Problems With Rth 3100c

Parkour business

Three Parkour things about which I would like to report:


1) children's canal: drive it!

First of all, the report from the Children's Channel. Nearly perfect, very satisfied with the preparatory work (was on all the conditions discussed), with the agreement before the shooting day (date, place, and participants choose), to design the day of shooting itself (drinks, unobtrusive and non-disruptive camera team) Wrap-up (OFF-text checked by me) and final version, all looks wonderful. A very large, and well deserved thanks to Inca Fries!



2) teacher training Duisburg


Last Wednesday I am from encapsulated the university of life and went to Duisburg to refer to, in cooperation with the regional sports development at a sports teacher education on Parkour. This request was sent to me personally as a continuation of a previous state project (2 hours in a sports school in Duisburg-Meiderich), because the then competent sports clerk recommended me to his colleagues and passed my contact has continued.

were according to an extensive preliminary language made all the preparations and the cooperation was nothing to prevent.
The day itself went off very satisfactorily, but it was because of the high number of participants (~ 25 physical education teachers) to some delays at the various teaching stations of the indoor track. The group of participants united in all age groups (approximately 20-65) and was varied by gender (approximately 50:50). Large, Small, Heavy, Light: Everything was there.

All teachers have my different, they found distressing tasks, and can certainly take a lot of Parkour. Among other things, I went to the aspect of sensory perception (Parkour view, course deal with closed eyes, touch, hear landings "etc.), explained basic features parkour-specific strength training and warm-up, and explained various philosophical issues (confronting personal fears, Hall vs. Street, Freedom of thought and escape, etc.) in a short package that should bring an insight into our movement form.

I have also made clear that all this can only serve as a small view of the large complex "Parkour" and if there really was to the needs of a teaching project, I am available for advice and guidance available. To this offer I was approached after the event one of the participants and will contact me to Parkour involvement in a project week at their school.
I'm still on it to get more resonance again.


3) Parkour Workshop, K. family


Yesterday (Saturday) I was now back in the Media Park, to first pursue my normal training. After much consideration and the "not-the-touch bottom" at a Aufzughäusschen modified the present training person and I accept the existing route through blind, single-arm variations, and were thus forced always new techniques (eg, wedging of the body between obstacle and ceiling, One-arm compensate for hand over hand, feeling the surface, exhausting the flexibility to lack of space to develop, etc.) around the constant Parkour immaginären to exist in emergency situations. Very sexy workout concept that I will certainly continue to pursue.

But the real main event of the day I was. In order to explain more precisely publish I am here just a short excerpt of the e-mail traffic:
Hi Dirk Meyer,



sometime in summer 2007, I met you once briefly. You are running with a few people on the Media Park and I was sitting on the edge, to keep an eye on my 11 year old son Thor, the mittrainierte for you. This passion for the course is survived him, and he stoned two, three friends from our village (Erftstadt-Lechenich) or we go in good weather even times to the Media Park



Since then, he wishes for a day with Parcour + instructor for himself and his friends. In 2007, I did not want to organize somehow. It failed tete then to the usual technical concerns of the schools (private use of a hall) and also the price of the coach (someone from the sports college)


Thorsten's father, his son gave them for themselves, and his friends, a 3-hour Parkour workshop in Media Park, with me as a coach. Tony's parents brought more food with in the form of cakes and various drinks, and I asked the 8 year olds 12-14 in the three hours, so anyone could take at the end of a beautiful muscle soreness the next day. Good idea of the Father, Thorsten has definitely got through the day, and the other guys came at their expense.
was the total Event a great success for all involved (eingschlossen me because the guys were amazingly talented). I have not think anyone can claim to be someone else paid for his birthday to be, or!?


Parkour standard so everything is in balance, my own training is not too short, and my coach grades I through coaching and media requests of this nature also expand. You learn, after all, never stop!

In four weeks before Christmas!

6 Week Old Baby Should Be

Cologne Rundschau

catching movement

By Tim Atteberry, 16:11:08, 21:33
The city is their training ground: In "Le Parkour" is about a predetermined path as possible to cope in a direct line. Obstacles that lie on the line to be overcome. In Cologne, the sports scene is quite active.

noticeable from afar on strollers in the Media Park on Saturday an unusual group: young women and men pull in casual sports clothes are high on wall ledges, jumping over a railing or balance on small concrete piers. This looks at first glance a little strange, but it has a very serious background, they train for the sport "Le Parkour".

A woman who passes on the bike riding, and would like to know what makes the group really. "We see this very often," said Dirk Meyer. The 19-year-old is four years in the Parkour scene active in Cologne and the head of the movement. "Unfortunately, many people deal with prejudice, because they think that we are destroying something."

But that's what the "traceurs" not. On the contrary, they themselves have to contend with the legacy of other groups. Meyer has discovered on the floor broken glass and clears out for splinter splinter away so no one injured. He focuses, closes his eyes, she proposes to return, date of jump points and is the first of only Movement in thought after. "Parkour is a mental thing, it's about to face a challenge," he explains, takes a short run, jump over a wall edge, his body stretches while in the length. landed on the ground, it rolls off.

brushing your teeth on only one leg

particularly to outsiders, such movements seem attractive. "This gets Parkour the wrong image of being a spectacular sport, and it is in reality only an efficient move." Familiar with this situation, Andreas binding forest which is only seven months there. "Instinctively, we compare with the others and is careless," know the 19-year-old. On two occasions he had been injured in jumps, because he was not ready for it.

Because Parkour is not organized in associations, there is also no regular training schedule. Interested parties can find their way to Parkour over the Internet or a workshop of the "Playstation Art of Movement Tour," at the Meyer participate as a coach: "The workshops are one of the few opportunities to meet centrally, and beginners get there, a professionally guided insight. "

Lisa Lindenthal is also already out and finds its way through the concrete landscape itself. "You get with the times a look of what you make out can, "says the 19-year-old, one of the few women in the parkour sport and very much regretted. Many girls simply do not have enough patience. "It is progressing step by step. I practice everyday, even when brushing your teeth and stand on one leg, "she says, and leaps easily on the next concrete bollards.

Meagan Good Short Hair In The Game

Kurnacherfolg, Berlin and university life

now even a little more detail.

I am now back in five days of my cure, and I look towards my new life. The skin over the course of the treatment of various stages, and relapses into a condition improved, which is much more tolerable than my arrival state. However, I am now slowly, as the skin deteriorates. But this happens only very slowly, and I'm still curious how it will develop.

What I took away:
- friends. New people I have met and got to know me on other levels than would be possible with old acquaintances. Open to other parties, and sociable to profundity. 'm Pretty intensive talks about serious issues out and found people can trust me.

- weight. I have gained 4-5 pounds, because it is there, bombarded by food and I like to eat and a lot. I can see now the way I move, such as clothing and sitting. The first takes a little work.

- elements. I have been swimming quite a lot of myself in the hospital's own swimming pool, and I have watched other in how they swam. I found it fascinating to see once again how adaptive is the man, and that he is even in the water, can contribute to the underlying body control and technique, and almost effortlessly move. I've never been a good swimmer, had sometimes even terrified of water, I could slow down a little bit.

- attention. I notice often when I Scrape me, and trying, more or less successfully, the intensity, and reduce the frequency. I have watched many fellow patients, and can hear them scratching some restraint, which has hurt me in the soul. I seem to have to exercise more self-control to me than some others suffering from atopic dermatitis. The same applies to knowledge: it was not really informed extensively, and the information given to us, for me were old hats were, but for a variety of other scientific territory.

Most people I've met, left the island in front of me and left me with a mood of melancholy back. I miss not only the people but also the island itself. The carefree, the claim-free, the Serene.

================================================ =================

This Saturday, I visited the "PlayStation the Way" tour stop in Berlin, like every year. I have seen old faces again, to know new people, and spent time at a Kurfreundin that has bothered too warm for me. Many thanks again to you Maria!

I still was struck by a cold, and almost four weeks training and withdrawal Motivation hole, had the training has paid strong tribute, and I Krauch still around so any burden to the aching muscles to avoid. The damn dirty and dusty hall, contributed with their "fine" with my catalyst to drastically constipation, and I was a regular feature in my act is rehearsed as Husttenor. I still have not coughed dust from the lungs, it seems to me.

The workshop was fine, but drastically overcrowded. I have used the days to not only train in Parkour, but also other skills that I now would not run on. For Parkour at the workshop was in my eyes, in my condition, not really suitable. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the weekend.

================================================ =================

The university life! If anything, the Unitod!

I have three and a half weeks to catch up-study materials, and me acclimate slowly. The fact that I have been the 9th (or something?) Class or biology, or chemistry, had in school, does not make the whole thing for me really easily. Although I have already made some contacts, so am not alone in the rain, but to the bone soaked I feel anyway.

I am thrown against the cytoplasm, Porifera, mitosis, gametes and zygotes handle to have received to the topic with microscopes without ever an introduction, go with any buses across published by Bonn to somewhere to lectures, and all this only to end up confused to be, than I was before.

Uniproblem My big moment: I do not know what I know.

Many teachers keep their material for "trivial", "basic" or "not worth mentioning, because they have not been treated anyway in high school." I always ask myself, what our teachers are well paid, if not to convey content. If we would know all that, would we pay only 500 € Tuition fees per semester to us in a "40 hours workload week to toil, right? ;)

Today I had to, for example, a drawing of a section of the Journal "Rhoeo Discolor" in various stages of plasmolysis, and the preparation deplasmolysis, and the normal state. I knew neither the plant nor the microscope, there is the construction of a drawing in the university context, nor the individual components of a plant cell. In short, I was in a fix right, I've yet somehow cheated by that, and am now aware that there is still much catching up to do more than initially assumed.

Here's a quick punch to the nose at all the "In the first three weeks to do nothing anyway" people;).

Somehow I'll fight through.

To-Do List leafing.
