Introductions

[DC]

First off it would be great to know who you are and what got you interested in parkour, etc. So drop your name (doesn't have to be your real one), where you from and how long you've been training.

It's always great to know us girls are appreciated - after all, anything boys can do, girls can do in high heels! (But maybe not parkour?!)

I've always suspected that girls approach parkour very differently, if only because our strengths lie in different areas - not for us the enormous jumps or rolls or cat leaps (I have NO upper body strength), but rather a focus on technique and balance. Anyone else feel this way?

[edited this post to remove conversations from guys which did not belong in this thread. sorry guys, Art's right. GIRLS ONLY thread]

PS, girls.... keep an eye and ear out for a girls only training session in jozi coming up soon.

(already had two new girls at the last training session in wits. AWESOME!)

Hi
Im new to parkour also but i find the focus on conditioning isnt as big as it is with the guys. maybe if we intensified our training we could get to doing the various vaults etc quicker??

the best training for parkour is parkour!

At the moment we only have like.. 1 Female member. YOU. LOL

Hopefully more will follow. At first you might feel a bit intimidated, but don't let that worry you.

See you on Saturday.

Yeah we take good care of our new members and teach them all the basics and the essentials that you will need to know in terms of conditioning so if you haven't already Natalie i suggest you join us for a session.
