Fast forward!

Alright... its been way to long. Lets fast forward.

After Venezuela I welcomed myself to the United Kingdom. 

On August 8th, still with the hype from teaching in Colombia and having met the pk guys from Venezuela, I arrive in UK ready for what would be a journey of physical re discovery.

While my body was nor feeling at it strongest, my recovering knee was responding well, I was ready to face another goal of mine, to participate in the London Rendezvous of 2013.

My participating in the RDV international parkour event as a coach was a dream come true, working along side many inspiring athletes, like Chau Belle, Chris "Blane" Rowat and many more allow for some awesome experiences.

In UK I was to meet Leanne, a lovely woman who has been a great influence in my personal life. Long story short we have shared amazing experiences and learned many valuable lessons together. From there we decided to embark to Asia. (Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.) to share lessons from life. it's been a blessing and an incredibly joy to share this journeys with this active, playful and adventurous partner in crime.

This trip was full of surprise for body mind and spirit. I was to be tested in many ways to regrow in strength and conviction. 

Them there was the ADAPT level two class in Glassgow, Scotland. To say the least, it should be renamed to Body and Mind Rite of Passage. I was challenged and stood strong, I was beaten down and stood back up, I was humbled and my heart gained strength. This event lasted a week, and while the week after I could not longer feel my body my spirit was re energized. 

I realized that even after the injury, even after not having trained in so long, the essence of my practice and strength of my will and the resiliency of my body never left me. I would do it all over again... But I hope Dan Edwards does hear that :)

Lastly there was a short trip to France... Where leanne and I stayed with Annty Marais (PKG coach) who took us around for a Parkour tour to Lisses, the birth place of the discipline which has changed my life. A short pilgrimage to touch the essence and witnessed the marks of what was left behind from so many others, who like me, came to this place to connect with the roots of the discipline.

Grateful for all of this, I was ready to head to Asia. Thailand awaited, and I was prepared.
