 The Asia Fitness convention was this past week in Thailand and all things considered parkour played a large role in the proceedings. First there was a parkour demonstration during the opening ceremonies.

Then every day for up to two hours Dan and Stephane would lead a Parkour or Parkour conditioning class.

Finaly at the end of the week they led a special two day ADAPT course for fitness proffesers.

Here is what Dan had to say about the event.

"Well, the Asia Fitness Convention 2012 is done and done - and what an event it was... Three days, 700 delegates from around the Asia region and beyond, some amazing presenters and a few traceurs crashing the proceedings in the form of Dan, Stephane, Forrest, Johann and Dom. And parkour stole the show ;)"

"The AFC was the first time ever that parkour has been displayed on one of the big stages of the world's fitness industry, and it was incredibly well-received by the fanastic crowd of fitness professionals attending the event. We had a great time, and very much look forward to returning next year and seeing everyone again to put them through their paces..."

"We'd like to extend huge thanks to Suzanne Hosley at Fitness Innovations for organising the event and inviting us to be guest presenters, and to Fabio Comana at NASM for being so visionary in his approach. We encountered to many amazing people there to name them all - great coaches and teachers like Fraser Quelch, Diane Vives, Sally Belanger and Emily Spichal -  but we'd like to give our respect and gratitude to all of them for making our time at the convention such good fun."

"Thanks also to Marcus and Freemove for bringing the gear and supporting throughout, and to everyone else who put so much hard work into making it such a successful event. And to all the delegates who threw themselves into our crazy world of training with such enthusiasm and spirit. Amazing stuff!"

Apparently, the AFC thought very highly of Dan and Stephane as well Check out what they had to say about them on their instructors page here.
