[dominicluke]

hello to all in sheffield.

i'm luke, and have been training parkour for 2-2.5 year now with 'teghead' ( if you dont know him, check youtube lol)

basically i'm fairly certain i'm going to be going to the hallam uni in september so i'v been checking out sites to see if theres much of a scene for parkour in sheffield....and luckily there does seem to be

so yeah, just thought i'd say hi, and that at some point i'm going to spend a long weekend up in sheffield to check out the uni and city etc and would very much like to meet with some local traceurs and have a good days training and a laugh. when i know when i'll be comming up i'll probably put together a thread so erm yeah....looking forward to it :p

peace.

Hi Luke

Sounds good, just drop us a line when you know when you'll be about.

[dominicluke]

hello again to all. thought i'd give another heads up on when i will be in sheffield......i'm definately in sheffield on saterday th 20th of march, however i will be unable to train that day ( uni stuffssss)

though, i should be in sheffield for a couple of days before and after. so if anyone feels like a spot of training (i'v never been to sheffield so no no spots etc) and has any preferences for days etc let me know?

[dr.havoc]

i should be around then as i might have a lot of freetime then and i probably be down to see family

but hit me up and i can try and come down.

dave are you around on the feb holidays ?

[Dave]

I'll be around as much as ever.

Luke, I should be around to train on that Saturday and maybe some of the days before and after, so just let me know when you know precisely when you'll be out. At the moment I'm in Manchester on Sundays and Burnley Fridays but the Sundays might change between now and then.

[dominicluke]

hello im new to parkour n i want people who do it aswell like u lot so im gunna come and see what its like n make some new friends who like doin parkour like me

[shleech22]

Hi guys could anyone please tell me if there is an age restriction thanks!

[Dave]

No age restriction, but if you're younger than about 15 then you're going to have to be more careful about which movements you practise outside to avoiding damaging your body while it's growing.

hi i'm new to parkour and can only do few simple moves like volts well infact thats the only thing i can do do u minf if me and a coupel other ppl join u ?
and i'm also wondering if u could teach how to do a back flip or some advance moves. where do u meet and at what times? thanx

[Dave]

The details for the training sessions are in the other sticky thread in this forum. Everyone's welcome.

The strength and agility that you develop by practising Parkour means that acrobatic movements become easier for you, but the purpose of Parkour is to get past obstacles rather than to show off so practitioners don't tend to use flips and somersaults that much. Individual techniques aren't as useful as strength, balance, coordination and general fitness.

Hey it's Mat here ^^ I'm ill now so this is the reason why I missed last trainings, to thursday I should be ok so I will appear on saturday's one ; )

[akeel.2k]

i'll see u there mate

[drpepper]

hi my names Connor im 17 and ive been wanting to train for parkour for ages but never had the get up and go to do it on my own.
i was wondering if the times and places were still the same and whether it would be possible as an absolute beginner to just turn up and join in and hopefully get some coaching at the same time.
i consider myself pretty fit (no doubt most of the people there would put me to shame though ) and im very motivated when i want to be. if anyones got any info could you reply asap.
look forward to starting as soons as. cheers.

[Will]

Yep. Fine. Sure.

[drpepper]

cool ill probably come to the monday session @ 6.

[eagle]

hey im eagle from doncaster parkour, i dnt no sheffield at all tbh and me and a few people are really wanting to come this weekend, could somebody meet us at the train station if possible?

[eric]

Can see there aint a whole lotta recent posts here, but I'm gonna be looking in on Hallam Uni thingy from time to time on Saturdays, see whats going on, and when I can get some real running shoes I might see what I can do. Many people running wit you lot?

[Dave]

We've got a regular bunch of about half a dozen at the moment, plus a few others who occasionally stop by.

There's no real need for us to post messages all the time when there are regular sessions. Rest assured, there are people training in Sheffield.
