For those that don't know I have recently moved to Japan, I'm making this as a way to document my trip so my buddies state side can see what all crap I have been up to. I intend to somehow hook up with the local Parkour groups (if I can find them, Japanese are so freaking shy) here and train with them, I have seen some awesome training spots so far, but given the language barrier and I don't know the laws, gonna have to find some folks to hang out with though last thing I need is to be setting in a Japanese prison. Thus I will start this off with pictures.

Best snacks ever made.

Some of the toys at my local gym.

Yea I really don't know, just looked cool

That was a terrifying day, I still don't know what it is...but it tastes good.

Dorm life, we are always calm and well mannered and tend to keep things quiet and peaceful

I found a castle, ran into it looking for a 7 eleven

And last but by no means least, Paradise:

European traceur that visited Japan pointed me in the direction of some guys that train in the Tokyo area, trying to make contact now, hope they read english or this is gonna get awkwarder.

Just walk around holding up a poster of Danny Ilabaca mid-vault, I'm sure somebody would recognize what you're getting at

Heard about some TKPK guys (Tokyo Parkour, thats apparently the name of the group here) that train in Kamakura on Saterdays and Sundays (Sunday being the off day for the school kids). Gonna head to Kamakura this weekend to try and find some and see if I can get a group to start training with. If this works out I so have dips on the title "APK ambassader to Japan".

That will be my title!!!

Im gonna transfer to a college in Japan hopefully within the next year or so. I've been studying Japanese since highschool and a vast majority of my friends are Japanese, so I wanna end up there to study soon.

Bring it, I have more firepower then you, besides I already made contact. Update! Found 2 traceurs at a climbing gym today, came in with a shirt that said parkour on it and they flipped, neither spoke english but we had the best conversation...I can confirm parkour is a universal language.

To bad I wasn't in pk back when I was in Japan. I hung out at the street races out there, the wangan is the shit.

Sick stuff bro. What area of tokyo are you in?

wolf555 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 05, 2011, 02:34:27 AM »

I honestly have no idea, that maps around here are all in Japanese so can't actually read my areas name, I think I'm on the West-Northwest side.

DevintheNinja · « **Reply #12 on:** December 05, 2011, 07:18:30 AM »

What base are you at? I was at yokota air base

Ryan Sannar · « **Reply #13 on:** December 05, 2011, 07:50:40 AM »

Oh. Just curious. I grew up around Shibuya-Ku so I thought I would ask

wolf555 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 06, 2011, 02:26:47 AM »

At Yokota, apparently they found a UXO so base is on lockdown, I can imagine you know how boring that is.

Ryan Sannar · « **Reply #15 on:** December 06, 2011, 07:51:16 AM »

Actually not a military brat so don't have anything to go on for my imagination. I've only visted that base once (I think), but I assume that it would suck. Your not stuck there are you?

Got to spend the day at a climbing gym in Akiba so it's all good, though I missed the explosion.

UXO = Unexploded Ordnance... grenades, mortar rounds, and whatnot. They get found now and again on military bases, particularly at bases that are/were used for things like artillery training, and every so often in Europe they'll find old bombs from WW2 that didn't go off. My last base (Vandenberg AFB) had massive areas cordoned off and signs posted warning people to stay out.

Whenever someone finds one, EOD has to go out and blow it up.
