Here are a couple of the photographs taken of the session.

Workshop Madness

Well Saturday was the day that the Lincs Parkour Gym sessions had its biggest register ever, with over more than a hundred students turning up. what an outstanding turn out of little Lincolnshire !!

So any how about the workshop this week. It was truly crazy ! To begin with I took everybody outside (as it was such an awesome day) for a warm up/conditioning session. This included a lot of CV work for instance jogging round the football and rugby pitches, then sprints, side stepping, big skips and quadrapedal all the length of a rugby pitch twice ! After that we got into some jumping on your toes to get the calves burning (cant say the students were a big fan of this one) then some more leg work mainly on the quads though. Then I got the students doing some arm work then finally finishing of the conditioning with the core for example static abs, v-ups, crunches etc. Once we had finished conditioning I then took them through some stretches and then we all sprinted back into the hall after about 45 mins of warming up !

Once in the hall Me, Ryan, Jack Dale, Jammie and Jonny all took a group of the students and took them through different routes through a different set of obstacles, This included Tic-Tac precisions, slides, arm jumps, Cat pass - arm jumps, Balancing and a whole variety of just moving through round and over the red blocks ! It was all going well just getting the kids to move their own way maybe giving some ideas of what to do. After they got the idea we let them have about 45 mins to do as they pleased looking at different things seeing if they could overcome an obstacle their OWN way and if they wanted help to do something specific like help with a technique we were more than happy to help as I know me and Jammie set up a Cat Pass course to help students work on it. The students seemed happy yet tired as all of the moving and conditioning they had been doing but was amazing to see kids as young as 8 still trying their hardest. After their 45 minutes of “freedom” I then again took all the students outside for a warm down once finished the beginners went home and then It was time for advanced.

Christ Almighty: Week 15

We had a good class this week, 23 students attended

Was a little bit of trouble setting things up today because people are wanting to move onto harder things, but with new people attending each week it is hard to keep everyone accommodated

We set up a cat crawl run under some mats, and a large circuit for people to try. the most fun thing we did was swinging under-bars from ropes through small gaps in obstacles. was a mighty fine challenge (only managed the lower one myself)

The circuits and conditioning disguised as parts of the run worked well though and everyone enjoyed themselves (when they weren’t being punished with press-ups for breaking tricking rules or swearing!)

Will keep you updated for next week
