hey guys, just wanna share something..

from my experience since it was only me n hafiz yg sama2 tubuh community "kkparkour", it seems everytime there is a group jam session mesti ada yang buat alasan n x pergi.. especially the newcomers.
whats the big deal? r they afraid of the seniors(yg PUN baru join)? is it because senior bole buat byk n newcomers x mampu buat byk?

.. our plan is to unite traceurs n SAMA2 BELAJAR, n KONGSI ILMU berkaitan SKIL n PENGALAMAN dlm parkour/freerun.. bukan utk tunjuk kehebatan n siapa paling mantap dlm dunia parkour.. thats why its called GROUP TRAINING SESSION...

mmg ada yg bole buat flip, mmg ada yg bole buat move yg gila.. tp pd asalnya semua pun x pandai buat apa2.. kmi semua berjumpa n belajar sama2... so.... up to u, kmu mau blajar sama2? atau mau kekal dlm kepompong masing2..

peace out!

(lucu sbb dgr alasan yg bukan2...)

Thank God fareez da jelaskan apa yang terbuku dlam hati ku...

Aku pun kadang2 hairan, when setup meeting everyone SEMANGAT mo ikut, but in the end, so many alasan.
Everybody NATO(No Action Talk Only), sory if im rude but common guys, commitment is the key...SHY?? WTH, dlu saya jmpa fareez, IM AM TOTALLY ZERO in parkour, tp tetap training n training n training...Honestly its been really great since i meet fareez THAT day... Dont be shy, Everybody have to start somewhere, so feel the fun in training,
maybe you'll become like david belle someday.

Warning This is a mesej to all members of kkparkour whether you are senior or new member including me.

***senior member wont bite but beware maybe i will......

There can be many reasons to not attend training and some may be good reasons. Whatever the reason the show must go on and we should make best use of group sessions.

What are newcomers afraid of? Hmm... from what I've seen, it's normal for newbies to fell insecure about themselves, especially when the more experienced show their advanced stuff ... No doubt these moves are what newbies want to be able to perform but the problem lies in how to begin?

I feel that the reason behind the 'SHY' attitude is not having a clear guide on how to do things.

It's best to have a leading person, to function as a guide, in a training session. For this, seniors can discuss among themselves on who should guide the group. There's also a good reason to do this. Firstly, newcomers to parkour can learn how to train properly and what they have learned, they can apply it during their individual training. Also, this approach will be much more fun.

Essentially, warm-ups and stretches should be done extensively to avoid injuries. Physical conditioning for strength, power, agility and all those stuff can be included in the 2 hour duration.

After all that, then we can all begin with specific exercises like precisions, vaults, rolls and so on, which is done in repetition. It is by this approach that newcomers can progress much faster and become more comfortable training alongside seniors.

Hence, the role of a guide presents quite a challenge, but nonetheless, will definitely bring good to our nascent community.

Just my 2 sen on the matter guys.

jam session and training sessions should b different or the same?

.. i think training sessions should b the way shaun suggested, n jam sessions are.... erm... a time when ppl meet in groups to do parkour / freerun n at the same time share skills...? hmm...

what i like to do is to do my own thing, my own movement within groups.. n i like to observe ppl's movement n create other possibilities in moving. when ppl seek advice on how to a move i would gladly help out if i'm able...

.....................

in the future, we plan to organize workshops for practitioners where we will camp in a place n do activities relating to parkour such as teachings, discussions, interviews, etc. this workshop will b held perhaps once a year or once every two years.. it's objective is simply to gather practitioners nationwide/worldwide to learn n contribute more in the art of movement in this event so they can train on their own in their regular time.. this workshop will happen after we have registered kkparkour club. the status of the registration now is that we have already submitted the registry form.. all there is to do now is to wait...........

bagi aku training n jam session sama jak...

setiap session mesti kita ada belajar sesuatu n mesti kta ada share something with others, so basically its the same thing for me... but the REAL training for me was when i'm alone, although there's a risk...

........

Bout the pk workshop, that is a very good idea bro... i've always dreamed we doing some camping and do teaching parkour and stuff... so basically im on top of it... cant wait for the registration go through...

my understanding of GROUP training is this:



..............

one person guiding the training.. training should have the warm ups/strecth/conditioning/basic parkour/and flow..

................ and jam sessions are more like 'ppl doing their own movement...'

.... just my point of view............

r u comfortable n satisfied with our jam/training session right now? or do u prefer something like the parkour generation training?
and as for jam sessions, 'like the 3Run family jam' (u dont train, u just do yr own movement, but u can still learn n share skills n advice to others..)

pls share yr views.........
