Ozzi, of HawaiiPK in response to his overwhelming efforts in helping not only the Hawaiian Parkour community grow, but the entire American (and World Wide) community, has been invited to join the APK Alliance. Ozzi's incredible dedication to training, spreading, and teaching Parkour should be an inspiration to everyone, and we hope that a spot on The Alliance will give him more resources and opportunities, and enable him to continue his work even more!

------------------------------------
At the end of summer 2007 Ozzi stumbled into a discipline that has been waiting for his interest for the last 3 year. Now founder of the Hawaii Parkour scene. He runs Hawaiipk.com and organized the 1st and 2nd Parkour Seminar in Hawaii. Born in Venezuela, Ozzi was always a hyper kid who constantly jumped from sport to sport looking to find that one activity which could satisfy his thirst for balace and adrenaline rush. With a extensive background in Martial arts (kempo, ninjutsu), freestyle dance and breakdancing, Ozzi has used his creative vision and and physical abilities to make of Parkour his new life style. His background have enabled him to excel quickly throughout his Parkour training, most of which he has spent teaching others and enhancing his own skill. Ozzi's main focus is to share Parkour as a new discipline and life style to anyone interested in this for of art. His showmanship and out going personality have given him the opportunity to be feature on the media which he used to represent and spread the word about his life style, Parkour.

HIpk is also in association with Crossfit Oahu to bring high quality, intense training to those who are willing to try something new. Among our student are, military personal (marines, navy) law enforcement and fireman as well as the stay in mom. From all background and ages.

Being part of the APK Alliance is a honor and a opportunity to continue to strive for success and increase my own knowledge and skills while spreading my thoughts and ideas and continuing to guide others. I find that one of the best ways to learn and understand motion is by trying to explain it. I owe the improvement of certain techniques to the moments when I was trying to break a technique down for others, realizing I was not doing some of the things I explained were needed to do.
As a member of the APK Alliance, this desired for improvement and knowledge sharing will not longer be personal choice but now a mission joined by passion. This is also an opportunity for me to interact with some of the best in the country who can offer some guidance while sharing my own ideas and thoughts.
