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/

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!

Chris Salvato and Steve Low, two of the gurus of the fitness forum, have launched Eat Move Improve (EMI). Their mission statement: "Eat. Move. Improve. (EMI) was originally created out of the
necessity for a concise, easy to follow guide to proper training for
practical strength, hypertrophy, weight loss and wellness. EMI’s ultimate goal is to allow a simple-to-follow progression for
trainees of all experience levels. This allows the absolute beginner
to progress up to an advanced level of fitness knowledge in a very
short period of time." They already have a handful of extremely educational articles on their website, and will be adding more and more as time goes on. This articles are on topics important and relevant to beginners as well as advanced athletes. While this site is not focused on parkour, but on all around fitness, there is still a ton everyone can learn there!
