China Parkour Scenes

I luckily have been one of very few westerners to have experienced Chinese Parkour groups first hand. It has been an incredible experience, and I've made friends for life here from it. I had the opportunity to train in 3 different cities (Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan), and hopefully next time I can meet the Beijing group. It's kinda like a look into the past, seeing these groups... but with a more "big picture" train of thought than we had back in the beginnings of our groups.

Training with groups from other regions, may they be nation-wide or international, is an experience that everyone should have. Even if it's just going out to a new city, you will always learn at least something from those new people and make great friends in the process.

I have had an amazing time this trip, and I'll be going home next month. Gotta get some more training out before then.
