Limitless Freedom Parkour, is the name of my group. We wanted to put out a video, to showcase our progression thus far. I choose the song and did the editing. I’ve been wanting to make a free running video set to “The Running Free” by Coheed and Cambria, since they are my favorite band. I know it’s not the best video and the editing is not that great but I think that video’s help boost morale among group members, but then again we have only been training for a few months together.

Parkour vs. Freerunning
•February 17, 2010 • 3 CommentsI have been asked by many people over the past year, what discipline do you follow? Parkour or freerunning? I always say that I do freerunning. Freerunning is about following your own path. Doing whatever you feel like doing, expressing yourself in whatever way possible. With parkour, their is a line. Things that you do in freerunning, like flips are not considered parkour because it doesn’t fit the philosophy. Personally, I use freerunning as journey both physically and mentally. I want to take the path where we are not limited in our expression. I would like the two disciplines to come together and be unified but for now I will call my discipline, Freerunning.

Find Your Own Way
•September 17, 2009 • Leave a CommentI recently returned to a class where basic free running techniques are taught. I used to help teach with a buddy of mine but it seems that I am no longer needed as an instructor. I’m not really qualified to teach the sport but I was passionate enough to want to teach. At first I felt a little left out, and as the class rolled on I stopped feeling that way. I realized that the people that were taking the class did not practice outside. This made me realize that I was more capable than most of them. I got home and turned on “Jump Britain”. Sebastian Foucan stated a very profound fact: “Free Running should be practiced by yourself”. It hit me, I forgot the reason I started practicing this dicipline. I wanted recognition for my skills as free runner but I didn’t need it. I realized that free running should be done for yourself, and not for anyone else. After realizing that fact, I now know that I can grow as a free runner. Find Your Own Way.
I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) at the Comquest Academy of Martial Arts. Jiu Jitsu has allowed me to have more confidence in myself, and my grappling abilities. In a way BJJ has saved my life. Train Hard, Fight Easy.
