"Thought I would throw this out for any PE teacher out there who may be considering teaching a Parkour unit to their classes. I just finished a unit with 8th graders and it was very well received. The students had never done anything like it before-not like traditional teams sports or games-and they were all actively involved (and if you know middle school students that aint' easy to do)."

Mexico National Jam
Friday, 20 November 2009
 

Jam Event The Mexico's National Parkour and Freerunning Jam (RT Nacional), organized by UrbanRunners, will be held next December at Mexico City with an estimated 400 practitioners from all over the country. Blane, Thomas and Ryan Doyle - the fantastic trio - are included in the guest list! The jam will last the full weekend of December 19th and will be held at the Alberca Olímpica Mexico '68 (Mexico '68 Olimpic Pool) being a great and huge spot, perfect to receive so many people.

It will be organized as a circuit workshop, with over 40 traceurs and traceuses from different groups and cities working as guides for all the people assisting, and some of them, giving specific techniques or teachings at some of the several stages being planned. Costing $200 MXN (less than 20 US bucks), the registration process has already begun with great anticipation and success! All the info (in spanish) can be found at: http://www.urbanrunners.net/rtnacional09.html and http://www.comunidadparkour.com/blog/

Thank You from Oklahoma Parkour
Tuesday, 17 November 2009
 

American News This was submitted to American Parkour a few days ago, and we just wanted to share with you this success story, as well as highlight and congratulate the Oklahoma Parkour community.

"Hello American Parkour,

I just wanted to take a moment a let you know about the success we have been having in Oklahoma Parkour. This past Saturday was on of our monthly jams in Oklahoma City, and 21 people turned out. To put this in proper perspective, OKPK held two jams in October and September and had a minimal turnout of 7 people or less. Just prior to September, OKPK had canceled all regular meetings due to a lack of interest. OKPK was more of a "whatever, whenever" situation."

Read More for the rest of the letter, and find out how they solved their problem of lack of interest with amazing success!
