Parkour School

3 Sophomores from a public high school in Maine came to Primal Fitness for a week long phys-ed class. Ness, Kai, and Luke all learned a bit about Parkour and a bit about training and conditioning. The guys did a great job in what was a very tough week, it is hard to train someone more than an hour a day even with a day of rest in between, let alone 2-3 hours a day with no rest. Not only did we cover the physical, but the guys wrote a few papers on the pre-history and history of parkour, the differences between parkour and freerunning (with video backup) and soon to come a paper on the philosophy(ies) of Parkour. After 4 days of intensive training they joined the advanced class for some cat leap and top-out training, and finally on Friday we went outside where Parkour belongs. The guys will apply for school credit for their work at Primal. It was a pleasure having them and we hope to see them again soon. No doubt they'll make their way to some jams.
