neato!

If you don't try- you've already failed..

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

The open Kettlebell class experimented with a few parkour moves Wednesday afternoon! They learned how to move over an obstacle by jumping over it or raising themselves on to the structure and moving forward.

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Action movies are known for their scenes with the big foot chases.

While movie magic may make the action stand out, it turns out that type of running can actually be done by almost anyone. It's called " Parkour ," and here in Austin, it's part of a new workout class.

"Parkour is the art of getting from point A to point B, wherever that may be, using only human potential to prepare yourself through any given landscape," said Randal Setzler, a Parkour instructor.

Setzler teaches Parkour here in Austin.

"It's almost like chess and how you think three or four moves ahead, you know," said Setzler. "By the time you're at your first vault, you're already seeing what your next three or four steps are going to be."

The idea is to continually move through a landscape by jumping, vaulting and rolling to get to your destination. Not even a 10-foot wall can get in the way.

"You see a 10-foot wall climb and you think, 'There is no way I can do it,'" said Aaron Arehart, a Parkour participant. "And then he'll show you how to do it."

On YouTube , there are all sorts of examples of extreme Parkour , from flips to jumping across buildings. That's what got Parker Sheridan, 11, interested in it.

"I saw it on the Internet, and I thought it looked really cool," said Parker.

While he's not doing anything extreme, his parents are OK with the sport, since it is a good workout. After you learn the technique, you should be able to escape from just about anything.

"We find some way to overcome any obstacle that we experience," said Setzler

Classy parkour...

This past weekend I did a little photoshoot with Robert Miller. Robert attends the Kettlebell Unlimited class at 12:15. We often motiviate and push each other in class but on ths adventure he got to work his magik behind the camera and I got to get my jump on...

The first steps..

This is the first parkour video I came across some 3-4 years ago before I fully understood what parkour is. This was the catalyst for my decision in becoming a full time practitioner of movement as well as a traceur. It features David Belle the founder of this art, and my hero in movement. The vibe of the French rap rivels the energy of the traceurs. This is one of the videos I keep in my "inspiration library" which I pull from and play regularly. I can't be still after watching it! It makes me do tuck jumps in front of my computer! When I close my eyes I return to vaults, jumps, and rolls I have experienced in my pursuit of fluid environment interaction. It also takes me to places I have yet to train. It makes me feel connected to traceurs and treceuses globally. Watch, enjoy- for we are all one.
