Right, I don't know where to start, well the beginning of training would be a place =]
Josh called for me at first and we waited for Luke to come, we watched some vids for some inspiration, Luke arrived and we went straight out. We headed to school and went to science, we now realise the potential such a small, simple spot can have. As usual we warmed up with some conditioning, again we did stair hops, calf raises and press ups. Next we drilled the basics and some stuff like kong-to-cats and kong-to-pre's. All was going well and the weather was absolutely perfect, i knew it was going to be a goooood days training.
We were on the first bit of science for quite a bit (as shown, there is more but the pic was being gay) , something new I did here was a 360 cat, (kick the wall then 360 and cat) on the slanted wall with the rail the whole way across.

Then we moved round the corner where there are a few rails and some bars that are about 6 foot high and parallel. One of my main aims was a lache to cat on these as there is a wall close to one of the bars. I did it after about 4 attempts and then again after another, I consider this a big achievement for me as it's a pretty big gap between them. Then I did a kong-to-cat that i'd never done before, its from a rail to a ledge and a rail. Another achievement =D. We started doing some techy training on a corner rail which had three rails, one at the top, on at the bottom and one in the middle. We did a few tiny dynos and body drops, and basically just doing new and different things. My rail work has improved soooooo much today and i really don't feel uncomfortable with rails like i used to be. More rails to come, more progression. I learnt diving kongs on rails, and my balance has probably doubled today.
I've mentioned all of my progress that has been made today, but about the day, it was a brilliant days training. I don't know why this was, but the atmosphere and feeling of the day was amazing, if i carry on training as we did today my progression pace will fly up at a faster rate than ever before. Thanks Luke and Josh H for being there today and hopefully will be there again and again. Parkour has become an essential to me and my life, I hope I will progress to a level that I think is acceptable and will not stop until i'm satisfied.

I know I haven't written much but there is nothing more to say, Todays training = Wow.
Bubble =D

Words can't describe the atmosphere there, it was immense. It was like, Yamakasi style, techy, simple parkour put into unorthadox extremes:P It was alla case of looking deeper, and we were really focused. More days like this please? :P
Good to here you are getting into some good training, keep it up.
-One thing though. Parkour isn't about fast improvement and what level you are at. Everybody learns at their own rate and you shouldn't feel happy/unhappy because you have/have not reached a certain 'level' of ability.
A fairer way to judge a traceur is how he trains and how much he trains. I respect complete noobs putting the effort in far more than I do a guy with amazing ability that has been training on and off for 5 years.
What makes a traceur a traceur is the way they train, the motivation, the need to train. I cannot name a single traceur that doesn't flip, part of parkour is about learning new ways to move, to control your body and flips, matial arts etc come under that, so forget about traceurs being non-freerunners etc. Being a traceur means you take parkour as a discipline and you strive as hard as possible to better yourself, not necessarily at a fast rate or to a certain level, just simply to better yourself.
It is all about the training you do and the effort you put in, not how good you are. Forget about the 4D guys and concentrate on building 'your' body and 'your' mind!
Peace
