the computer 24/7 I've always been into extreme sports I used to skateboard and rockclimbing.. Then I went to gaming.. When I first discovered Parkour, I watched many youtube videos considering the fact that I was interested So we went and had our first session before we discovered Herts Parkour Now looking back, I was sacred to jump from 4 steps high but back then I thought Parkour was about jumping off things, I know now its not, my aunt and many of my family were not very happy with what I was doing. And thought I'd never stick to it.. Boy did I prove em wrong. To be quite frank, to me Parkour... Some would call it a hobby, some a obsession, to me its not only a passion its a way of life.... I started it as I stated as weak now I've gotten stronger quicker, and more athletic. The majority of this is thanks to Herts Parkour. I watched some things in my first SA session that I thought I'd never be able to do. (Kong's, muscle up's) but thanks to the discipline Parkour is I can now do both of them, its not only done that but in myself in general, If I was still my old self in front of games, etc then I'd be so down because when I practice movement.. Its like nothing I've ever felt there is no way to discribe it.. It just makes me feel alive like nothing I've ever done/felt.. Anyway blog soon
Peace
Kongs And me
I've Been training about 9 months now, And only this week I Made my first proper kong, it was quite a achivement because it was a huge mental barrier that has probably been the hardest that I have ever broken, After almost a hour of standing round thinking about it I went for a kong And failed epicly, The 2nd time I tried I made it which goes to show to myself that I Can overcome things should I be willing to try and break the barrier... Will upload somthing soon In other news I've been trying to cut down on the number of precisions I've been doing and working on other movements... Such as kongs and wall scales primaraly also I've slowly been getting adapted to my new shoes which I'm still really not used too but getting there slowly I've been thinking about slowly starting bare feet, To not only toughen my feet up but also Strenthen my feet and also help to ajust to new techneqes... Will do some uploads and more blogging soon..
Peace
Me Blog
I Guess This is my Blog so i'm gonne try and update it as much as I can on my progression etc...
Peace
