Parkour baby!

Parkour -- l'art du déplacement; the art of moving
                 is a physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, as if moving in an emergency situation, using skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves.


The first time I heard about parkour was 2 years ago. And it was still in Manila and then Cebu, And finally, just last summer, a few people started Parkour Davao.


And just this afternoon, I had my first parkour practice. Yey! :D. It had been my all time dream to learn parkour. 


It was hard. With all the basic crawl, basic roll, hanging on a wall, etc, etc. And it's a bit frightening, too. Like, doing kong. But it was fun. I had a great time. 


And now, I'm anticipating extreme body pains tomorrow. Hahaha. 


P.S.: My wrists are painful. They're swelling. But it's okay. It's like, yenoe, a good feel of pain. :)
