Hey everyone, I'm new. My background would be that I discovered parkour along with tricking in the winter of last year, did no training until about spring. From there, I've done cross training in both of them, but haven't really trained rigorously enough to do too much, with swim team and work and school. I'm a junior in highschool and have become really busy, but for parkour, really the best I can do is that roll and landing into a roll as that's about all I've trained. I'm hoping to practice a little more, if I get more free time and the weather clears up. I hate Seattle weather.

Greetings all, I'm new and have NO experience with parkour. However, I've practiced several types of martial arts consistently throughout the last 12 years, and have otherwise been an active fellow. I wanted to gather some opinions on the idea of learning parkour fundamentals solo, as I have not found any instructors near where I live, Albuquerque, NM. If anyone knows of an instructor or club in this area, please let me know!  -Christov |

Come again? I gave up guessing and had to check online, that is Finnish, is it not? Either way I'm at a disadvantage. Aber Ich kann ein bisschen Deutch lesen.... And gamol Angle. But modern English is always best.  |

Oh, sorry, I saw the Greek writing on your signature at the bottom, and I thought you were Greek, especially with the name Christov, because that is common among them. But you speak Dutch eh.. I'm sure that gives you a better understanding of English since it is based in Dutch anyway. So tell me about the meaning behind the Molon Labe... And welcome to the forum  |

I understand. Yes, the signature is a little deceptive in that I do not speak Greek. "Molon Labe" simply means "come and get them," a quote from Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae. I quoted this because I'm a nerd for classical history. So do you speak Greek? I don't speak Dutch, though I just realized i misspelled "Deutsch" (German for "German") in my earlier message. In any case, the languages are quite close. Thanks for the welcome!  |

Yeah, I can speak Greek a bit.. I lived with a Greek girl for four years in Chicago, and learned the language so I could converse with her grandparents, and many of my neighbors were also Greek, so I picked it up from them. It's getting hard for me to speak it as well as I used to because my wife is Somali, and I've been learning that language, along with Arabic, so when I try to speak Greek now, Somali or Arabic comes out. LOL.
Dutch, German.. all the same roots.. the Angles were Dutch/Germanic people, thus Anglish or English.

Parkour has helped me grow as much mentally as it has physically.

I took German 1 . . . twice, lol. That's becasue I didn't do my HW the first time through. I passed with flying colors the second time. And I am amazed how close German and English is. Don't know If I've ever introduced myself though. I'm Michael (as well) and I've been practicing parkour for a little over two years. I love it |
