For the past 16 years, my Gymnastics and Parkour / Freerunning have been such an important part of my life. Starting at the age of 11 in Mens Gymnastics, i quickly became one of the top Gymnasts in my club, representing my country at the age of 16. I was in many National Squad Training sessions which involved all of the top Gymnasts across the UK, to meet up and train with some of the best coaches in the world. Up to the age of 19 i competed in many National Competitions finishing in the top 6 in Britain, and successfully achieving Gold, Silver and Bronze in many of the 6 disciplines. In addition to the National Competitions, i also travelled Europe, competing against some of the best. On one occassion i took the Gold Medal in a competition in Belgium, Dinant. By the age of 23, i began to take my skill outside on the streets were i come accross Parkour or Freerunning. I was able to adapt my gymnastic skill and move freely accross, over and under obstacles. It was then that i made my decision to practise Parkour and Urban Acrobatics. Although i trained outside, i continued to practise particular moves inside my Gymnastic Club, as this |
was an excellent training facility to ensure that any moves i attempted outside, i perfected them in a safe enviroment first. |
