Parkour update

In Novem­ber 2007 I pos­ted an art­icle about the excit­ing pur­suit of parkour in Wel­ling­ton, and it’s been one of our most endur­ingly pop­u­lar art­icles, gen­er­at­ing a steady stream of traffic and com­ments.

In the mean­time, the New Zea­l­and Parkour Asso­ci­ation has been estab­lished. They have a strong pres­ence in Wel­ling­ton and recently got in touch to update us about their activ­it­ies – includ­ing classes!

Pos­sibly in your travels about Wel­ling­ton you’ve come across people jump­ing or exer­cising on the street, espe­cially around the water­front area? Those visu­ally amaz­ing jumps would prob­ably be parkour.

In NZ the New Zea­l­and Parkour Asso­ci­ation has recently been formed as an incor­por­ated soci­ety devoted to devel­op­ing and teach­ing parkour in NZ.

Here’s the link to their Wel­ling­ton page, where you can learn more about them, and the classes.

PS. Post your best parkour am-cam you­tube links in the com­ments!
