Hey Y'all!

What's up everyone, yeah i'm still alive, i know it's been a while since i contributed to our blog. Actually i should be in bed recovering from last week, it was a tough week, but it was worth every second. Oli from Basel came to visit us, big up to him for making it happen. Unfortunately Steve couldn't come due to an injury, hopefully he'll be better soon. Oli has a great teacher in Steve and you can tell he learnt from someone who knows when you watch him do parkour. He is damn good. It was a great week, we were lucky with the weather. We trained with him each of the 6 days he was here. It was once again a great experience, i did learn a few things from him regarding mental and physical training, i think we all did. Other than that he's a really cool dude, was lots of fun training with him, it was also lots of fun chilling with him. Oli, we hope to see you in munich again soon, and yeah we'll definitely be coming to basel too and next time drag Steve along with you. Take care man. And to all you out there, keep training hard and stay safe.

Mike

Get in touch

Whoa...I created an email account for ya folks as you can see on the right hand side.
So, feel free to write mails or whatever.
If you´re interested in training with us or just having a drink with us...yeah.

More to say? Hm...A lot of things happened. But I will tell you...someday...in the future...maybe...

yeah I was out for training the last days with Mike and Oli: it was just
GREAT, WICKED, AWESOME!!!!!
It's really fun with Oli, he is damn good!!!
and it's great fun with my darling Mike too of course :))
during the last 3 days I have really improved alot - I have managed to eliminate some barrier in my head. It's a real good feeling, 'cause now I do jumps I didn't dare doing before!!!
I'm looking forward to training with Oli today again AND finally with Binh again.
For in fact he's the one who I started training with AND he's the one who motivates me most.

Don't quit, do it.

Ok...erm...I went to the doc today as about 2 and half weeks ago I felt on my neck during my backflip training in the gym.
Since it still hurts a bit and I was worried that sth. really bad could have happened for I had a problem with my neck in past before (somehow I passed out and felt on the floor in my friend´s bathroom. Got a head laceration and a whiplash injury).
So, my doc wanted to x-ray me. Guess what he found. A fracture of one of my cervical. I mean...a fucking fracture! That thing was miles away from where it should be! Namley on my fucking neck! But the fracture was not the result of my backflip action but of my unconsciousness in the past. An operation would have been necessary to fix everything. That didn´t happen.
He told me that an armee of guardian angels are protecting me cause if I had felt more on the right or on the left side of my neck I would be paraplegic. SHOCK, man...what the fuck am I doing? Hell no...
The first two hours I was paralyzed. I was thinking, what if...what if...what if...
But now I am just so happy that everything´s allright, more or less. That event changed my view on certain things. Especially on parkour. When you´re doing a jump or whatever, focus, concentration...if you feel it, do it.
Don´t fucking mess around. Do it. Or leave it alone. But if you´re going to do it, do it like your life depends on it. And in certain ways...it really does. Fuck dudes...
For me, I really want to go out and train. Do things I never had the trust to do. You´re asking why?
Because I am still breathing.
Because I am still able to walk, to run.
Because I am.

Peace.

John's Impressions


Yeah what a great weekend!!!
Kai, I love u even though you're a fat pig :D
What I learned most during these days, were the philosophies and the way of thinking from all the traceurs there.
*It was interesting to talk to Steve and to Oli about their way of training.
*It was great meeting Dino and Boris again.
*The guy taking the pictures (unfortunately I forgot his name) was awesome: he knew what he was doing and the pics I saw where great. He was a very hearty, enthousiastic and patient person - really cool!
All in all it was fuckin' fantastic and we MUST repeat it!!!


John

Don't quit! Do it!

Binh's Review

Oh dude, what a weekend.
First, thanks to all of you for this fucking great weekend. Steven, for his appartment and his unbelievably cold room for one night, Olli for his support during the training and the Stuttgart boys for fun and stuff, especially Dino for helping me with my neck. Man, you know how to torture me!
And of course for my guys for just being there, Mike and Johnny.
The shooting was great. Asics sponsored the shooting, that´s why we got shoes, trousers, sweatshirts etc. Though it was raining and the shooting was done under a bridge and in a parking garage, it was inspiring and amazing to watch the experienced traceurs train.
Besides the shooting and the training, it was great to talk with all of them about parkour and the philosophy behind it. To hear the different opinions and views on parkour was very interesting.
Pics and a video will be posted as soon as possible about the weekend. Patience, my friends.
Hopefully, you guys are going to visit us in munich.
Or we´re going to visit you. It doesn´t matter. The main thing is that we´re going to repeat that weekend all together.

Train hard.

Introducing Binh


Hey,

what to say? I´m Binh, 23 years of age and that´s it.
And yeah, I´m a proud member of Circle.
For me, Circle is about friendship, loyalty and parkour.
Parkour is an art. A way to to exceed your limits, existing in your own minds.
Creativity.
Strength.
But most of all, it changes your way of thinking. Your way of moving. Everything.
It´s not about jumping over the greatest gaps or off the highest buildings, it´s about your mind, telling you:
"Don´t do it...."
And your heart replies:
"There are no boundaries. Only in my head, not in my heart and soul."


big up my friends.

Introducing Mike


What's up everyone, my name is Mike, i'm 23 and proud to be a part of circle, that's my family. I started with parkour 5 months ago. At first i just thought it was cool and good exercise, now it's a part of my life. Everywhere i look i see parkour. Parkour not only challenges you physically but also mentally, you get to know your body better. Pakour means freedom to me, doin parkour makes me smile. The members of circle are connected through the passion for parkour. Alright that's enough about me for now, later.

Introducing John



Hi everyone,
my name is John, age 23 and yes, I'm a proud member of "Circle".

First of all "Circle" is a group of really, really good and relyable friends.
These friends meet as often as possible, to live their passion - parkour.

What is parkour to me? - It is a way of thinking, a way of understanding, a way of moving, simply a way of living.

Try it once and you'll understand.



greetings


John

Dont quit! Do it!

On the line


Yeah.
We made it. Finally we´re online. Available for everyone.
So...what is this blog about?
Well....about parkour. About Circle and Parkour. You may think..."what the hell is parkour?"
Mates, just google it.
"And what is Circle?"

We´re Circle. A group of young and handsome guys that are training and living the philosophy of parkour.

So. Have fun. Enjoy.

Big Up.
