Karin!

Hip-hip-horray … Karin’s coming to stay!
During the new years period we have a fellow Saiyan family member joining us from Austria. Karin will be coming over for week from 27 Dec to 2 Jan. She’s been training over in Austria and I know she can’t wait to be back in London so it will be a brilliant chance to get out and train with her (since it’s been a while) and I’m sure she’d appreciate having some people around to train with and see some old and possibly meet some new faces. Let us know, give us an e-mail or call, if you’ll be free around this time and can meet up. Here’s to hoping make her stay & new years a memorable one!

SaiyanGirl..Mojo and Parkour Generations

On Sunday 3rd August I attended my first parkour girl jam held by some of the members of Parkour Generations team in Kilburn. Being a bit of a newbie to the parkour world, it was a great chance to meet and train with other girl traceurs.
Soon after meeting up with everyone the heavens opened, making it a cold and very wet session but everyone soldiered on in the pouring rain. I enjoyed having the other girls there to train with, it was a different experience than training with guys.
A big thanks to Tracey, Thomas & Dan for the chance to come along and their help on the day. I had a brilliant time with the ladies … see you all at the next jam!

Zee Germans are Coming!!!

On Friday (14th)Lukas and Shao from German based Team Nemo are flying over to visit the vibrant UK Parkour scene and train with as many Traceurs as they can. They will be joined by another team member, Marvin, on the 19th and they be here to the 23rd. These guys really excited to see all the popular spots so if anyone is around, especially during the week give us an email or call.

We are heading down to Southbank with them on Sunday, so if anyone is about, we'll see you there.

We met the team in Essen, Germany over the summer, and we could tell straight away these guys were very dedicated and had a good Parkour spirit. So we invited them over to London and we hope they will leave a little wiser, stronger and tired from the experience.

Any we leave you with a little vid they did last year for German tv...

EightyeightDays

A good friend of the Saiyans, Elliot recently left all of us Londeners behind for an adventure in Finland. He's only been gone a couple of months and he's already writen a thought provoking insight into his life, along with an awesomly arty video.

"As a race we no longer live in a kill or be killed world, where other humans or animals are an immediate threat to our survival (although some people may have you believe that). It is no longer only the strong who survive, and this is one reason why my motivations for training are not for the sole purpose of escape."

This is a really inspiring piece and its worth taking time out of your day to read it.
