Parkour coaching

This Saturday just gone I woke up at the rediculously late time of 1 o'clock (I had worked the night before so it is justified slightly)I realsied I was late for the parkour coaching thing I had read on the internet so I jogged up to the rec in old town and joined in, a guy called chris who was obviously a very skilled traceur and when he moved made me realise how far from my personal goals I really was; which quite oddly was very comforting and inspiring

Chris taught me and the other kids that were there a vault I had never really seen anyone doing before (step vault) and then a variation of it (reverse step vault) that seemed to work very efficiently, i realise, infact i realised a long time ago, that parkour isn't about this vault or that vault but none the less it's always useful to learn a new way of moving as a bigger variety gives a better chance of moving efficiantly also this reverse sterp vault provides a better alternative to reverse vaults (more control and safer) so I'm definately going to practice this alot and focus on it becoming something im very comfortable with

later on I trained with forest who more than anything clearedf up a few things that I wasn't 100% sure on which is cool.

I really need to train more this lack of training is disgusting but I'm sure every traceur has parts in their lives that get like this.
