Highlights From Our Parkour Seminar

The Parkour seminar with Rafe Kelley was awesome!!! Rafe Kelley is an exceptional teacher and broke down complicated movements and provided safe challenges for everyone. Personally, I have a pretty big fear when it comes to leaping onto objects, vaulting over them, and anything of that nature. Throughout the seminar, I and others were visibly progressing and picking up new skills to pass over and through obstacles. It is quite exciting when you get your first kong leap over the parallel bars when you didn’t believe you would even try it in the first place.

At the end of the day, this was so much more than just a workout. The movements tested precision and coordination far more than your typical CrossFit workout and is definitely something you should try to incorporate into your program.

A big thanks to Rafe for teaching us the fundamentals and here is a quick video that I think speaks to how much fun and teachable parkour can be. There was plenty of positive mojo in our group and thanks to everyone who came from other CrossFits and parkour enthusiasts for making this such a worthwhile Saturday. Curious to see how sore I will be tomorrow and in a few days…
