ADAPT ADAPT Part 1 Part 2

My week in London, as well as being full of great workouts have been full of discussion, new concepts and perspectives unexplored. Here we have to formalize some 'new ideas that I've done.
  • classes, courses and gymnasiums. Notwithstanding that, I still find useless and dangerous exercise in the gym (but for myself, not for others, for reasons beyond the Parkour in the strict sense), I internalized a lot of ideas of Parkour Generations, after lengthy conversations with Johann, Blane, and Dan Forrest. The painful birth is this: we can not expect that persons engaged in the Parkour, the practice with the same depth with which we practice, we must be content to transfer what little good that every practitioner who want to assimilate. Now then, classes, courses and even in the gym classes in schools, shows another side: Parkour is a happy event, a way to stay fit and to improve its oversight of the movement in space, an excuse to do some 'motion, or even an antidote to obesity for child overweight. Yes, not all practitioners of parkour traceur will become, but that does not in any way mean that those who pass the courses can not begin to live as we lived we Parkour.
  • Standardization and certification. Well, at this point I was already pretty convinced. It 's good that they were the children of Parkour Generations and the ADDA to place obstacles and to recognize the certification. I am more convinced than ever that the only way to maintain a pure discipline, albeit with the possibility of transmitting at various levels. It 's like in martial arts, no one denies that a karateka should go to japan to have the most complete and real experience of the discipline (and it is safe to be expected that the consent of a teacher before teaching certificate), but a course taught by an Italian master well prepared (and certified by the Japanese masters) can change the life of a boy of 8 years. Maybe the kid will never be a great karateka (or will become, and went to study in a real dojo, following the instructions of his first teacher who is a real karate), but it's how well can you do? I think a lot.
  • job. Some of the team can live with Parkour Parkour Generations, sending it and continuing to grow at the same time. I can assure you that I have seen at first hand the difficulties of this life: work, as in London there is a lot, does not enrich anyone, really. Perhaps that in Italy you can survive in these knots? I think I'll try to find out.
  • structure of the course. Certainly there is to say that the kind of teaching that carry PkGen ADDA and is well different from the courses of "parkour" in the gym that you see on the network. I can assure you that the quality has not dropped and you do not do "things that bimbiminchia are willing to do so no more market." There is a strict professional ethics.
No one, certainly not me, to claim that we dream to become a traceur need to follow a course. But how many of us would be what they are without their first workshop of parkour? How many of us have often wished to have a mentor? And those who are wary of what you will learn more effectively by following an example? The central point is: who took that first workshop? Who was the example that we have followed? We had the good fortune to meet the founders, but what happens when they no longer have the time or inclination to continue the work? Parkour left to die? Or ask their permission to carry it forward?

How To Play Multiplayer On Poptropica

ADAPT London

Well, I'm a bit 'excited, things have taken place in a small window of time, even I noticed and tomorrow are already in London. Having spared to publish my thoughts of the scientist-mystic trip to Asia, I promise a detailed discussion of my experience in London.
meantime I can say that the "tests" for this first session of 'ADAPT Instructor Qualification Course "will be held between Tuesday 13 and Friday 16, the candidates are and I will be 16 the only Italian. Others do not know.

Unfortunately, London is one of the most expensive cities in the world and I expect to spend almost as much as I spent a month in asia .. Fortunately I managed to find hospitality in a friendly anonymous traceur (;)) who lives in London and this will help me greatly abbot costs (as well as to enjoy more of the social life of PkGen, or at least I hope!). I will also travel with a backpack full of clothes that I plan to soak in sweat and blood (but no tears ..). I hope to give at least one visit to the London Natural History Museum, would be an unforgivable sin to miss.


From time to time that light the sun sets,
the voice of birds is indistinguishable from the other, of the stream.
The green turns to the remote via the stream;
joy of solitude, you'll never end?

London and brings new evidence.

How To Get A Black Charizard

skeleton of a workout I'm back in Italy

In January I was bored, so I decided to make a videino. I was hoping to be able to coordinate with other Traceur to bring out 4 or 5 at close range but the commitments seem gripped everyone, so I decided to upload it anyway, now that I had done. Although it is impossible to be exhaustive, is an example of training. I tried not to focus too much on the perfection of the movements also to clarify how long la ricerca, ho dato poco spazio alla tecnica perchè quella si trova in qualsiasi altro video. Spero che possa essere utile ai novizi come un canovaccio su cui aggiustare i propri esercizi.

Due cose:
  • Il set di esercizi che mostro non è completo: soprattutto le gambe non vengono allenate con cura.. ancora una volta ripeto, non prendete questo video come una tabella di allenamento completa. Ma, in effetti, è così che mi alleno io: pur esercitando un po' tutto in ogni sessione, mi concentro un giorno sulle gambe e quello successivo su braccia e tronco, ad esempio.
  • Molti degli esercizi che si possono fare non vengono mostrati per svariati motivi, primo tra i quali che non riesco a fare tutti gli esercizi che conosco in una sola sessione di allenamento.
  • Quelle che chiamo flessioni si chiamano, più correttamente, piegamenti. Scusate l'inesattezza (e scusate tutte le altre che troverete ;)).
