Hi everyone, biggrin.gif
For some time I've been participating in free running/parkour biggrin.gif , however, down here (where i live) parkour isn't working out very well sad.gif and needs a good kick. I have got a couple of people together and they are all wanting to help.

I am wanting to invest in a gym training school to pass my knowledge down, there are parkour gyms about but i need the equipment not the gyms.

Please do not think that I haven't looked because i have! everywhere returning no results. However, I am not the best in finding information like this out. sad.gif

Any help is really appreciated!
Thanks in advance

not much equipment really needed in engaging in parkour, methinks. practically, a sturdy athletic shoes with good soles is all you'll ever need (and a set of gloves with a good grip to protect hands if you want). that's something you're actually wearing on a daily basis as it is already.

you won't even need to invest on a gym to practice your parkour skills, as you can perform parkour in any environment where you can find obstacles you can overcome, as that is what essentially parkour is... efficient and quick movement from one point to another. just find yourself a nice neighborhood where you and your colleagues can enjoy yourselves without bothering others too much. just mill around with others in a circle, like in a campfire with you in the center, if you want to demonstrate your parkour methods as a teacher. biggrin.gif

wikipedia has an entry on parkour which you might want to visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour

Lol well for your information I am a treaceu (parkourist) and have been for many years.
Learning to kong, double kong I always found hard practising on a picnic bench, I even smacked my shins once or twice, needless to say I've found some.
Thanks for all your searching
