Okay. Apparently we've been getting a few new guys who are interested in joining and learning free run. This blog mainly only updates major events so of I highly recommend you guys to head to our official forum at www.pkmy.tk and register yourself there.

You can then introduce yourself, check out the help section and even post videos or request for assistance on techniques or what not there. What's so important for you to registe there is because we post all our mini jam sessions, impromptu training and conditioning sessions there. And most of the time are held sand organized by different individuals and parties alike.

Bookmark www.pkmy.tk for easier access and do check it up often cuz we update our events there early on. Thanks for reading. Train hard and keep it safe!!

P/s : for the new guys. I recommend you to search for tutorials on basic moves such as the shoulder roll, all the different kinds of vaults, cats, turn vaults, how to land from height if rolling is not possible, etc.

If you wanna learn the more advanced tricks I suggest you find a local gym if there are any available. I have to say that gymnastics gyms are really hard to find in Malaysia. So a good alternative is to find some mattresses and place it somewhere preferably in an open field to practice your flips.

Flips can be very dangerous if not performed correctly. Broken bones are common. So take the necessary precautions before attempting any kind of flip. Do it without the matress and spotter ONLY when you've got the trick down good and are confident that you can pull it off consistently. Listen to your body at all times. :) happy training!!

Navratna Oil TVC

2009-05-18T15:42:00.001+08:00

Hey guys, Prince from planet films called me and claimed that the commercial I uploaded is not aired yet. Tho I've seen some of the exact same commercial on youtube only the indian version. So I've removed the commercial temporarily and will be available back when it's aired. And that's the part I do not know when it'll be aired.

Navratna Oil feat. Abudi (Mahesh Babu's double)

2009-05-12T02:18:00.000+08:00

You guys can actually see me if you watch the video and play it frame by frame at 0:15 and 0:16. Enjoy the TVC of Navratna Oil with Mahesh Babu as the lead actor. I uploaded the HD version in hoping that while playing the normal quality, it won't fuck up that bad. Owh for those who are still wondering, this commercial is not on local TV, this is an indian TVC, so the commercial was aired in India only.

and some related of this commercial video I found on youtube:

Weekly Session : Week 5

2009-05-11T10:35:00.000+08:00

Alrity since the previous Putrajaya session we only managed to cover half of the spots and didn't really reach the "forbidden park" yet. So we're gonna continue from there again this weekend. :D So the details are the same, I just copy pasted from the previous post. :P Alrity, see u guys again soon!!

Location : Putrajaya Mosque
Date : 16th May 2009
Time : 4.30PM

We'll gather at the Putrajaya Mosque so that it'd be easier for newcomers to find the place. Putrajaya can be a bit confusing for the uninitiated. :) So the plan will be as follows :-

- gather at the Putrajaya mosque by 4.30. We'll give leeway to around 5pm till we start heading out to the actual location. For the latecomers and who are not familiar with the place, you can contact me at 013-2271755(Amir) and I'll lead you there.

- Actual location is nicknamed "The Forbidden Park" due to the fact that nobody ever goes there except the cleaners and us. Located right under and next to one of Putrajaya's many bridges. The location has lots of greens, so some locations might be a bit hard to play around with but nothing too troublesome. Massive walls are one of the highlights of this place. There are walls of various heights and the surface of these walls are pretty grippy. :D And of course there's a huge grassy area in the middle for tricking sessions.

- The park is quite big, so we'll try to explore most of it. You won't be disappointed. :) As always, newcomers are invited to join in and train with us. Even those who just wanna come and watch or anything. Everyone's invited.

as an ending note. make sure you're well rested for the jam to enjoy it to the fullest. Take the rest of the week off and chill till the coming jam :D After all, overt-raining is not good for you.

Shaun Wood is coming to Malaysia!

2009-04-14T01:25:00.001+08:00

Shaun Wood and three of his friends (Ish , Wesino , Micheal) are coming to Malaysia. They are from Sydney Parkour community. Their schedule is pretty tight and their coming down to go to the forests. Anyway, we plan to meet them on the 25th. So if anyone is free, please do join. More infos will be updated on the forum and here.

Their recent video:

Go to http://www.youtube.com/hornbog or just search Sydney Parkour.

So let's discuss this matter upfront to avoid any confusions and problems. Let's hope this time we get at least their mobile phone number so we can easily contact them. There's maybe a typo by Shaun in the forum but it's still not confirmed since in the topic description it says 26th while when he posts he said 25th. So I'mma ask him for reconfirmation!

Pish out! ;)

I'll explain a bit what this is about. It's basically a video to show where parkour can be applied to daily life situations. The prizes aren't much, but it's a good platform to get noticed in the international arena. :) So support our local PK/FR scene.

The Urban Playground

Tags: 3RunMy | Parkour
Written by Grace Chin
Tuesday, 31 March 2009 14:31

There are many obstacles designed to reinforce a system of order in our urban landscape, such as lampposts, poles, benches, walls, steps and stairs, for example. When traversing through a jogging path in a park or walking to the neighbourhood grocery store, we are more likely to walk around these obstacles or avoid them entirely due to conventional conditioning.

Parkour, which is defined as personal mobility through an environment with optimum efficiency and speed, can be interpreted as a rebellion against that order. Instead of going down a flight of stairs from a building, one can use a combination of natural movements, such as jumping, running, climbing and crawling, to get through the terrain, as if it were an obstacle course.

David Belle, a French gymnast and martial artist, founded this art of movement in the mid-1990s. He developed this art to focus on practising efficient movements to develop one’s body and mind to be able to overcome obstacles in an emergency. This art has grown from one that is purely functional and practical into several forms, such as free running, which combines the movement with an element of stylistic performance.

“It can be considered a sport, but some people see it as an art form,” says Abudi Alsagoff from 3RunMy, a free running community in Malaysia. “It is a study of how your body works, and expanding your physical capabilities. It can be quite technical, but it is really about freedom, the freedom of movement.”

The 3RunMy community staged a free running demonstration recently for The Edge Financial Daily’s Live It! at one of Putrajaya’s parks. Running is an obvious part of moving, but then there is also jumping, landing, climbing and vaulting. But it’s not always about speed. There is significant effort in a display of aesthetics, even in the simple and natural actions of running, jumping, landing, climbing and vaulting. The point is to make it look graceful, says Abudi.

For Abudi, the discovery of parkour was a blessing for his physique and social skills. He did not excel in conventional sports such as basketball or football in school, and would rather spend time at home in front of a computer. Once introduced to parkour by his neighbour and friends, he found a good reason to jump around, just as he had as a child, “I used to jump a lot on mattresses, climb trees as a kid,” he confesses. It also extended his social circle, especially when interacting with others who shared his interest.

What the community lacks, however, is proper training facilities such as gym mattresses, he laments. Although Malaysia has produced highly trained artistic gymnasts who have performed well in the international competitive arena, these facilities are not available to the public. The community is thus looking for sponsorship opportunities, such as sponsoring training equipment or making existing sports facilities available for artistic gymnastics.

Abudi, like many others who discovered parkour on YouTube, imitated what they could from online videos and practised with friends in neighbourhood parks and fields. “It was like ‘monkey see, monkey do’,” says another member from the free running community, Muhammad Sabree Mohamad Sapian. Actually, understanding the philosophy behind parkour was something that came much later, he adds.

Sabree is considered one of the most experienced practitioners of the group, being exposed to the art of movement since 2002. “You don’t need to understand parkour to understand the concept of overcoming obstacles. Even religion is about overcoming obstacles: overcoming yourself, faults, and doing good deeds. It is a universal thing, I believe. But practising parkour physically; that is a manifestation of the idea,” he says.

Some may call parkour a sport, but for Sabree, it is about fine-tuning the human body and developing instinctual response towards the surrounding environment. He draws comparison to the practice of martial arts, for example. “Martial arts practitioners are prepared to respond to a situation through fighting. Parkour is about flight... such as running away from girls, not running after them,” he laughs. His mates concur.

Adolescent humour is tolerated, but not reckless bravado, according to Sabree. Safety is of utmost importance, and the young practitioners demonstrated caution and emphasis on having proper gear, such as wearing padded shoes with insoles.

Practitioners are encouraged to practise and train regularly to be confident of their own capabilities when practising techniques such as leaping, and to depend on their fitness level and dexterity. Training regularly also increases one’s sensitivity to the surrounding environment, Sabree says. Trusting the “gut feeling” is also highly recommended when embarking on more difficult moves. “If you feel doubtful, then don’t do it,” he cautions.

But much of parkour is about overcoming fear, says Abudi. He cites an example: many are intimidated by back flips, but according to him, it is actually the simplest of all flips, because while in the air, you can spot where your landing will be. “Once you get used to it, you will overcome the mental obstacle. It also makes you more aware of what obstacles there are in life, and how you can overcome them,” he says.

“It becomes like a meditation,” Sabree adds. “When done repetitively, there’s a clarity and silence in your mind... even when in mid-air, you’re focused on just one action, and nothing else.”
