Belco Training

Met up with Ruz, Josh and Conan yesterday for some training in belco. Hit up a few spots, just like old times. I also got a few things for the first time. This included proper climbs and double cat passes. My climb ups have a lot of room for improvement, but I can do them properly now. I've also found an arm jump in the derro apartments, that I can progress up to.

FNC

Had FNC tonight. It wasn't at as great an intensity as last week. We got rained out. I am finding that I can do the exercises a lot easier, which shows that my fitness is improving.

Holder Gym Parkour

Went to Holder gym last night. Did a bit of this and that. We even taught some guys cat-passes. The major focus of the session ended up being double cat passes. The difference for this time from the others, is that we got the whole floor space. We set up the blocks without any crash mats, for the first time. The biggest distances we hit were 7 feet. We got some footage of it too, to show everyone how big we've been doing them.

Parkour Progression Videos

I've decided to start documenting my progression in training through parkour progression videos. If I make one every couple of months, I will be able to get a good idea as to how my training has progresses over time.

I'll start filming the first one after my uni exams finish.

APA Basics Class - Civic

Taught a class today. It was raining in the beginning, but we still had an okay turnout, 14 people. We're getting the warmups done properly. We worked on cat passes and precisions. The conditioning, that everyone hates. They'll later understand how important conditioning is. We made it a free class, as the conditions were pretty dodgy. Overall it was a good lesson.

Friday Night Conditioning (FNC)

Friday Night Conditioning (FNC) last night was awesome. I was able to really push myself. Everybody was able to push themselves at whatever level they were comfortable with. I was even able to get the stair pushup wheelbarrows. I felt so good after getting it. If I can do this on a regular basis, I know that it will help me dramatically. It will help me both with my parkour as well as PT.

Holder Gym Parkour

Went to Holder gym last night. Did some more big stuff. I think that I am starting to get confident enough to try double cat passes outside. I know the perfect block to try them on first. I also got my reverse cat passes back. I even tried some cat pass to precisions on the beams. I need to practice them on the lower beam more, then I'll move up to the level beam.
