<p>as for jump city, i have no clue what it is, but it looks better than the ultimate parkour competition thing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't train anymore. ;( Still plenty useful though. It looks like things are going pretty well around here too. Good luck.</p>

<p>It introduced parkour and freerunning to more people in 30 seconds than you or I will our entire lives. Completely clean performance. </p>

<p>Good luck with the SOLO training.</p>

<p>I wasn't able to find out about parkour without the big moves and the flips- as of a few years ago that's been unavoidable- that's just not what attracted me to it. To be honest, because I'm attracted to what's common with other activities I've enjoyed, I'm as likely to be someone who eventually moves on to something else, just more on the timeframe of a few years rather than a few tough sessions.</p>

<p>I'm focusing more on whether the communities are ready than the state of those coming into the community. New and potential members are by their nature ignorant, but that's not a judgement- like developing a beginner's mind, ideally that means they come in without preconceptions rather than retain a mindset against learning.</p>

<p>Learning to teach and coach has inevitable missteps just like learning anything else, but I am concerned that in the rush to meet these newcomers, we look to anyone who is willing to teach instead of developing qualified teachers. That's not a call for a formal certification body, just for higher standards in understanding of parkour- the physical and mental aspects equally- and not ust willingness and having been doing parkour for longer or having bigger moves than the trainee.</p> If someone believes in and pr…tag:baparkour.ning.com,2011-02-18:2070047:Comment:738692011-02-18T20:54:47.051ZChrishttp://baparkour.ning.com/profile/kaos
If someone believes in and practices something that is toxic to our community, we should certainly exclude them (after trying to reason with them).
