I started training after watching a documentary called Jump Britain on Channel 4 after which I started messing around with friends who all got bored and moved on to something else. This is when I found Herts Parkour, I started taking my training seriously and realised exactly what Parkour was. Since then Parkour has become a huge part of my everyday life, not just in the movement but the mindset, fitness and view on life.




 

I stumbled across Parkour when my mum taped Jump Britain for me thinking I would be interested, little did she know just how interested I was.
The improvement aspect is just as important as the movement, my aims are to progress; mentally, physically and socially, welcoming new challenges and new friends. Parkour has helped me through so many good and bad times, and I know it will do forever.

I first learned about Parkour from the Jump London and Jump Britain documentaries but only started training seriously when I joined the Hertfordshire Parkour community in 2007. Ever since then, Parkour has been a big part of my life; it just seems to fit naturally with who I am. I aim to be a useful member of the community and help those that are interested to form an understanding of what Parkour is.

I started Parkour in Easter 2007 and fell in love with the community and the freedom it gave me in movement and life. I aim to continue to develop the Parkour community in an enjoyable and safe, progressive manner.


 

When I saw Parkour for the first time on the Channel 4 documentary, Jump London, it was something I could not take my eyes away from. From that moment in early Spring 2003 I have been trying to find my way through my own training, something that has lead me to meet a huge amount of inspiring and genuine people and of course I am still trying to develop my own movement.

This community has come a long way, from the very early days of the SA:PK group (St Albans Parkour) through the prolific and ever expanding Herts Parkour community and now to BHB Parkour. This last step brings with it something I consider the most important of all - linking our communities. I hope our Parkour will exist within and around our extended family and will continue to benefit the lives of the people who follow it's practices.

Parkour first came to my attention when the Rush Hour television advert aired on the BBC. It wasn't until January 2005 that I found out what Parkour actually was. I started training that night and haven't looked back. Before long, I set up Beds Parkour with a view to helping people share my passion for Parkour and help them begin training in a safe and responsible way. I am proud to be the person in Bedfordshire that most people are referred to when they start training and aim to help Parkour have a positive future throughout Beds, Herts and Bucks.
 

I have my mum to thank, as she was the one who actually watched the programme (Jump Britain) and told me about. I did not actually show a real interest until I saw two traceurs practising at the quadrant and it all began from there. Parkour has played a huge role in my life and through it I have made such genuine and down to earth friends. Although I am currently residing in Saudi Arabia, Parkour is still a huge part of my life in various forms.
