Howdy! (i hate that word..) I'm Michael, Alias: Mooka Pooka (Mook for short...) and I live in Dallas, Tx! I literally just found parkour and was so excited I peed my pants! (joke!). I am currently running, jumping, and doing the warm-up everyday. I've been a Martial Artist for over 20 yrs. (started @ 5), but, I've been what some would call a "lazy" martial artist for the last 5. Parkour is kicking my butt! and it's great!

I love the blog because I can check back in periodically and have a whole record of my Parkour journey from the very beginning...

Train Hard, don't be a lazy pooka.

Hey everybody, my name is Parker, I'm 18, and I love jumping over stuff. I hail from Arizona and I'm currently living on campus at ASU. I've been running around and doing what I love for about a year or so now, just here and there. I've decided to rededicate my interest in Parkour recently, hence myself being here. So...... Hi APK!

Hey everyone! My name is Joshua Parker. I am 22 and from St. Louis, MO. I am athletic and have been interested in Parkour for awhile and just started this week. And ran across this site. I am interested in chatting with anyone and getting advise from people that have done this for awhile. Thanks guys!

Hello, everyone, I'm Austin. I usually go by either that or Ajax, though Ajax is what I am known as online. I am from Sioux Falls, SD, though I am now living in Estherville, IA. I've been into Parkour for just a little over a year, now, and I like to say I'm decent at it, but the only thing I'm really good at are speed vaults

. There's nothing really anywhere for me to practice on here, and as far as I know, there's no one around here that can help me, so I've been trying to learn on my own, and it hasn't been real pretty

.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I'm here, the noob from E-Ville.

EDIT: Correction, I've got no one that knows Parkour to train with, all I've got is a cross-country runner that's only really up here for school days, and a dude I brought up from Texas, neither of which know how to do much with PK. They can help me, they just can't do it themselves. $:-\$

Hello Ajax

i'm Hazim, and you're lucky, because for me, I got NO ONE to train with. absolutely no one. However, with a little will and a lot of dedication and love for Parkour, I can do kong vaults now! you can train those over the hood of a car, excellent surface. I think there are cars in E-Ville, right?

Austin Skyberg aka Ajax · « **Reply #1408 on:** October 02, 2009, 09:05:56 AM »

Plenty...none that I own, though. lol

Hazim Salem · « **Reply #1409 on:** October 02, 2009, 09:11:53 AM »

Your mom's? if you don't want to use a car, use a picnic table, or anything else that has the same height, and that is stable.

Sweet! ASU West or Main?

One guy just posted the other day from ASU West in the Arizona Local Board... forum... thingy. You guys should definitely hook up and train some time, or you can train with any of us in Phoenix--let me know if you're interested.

If you're at ASU Main in Tempe, I think there's a pretty strong PK scene over there; they're about to start PK classes on campus, so you should get involved if that's where you're at.

In any case, head over to arizonaparkour.com and introduce yourself, cause there's bound to be someone near you.

ASU Main. Dang I didn't know ASU had much of a PK scene, like my friend checked out some old ASU PK club but it wasn't updated for a few years. I'll go check out those links for sure. I'd love to train with someone (like I said I've never done much except for messing around every few nights over the summer). I'd love to get started with someone who could actually help me improve and whatnot. Do you have any more info on the classes at ASU? I looked but couldn't find anything.

SteveTheCookie · « **Reply #1414 on:** October 05, 2009, 12:46:02 PM »

Hi everyone. I'm Steve, 14 years old. I'm half American and half Swiss, so English and French are both my native languages. I live in St. Petersburg, Florida. I love Parkour, I found out about it in June or July, but I think it's too hot here to do Parkour in the summer, so i'm starting to really get into it now. I've gotten a couple of my friends into it too, so we'll be practicing a lot. =)

Deck17On · « **Reply #1415 on:** October 05, 2009, 09:22:00 PM »

Hey guys. Jamie here. Out in SF, CA. Just started training recently and I'm loving it. Not too much learned yet, but I've got the basic roll down without grinding my head on the pavement, so a good first step I guess. Anyone in the Bay want to hang out, just hit me up.

The classes haven't been started yet. Francesco is the guy who's trying to get them started, so you can ask him for details on the AZPK forums
