Just started practicing Parkour recently though always enjoyed it. After my body gets used to it I'll free run alot more. Right now I just need to get into the motion and really kick off.
MaryLiz Bender aka "Brute Force"
I've been interested in Parkour for a while now, but only started practicing very recently. I haven't been able to train as regularly as I'd like, due to an old shoulder injury that I'm trying to mend up.
But, a few months ago, I asked Todd (aka "Biz) to help me train for Parkour. Yo Gravity and basilUP! joined us, too. After a couple sessions, we decided to make our training sessions public, so anyone could join. Seems like new people show up every week!
Aside from Parkour, I spend my time designing and developing web templates for CoffeeCup Software, writing and recording music, and traveling.
Jeremy Petruska aka "Sphinx"
Expect to take only 5% of what I say seriously, maybe even less. 0% if I have a serious expression on.
Prior to parkour I practiced martial arts (Kung Fu and Aikido ) followed by an extensive bit of time sitting in front of a computer.
I like to travel so my 2+ years of parkour have seen a couple of periods of disrupted practice as I found myself roaming the middle east and India.
I graduated from UofL in early 2010 with a degree in political science and sociology. Now I am pursuing a master's degree in public health at Boston University.
Currently training in Boston... when I have the time.

I didn't know how to start getting in to it - i also had some gymnastics, and skateboarding growing up but didn't have any one to really get in to PK with and teach me. Soo I did a little here and there but really got in to it when i got back in KY Jan 08.

These past many months have been great and I've met a lot of really awesome people. I hope to see Louisville Parkour continue to grow and improve.
I am also an artist and make work about climbing trees. You can read my Daily Climb blog at http://dailyclimb.livejournal.com/ I have been climbing a tree everyday since April of 2007 and writing and taking pictures of each experience.

I can climb trees and do a little bit of building climbing, but the most I've done is canyon climbing--nothing hard core like PK.
I'm really hoping that someone more experienced can show me a few tricks on how to get started and that eventually I can pursue it on my own.

I'm a newbie to PK. My friend Mark and I started about the same time, we pretty much train on our own. I work during pretty much every regular LPK meet, so I'm really just a member in spirit, but I'll try and swing by on the occasional Sunday.
I'm on Facebook and Myspace and all of that. I'm a comedy writer of pretty much every format. I'm a video game collector and reviewer (bran@gamelemon.com). I'm an actor and stand-up comedian, when I have time. On very rare occasions I'm an animator. I wear a tiny harmonica around my neck. I have an arsenal of Nerf weapons that would make Ratchet and Clank drop their jaws. Once I built a scale replica of the Wright Brothers' plane out of K'Nex. Sometimes I look like Jesus, other times like Clark Kent. Right now I'm wearing toe socks. I used to skateboard, I play the drums, and yesterday I had seseme chicken and pork-fried rice for dinner. I think that about sums me up.

So, I've been interested in PK for quite a while.

Besides, how awesome is it to be able to see the landscape as a hyperactive kid again?

evan goad aka ""
i'm 29 with a life-long fitness background from many areas. Before parkour my training/workouts included, road cycling, mountain biking, climbing, running, court and sand volleyball, weightlifting, football (high school), and futbol or soccer (college.)
After discovering parkour, i abandoned all but my mountain bike. Mainly to use as transportation between the widely spaced training areas in my hometown of Bowling Green, Ky.
I have adopted the entire parkour lifestyle over the last three months and train obsessively. Alone.... Unfortunately. I hate living in Bowling Green. I lived in the Ville for 5 months at the beginning of this year and sadly found out about this group once I had moved back home.
I just want people to train with. I am so tired of training alone and need people around to push me and if need be, call the ambulance if i get pushed too far. Ha!
I'm 6'2", 185. Fairly oversized for this sport but i've put in the work and have a full understanding of the basic lexicon of parkour movement.
Cat leaps/hangs, kong jumps/leaps, and gap clearing are my specialties.
I love to teach parkour and i love to learn parkour. I'm very humble and get along with everybody i meet and i could talk/train parkour all day every day and my life would be complete.
I focus heavily on proper form and movement and swear by the often very quick and substatintial results gained from following the discipline's tutorials to the tee.
I am always down to jam, will travel nearly anywhere to train, and welcome any and everything parkour.

Matthew Damos (j.r.) aka "red panda"
Love parkour and running in general. I've been doing it for a few years now, it's awesome. I'm in a band, at the moment I play bass and sing, but I also play guitar and drums. You probably won't see me at a meet anytime soon because I'm too cheap to drive from E-town to Louisville anytime soon, but you might see me somewhere around the e-town/radcliff area acting stupid.

mikey madison aka "cave*man"
I am a beginner at this stuff. I was introduced to freerunning by my friend James. But yeah this stuff looks fun. And I like to go to the extreme when it comes to fun. I run woods all the time. Jump cliffs. I am still trying to regain my extreme back because I quit for a few months because of back problems. But other than that, I am up for the extreme costs of this sport.
Josiah Nelson aka "Monkey-Boy"
Me and my friend Mikey just started doing this as an actual sport. We do a lot of woods running, (which is just Free Running in the woods) and we love to go to the extreme. I am 15 and I love Free Running.

logan forshee aka "rifleman"
i am 14 years old I live in Jefferson-town, Kentucky. I started parkour about 6 months ago and i am ok, but I could use some professional knowledge to teach me some things i don't quite know how to do. I know the basics like: good landings (need help on learning rolling), tic-tacs, precisions, and vaults (lazy vault and quick vaults but i don't know how to do kong vaults or specialty moves like that). my nickname if rifleman partially because I am quick of the start and can hit things hard with out hesitation and partially because I can shoot very well but that doesn't matter now does it. Anyway It would be an honor to train with you guys and learn as much as I can from the professionals at Louisville Parkour Group.

I moved to Louisville maybe three years ago. I learned about parkour from various different sources; some of my friends were into it, I had done some independent research, and, of course, I had seen several of the new wave movies that jumped onto the big-screen parkour trend. Quite frankly, I thought this would be an excellent way to get into shape, to learn how to move freely in any environment, and to meet some cool people. I know that people don't become experts at anything overnight, especially something with this much depth, and I am willing to do all the hard work it takes.

Hi, I'm Nick, I'm 13 and i watched quite a few videos on Parkour and wanted to learn it.
I thought the best way to learn was to join a group. I'm usually just messing around at the computer with basic program making and command prompt stuff, so I'm easy to contact, you can find me on Facebook too. Ive never tried Parkour and if one of you all could teach me id be very grateful.
