Hardcore Parkour!

After school every Tuesday, Thursday and sometimes Saturday, I go to a place called Apex-Movement from 6-9pm. It is a ginormous parkour/break-dancing gym. This place has a very large significance in my life because of how much I love doing parkour and free-running. I have been going to Apex for about a year and 2 months, for 2-3 days a week. It’s really interesting to see how much people, in general, improve physically and mentally, the more they have been training at this gym. Parkour is all about confidence and strength, if you want to get good; you have to increase each of these together. You may be wondering what the difference between parkour and free-running is: parkour is just getting from location A to location B, as fast and efficient as possible. Free-running is basically the same thing, but instead of going as fast as possible, you try to make it look as awesome as possible; its more for the flashy, cool looking factor, not really for speed. Free-running and parkour both have flips involved, but free-running has them much more so. I really love them both, and you can’t do one without the other, so I like them equally. Anyone reading this should defiantly check out Apex-Movement, you might find your dream sport.
