im a boy, i dont have very good upper body strength either, but it is a v.good idea to go rock climbing. or if you dont want to, just keep on doing pk and you'll eventually build the upper body up. you in a crew?

Am also wanting to get involved with free-running. Have been interested in it for a while now. There's good advice on workouts etc to improve strength and fitness on another site Based in SW London.....am thinking some of the parks could be a decent place to start. Does anyone know if there are any gym sessions, crash mats and vaults etc that welcome new kids???

Hi, im hugely fascinated by the new phenomena of Parkour, so im now doing a dissertation on it. Im a second sport science student at exeter university. i need to carry out my field research preferably over the summer, where im based near gatwick, so i dont mind coming up to london. This is where i need your help!! i need to observe, photograph and interview some free runners. i need to find out about this rapidly growing sport (if thats what it is exactly!?). i need to know what it involves, who does it, why they do it, how they got into etc!! i would love to come along to a big or small jam session and just hangout. however i dont know any free runners, so this is where i need you to let me know of events and jam sessions etc. PLEASE PLEASE help me!! im on holiday from friday till 3rd of august, but im around after that! Happy Days, Liv

Then it's easy, just head down to the shell center in waterloo (near the london eye) on the weekend. A couple of hints though, it's parkour not free jumping and do some research first to find out what your getting yourself into, it's not anything like skating or anything like that, the nearest comparison is like a martial art, however using the skills of movement to get to and from places/people. It is an art, centered on the notion that the skills you learn are to help you help others or yourself if there is ever the situation. Basically, do your research, it's not as straightforward as most people think good luck, hope to see you down there at some point (I usually try to go on sundays)
