This Guy is Amazing!

Every now and then you see someone move in a such a way that it makes you question the potential of human movements and what is possible. Without a doubt Demian Walters (the guy in the video) is such a person! The things he can do just flat out amazes me........watch the video and let me know what you think.

parkour,
especially at that level is beyond amazing. it's surreal, otherwordly.
ANd, I swear this is true, I used to DREAM about being able to do things like that when I was a gymnast and didn't think it was possible.
I only wish they had been doing that when I was young. Crazy cool. Love it.

Mark, I agree.....I too have dreamed about doing stuff like that....even if I could do 5% of what he does it would be an achievement to say the least!

Like I said on the forum, listenting to you speak is always inspirational and beyond informative. You have forgotten more info on strength and conditioning than most people know.

Great seeing you and Tracy in San Diego last weekend.....wish we could do it more often :)

Franz,

I'm a big fan of yours (and Jordan V's). Here is a video of early Parkour derived from Herbert's Methode Naturelle (he was a fitness guru who trained French soldiers before WW I). Anyhow, many of the functional strength philosophies of Parkour, RKC, MovNat, overlap. Which is a good thing.
