Okay everyone I apologize for the silence there. So Tuesday 8:00 to 9:30pm ages 16 and up I want to start next tuesday May 8th. New Students price is $15 per class Students that have been enrolled at ASU or come to the adult Open Gym on Thurdays is $10 per class. We will be covering basics every day for warm up and then based on individual level you will all be getting different drills to help with your ability to learn new skills. I am not just going to spot you all the time and throw you around I will be helping you to learn the skill with as little spot as possible. This is a continuous class until the fall class starts up again at ASU. Any questions? I have to top the class off at 20 participants by the way. 9321 North 94th Street Scottsdale, AZ 85258  I may add a sunday evening class if enough students want it.   
 
This is what the gym looks like if you have never seen it

new ideas and new paths

My wrist is sprained... big deal the Gods were so kind to bless me with a spair.

Due to the wrist sprain I have had to modify most of my break dance sets for the shoot I am doing.  If the wrist heals in time I may do my original sets, but it could be anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks for that.  Considering I have not given myself a deadline to finish this video I guess it all depends on how anxious I get once I have filmed everything I can without the use of the wrist. 

I am suprising myself recently both in and out of the gym.  With my new way of training for stunts it seems to have made me very comfortable and understanding of my boundaries.  It also has allowed me to push my previous boundaries over the edge of the cliff.  I don't consider what I'm doing to be elite or anything, but I definitely feel much more content with myself then I have in a while.  I can land something in the gym only a couple of times and then I emediately know if I am capable of doing it outside or not.  

A lot of recent developments. 

Curriculum

I finished writing out the end result of the curriculum so students can assess there current skills sets in comparison to what I believe to be skills that are neccessary to be an successful movement artist.  It needs to be accompanied by a video of sometype to explain the layout and that is the only reason I have not sent it out yet.  Also there is no progression order for the skills on the charts.  The Curriculum is more like a check off chart to see where you stand it is not there so much to teach you everything, that is what I am there for.  It is far from complete but it will be closer in the coming months.  No rush for quality.

More available classes

I have been meeting and discussing with certain individuals to help expand the venues where parkour can be practiced in a gym specifically designed and catered to the Movement Artist. 

More instructors

it is my intent to teach a dedicated group of instructors over summer to have more available due to the demands of good quality instructors.


My goals

I am going to attempt to go viral with some well developed music videos using dance, parkour, and and acro.  If you know any good musicians that wouldn't mind me using their music for such a video please send them my way. 

Right now

just took a few days off, been icing my wrist, and being creative with one armed pressing movements to see what i can accomplish.

That's all for now.

time to shoot

If you have been keeping track of my youtube channel www.youtube.com/movementconnections then you will have noticed that I have been getting cleaner at the skills I had originally set out to do. 

The past three months of dedicated training have brought me to this final week where I will start to shoot the footage for my next big video.

It's kind of funny because improvement in certain areas has ultimately helped me in other areas.  So because I have been working my back full twists I also have gotten better at my front full twists.  Also because of all the kicking moves I have developed stronger hip flexors and hamstrings so my aerial moves have become more powerful as well.

Not much to report just letting everything flow out for this next video.

The over all curriculum has gone through the first proofreading and I just finished the 12 week curriculum timeline.  Never a waisted moment here.

Going to really make my dreams come true, hell they already are.

Much love and Respect to everyone

Live, Love, Inspire
