Physical therapy returns you to baseline. Remodeling a joint takes months or years, and almost nobody does it. Sean Hannah talks about doing the movement that hurt you — slow, partial, light — until you can do it fast and heavy again, the three layers pain arrives in, why a knee complaint is often a… more →

Somewhere between sculpture and playground sits the parkour park. Colin MacDonald talks about parks like Rose Park in Boise and Penzer Park in Langley, what landscape architecture school is teaching him, why materials matter, how a good park serves people who never train in it, and the distance between the parks he dreams of and… more →

Partner acrobatics has a friendly start — beginners find themselves in poses that look advanced almost at once — and then it gets harder for a long time. Ben Klein and Sam Sweet talk about the fear of being upside down and off-balance, why a strong solo practice can make the partner work harder rather… more →

A thousand muscle-ups began as an argument about whether it could be done at all. Chris Keighley talks about what happened when the argument became an event — what it takes to keep going once the exhaustion sets in, why the people standing around you decide how far you get, and how to find the… more →

David Wilson explores how internalized ageism shapes our willingness to move, take up space, and try new things—and why letting go of rigid goals and perfectionism opens the door to curiosity, playfulness, and a movement practice that can keep growing at any age. more →

Jam spaces have no walls, no membership, no door to walk through — and that turns out to be its own kind of obstacle. Nina Ballantyne and Craig talk about what makes an open space welcoming or intimidating, why the absence of formal rules leaves newcomers reading unspoken ones, and how a historic Edinburgh church… more →

Iron Gump slows a squat down until it becomes meditation. He calls it meditative strength training: alignment and breath turned into awareness that holds while you move. Barefoot running over rough ground trains the same sensitivity. Slow a lunge enough and it exposes the weakness you have been hiding from yourself for years. more →

Alyssa Serpa flips a common assumption about training. Most practitioners treat playfulness as the off-ramp from serious work — a break before getting back to the real practice. She sees it the other way. “There is a lot of creativity, but also progression, that happens in the space of being playful, goofing around, and not… more →

For Marcus Lincoln, parkour isn’t about the moves you can do or how fast you learned them. “It’s more about the process of learning them.” That same orientation runs through his organizing of Texas Winter Jam, his coaching, and his travels — including the adventure of picking up new languages. The challenge mindset isn’t about… more →

Galo Alfredo Naranjo poses a quiet challenge to the way most people relate to coaches: “How do we mitigate injuries? How do you get in tune with your body?

Christian Anderson’s practice spans parkour, weapons, music, drawing, and blade-smithing — but the through-line is what he sees in children. “You don’t have to tell a kid to play, to jump, to climb. There’s a lot of innate understanding of movement that I think children have.” His coaching is built around remembering that — and… more →
