Lost but active!!

Wow, its been so long since I posted. Just been lazy I guess. I have been doing way to much to be able to remember it all.

For the most part I have been doing a lot of hikes and natural training.

Diamond head, kokohead, Saint Louis etc.

Teaching 3 to 5 times a week keeps me busy and in shape as well.
Went to Kauai and that was a blast, so much energy, so much live and spirit.

Waimea Canyon - Polihale Beach - Napali Coast - Koke'e State Park

Coming back was definitely a shocker.
Oahu doest and will not feel the same anymore.

Have been doing a lot of barefoot training, some easy terrain some not so forgiving.

Lot of play and exploration in the form of getting in the car with David and just see where we end up.

Breaking personal times doing long hikes, enjoying the live and energy around me as I do so. Starting to stay out again more often, got rained on the first night but it wasnt all that bad.

Being closer and closer to my friends, missing my lover, cleaning the earth anyway I can, one piece of trash at the time.

Gave Kapena Falls some love by doing a leave no trace event.

Did CF for the first time in over a month yesterday....

Came back to Fran, not an easy one to come back to. My time 4:27, two seconds slower than my last time but considering how long I have been gone Im was happy.

Got some red five fingers for free.

Roxy is sexier and more agile than ever.

Ankles are alright, just like always keeping my mind busy and my body aware.

Gotta update HIpk, work on the video review and give the forum more lovings.

Going to the Ohio event on memorial weekend, visiting my mom and training with miami freerunning while at it.
Planning a trip to NY at the end of the year, then Vegas and hopefully Grand Canyon.

Meditating, being a renegade, thoughts of anarchy, getting inside my head a lot, trying to reach for the energies and all that feeding my soul.

Thanks CF today Im sore.

National Parkour Day

We decided to hit this one spot we just found for some movnat training, the first of so many more to come. We tried to most of all the bases, we didint have any trees or much to balance or climb but the rest was well covered and we definitelly had a great time. We couldnt help do some flips and of course I had to get some sweet slowmo shoots in there.

For roxys fans, she did hike and jumped quite a bit but didnt remember to get her on video. She continues to join us and mess around with us. Next time she will be featured as well, promise.

Now go out there and train.

The beginning of a new class at CF.

Oh yesterday was great.

Started with CF WOD.
it was a weight workout. No time just power.

Front squats 5x5 (5 reps of 5)
starting with light weight and finishing with max. I didnt do max but ended up doing 195# on my heaviest.

Press 3x5 (3 reps of 5)
Same thing, looking for heavy finish. I finished with 115#

Not to heavy but didnt want to kill myself before the class.

Back to the PK classes. It was good, small crowd but mostly CFer's so they know whats up when it comes with conditioning.

We started with some hops to get the heart going. Had them there for a while burning the calfs and warming the ankles up. Some squats, stances, and jumps after that to get the legs into it.

We moved on to upper body with all kind of push up drills and definitelly heard some grunting in there. Then some more jumping and crawling and finish with some basic landing.

I was basically introducing them to the kind of exercises we will be doing during the class.
Did some stretching and we were done.

After the Pk class David, I and some friends stayed for some flips. That was the best part. I got two new flips on the first try. Did some regular standing gainers and kept over rotating, some wall fronts and was just a bit short. But I got the palm flip and tunnel flips both on my first try. Both much easier than thought. I also did some running gainers, pretty cool and landed them all except one but not quite confident about them yet. The whole running forward tucking back still gets me.

You can check them out here, this are not the best ones. I kept drilling after a film this and specially the palm flip was much better.

HIpk BBQ

So last Sunday we had a Training BBQ as a warm to the April - PK Awareness Month that we are planning. Brought a bunch of "toys" to train and play with and it was a success, we had a nice set up and lots of food. Several people came from the community and other new faces I have not seen but were happy to participate. We got lots of footage video will be up soon.

As far as training, a did several vaulting but mainly flips. My side flips are getting better and better but need to work on step off sideflips and summit. Did several fronts which hadnt done in a while and a few back layouts. Need to work on getting more distance with my kongs and need to work on longer double kongs as well. Did some gainers, everything god but working on getting further forward. Gotta remember to throw my hips out more.

Getting ready for next weekend, that is going to be wild. Ordered a banner and some flyers to promote PK and HIpk. We are expecting great Hawaii weather and great turn out. We just hope we gets lots of attention and participation from the spectators. Should be an awesome day.

Check out the flyer.
