Monday, 12 May 2008

Pete, Adam and Ozzi from Urban Current met with The Honolulu Magazine on April 30th for a photo shoot that is to be featuring on the outdoors activities section of the magazine, unfortunately Jason couldn't join due to a busy schedule. The magazine contacted Ozzi after the director from the Mikey D's commercial mentioned Urban Current's name. They specifically requested to meet with the guys from UCC for a photo shoot.

 It was a fun morning full or action and "modeling" by Ozzi whom due to his ankle injury just sat/stood around as the face of the clan Cool while Pete and Adam worked their butts off.

The article will be featuring on the Jun edition of the magazine so make sure you subscribe to get it.

Adam and I

    On the past Monday, April 14th, Adam McClellan and Ozzi Quintero were accepted to film a TV spot on the show "Night Time". Unfortunately, they only wanted two guests, so Pete and other members did not get the chance to appear, but if you listen carefully to the 'applause', you might hear their screams of agony at not becoming celebrities. Or maybe that's just Ozzi and his sprained ankle, backstage, limping about.

Parkour Classes at CrossFit Oahu
Written by Ozzi   
Sunday, 23 March 2008

Bryant (CrossFit coach) and I have been talking about getting some classes started at CrossFit Oahu. This is in the process of being organized, but it is in the making and will happen. This will be the only place in the island where anyone would be able to participate in a program designed to teach and condition anyone who is ready to start a new journey with Parkour, for whatever goal they decide to achieve. I will keep you posted on when the classes will start.

 In the mean time, enjoy this training video of me in the CrossFit facilities.

Stay tuned as we will be placing a direct link to the video to share what these two guys were up to today.

Updates
Written by Ozzi   
Tuesday, 04 March 2008
It seems HIpk has been slow and with nothing new at all the last couple of weeks. Well maybe on the front page seems that way but HIpk is now been improved, adding and organizing the tutorials section, creating the PK Urban Gym and keeping it busy with more conditioning videos, articles and coming soon the drills section, where we will be featuring a break down a variety of PK related exercises you can add to your existing routine.

 HIpk is always looking to improve the site in order to being able to keep the Hawaiian PK community informed and up to date with event and or articles that may be beneficial for your training or mind set in general.

 If you have any suggestions please visit out forum and let us know of the great ideas you may have in mind.

One Spot, an Infinity of Possibilities
Written by Ozzi   
Sunday, 24 February 2008

I once in a while like to dedicate all my training session time to one particular spot, 2 to 3 hours at the same spot. Usually within 30 to 45 minutes your mind will run out of ideas, or so you think, especially if it is your first time at that particular spot. But as you keep on moving you will start seeing more and more options and ways of moving. Once you get "In The Zone", the point where you just move, you don't think what move/technique you are going to do next, you just adapt your body to what is to come on your path.

A True Tracuer by Crosion (APK)
Written by HIPK   
Sunday, 24 February 2008
In my eyes:

A true tracuer is one who seeks perfection in both the physical and mental aspects of survival.  On the physical side, a true tracuer must tone his muscles and learn to move through his environment with a seemingly effortless grace.  A tracuer seeks for flow, and for a perfect understanding of their own bodies; always knowing their limits and striving to increase their ability.  A true tracuer seeks flexibility, dexterity, and self-awareness that can only be achieved through intensive and sometimes brutal training.

Drilling Our Weaknesses

Drilling Our Weaknesses.

How many times have you skipped/ignored a exercise or not tried your best just because you really dislike it, or you just don't think you can get it? At the beginning of a traceur's journey it will happen at least a few times. Most of us have at least one exercise we really dislike, therefore we avoid performing it, whether it is running, or doing pull ups. So ask yourself which exercises you really dislike performing, and then how is that affecting your over-all performance.  I bet you can think of a few. Most of us think that if we just continue to try the move/technique while at our weekly PK run/session that it will come with time. Well, although the repetition of the technique does help, it will take a lot longer than it would if we just focused on drilling those exercises which we think are our weakest link. It will also help to prevent future bad habits or even injuries.

Training New Movements
Written by Btay   
Friday, 15 February 2008
Someone asked "How do you train new movements?". This is based on someone else's answer a few months back...

I like to break a new movement into different parts, and get each part comfortable before I try to put it all together. If I feel comfortable - my technique is good, I'm feeling strong, and I'm mentally up, I move on to the next step. If not, I either try the technique again, or I move on to something else. If I feel pain, I back off immediately.

Moving Through Fear

Moving Through Fear

By Dan Edwardes

It is the little fears that quietly steal our lives. The grand concerns – death, loss, the meaning of existence… these things, by and large, we can and do ignore for most of our days. Philosophers and theologians may quibble and fret over the details of such imponderables, but most of us have not the time, or lack the inclination, or perhaps are just fortunate not to be burdened by too much curiosity. And many fears are rational, of course, and can be friends to our lives; the fear that heightens our awareness in a dark part of town, for example, or the fear of falling that we suddenly develop when standing too near a cliff’s edge on a windy day.

Tony wants our help!
Written by Btay   
Monday, 11 February 2008

Tony Hardman wants our help redesigning the Xuvia concept shoe! Tony emailed me:

"This feedback is awesome! It is inspiring me to redesign this concept. I think I will approach it differently and do it as Nike though. If you have any insights about Parkour (I am assuming you practice parkour?) or can direct me to some good english sources that would be awesome. Obviously I have seen parkour.com and some of the obvious ones... ...Thanks a lot man!"

So, if you can do a thorough analysis of your current shoes strengths, weaknesses, what you'd like to see,  what you don't want to see... that would help Tony design a better parkour shoe.

Gauntlet Conditioning
Written by Ozzi

Gauntlet Conditioning

Parkour is a demanding activity that requires a lot of conditioning and discipline in order to withstand the great impacts and forces that are accumulated from training. Most traceurs don't realize the importance of proper training and conditioning that is needed to preserve the body and prolong the Parkour lifestyle.

Although there are several ways to prepare your body, I personally found gauntlets to be the most effective and fun way to properly achieve the physical conditioning needed for a great and lasting performance. Not only do gauntlets allow you to prepare and condition your body but also allow you to use your creativity to design your own course by using rails, walls, trees or even changes of level on the ground.

II Parkour Seminar in Oahu
Written by HIPK   
Tuesday, 12 February 2008

A great success, this last Sunday we doubled the amount of people of last years seminar, 30 talented and excited guys and gal ready to train showed up during the seminar that took effect yesterday (Feb 10th) at the Halawa District Park, from beginner to intermediate, from breakdancers, trickers and martial artists to just the regular fun minded guys. They were all eager to learn and share their knowledge with each other. We started with an all body stretch lead by Adam, followed by the famous Yamakasi Time Conditioning Training by Ozzi. After that the whole HIpk team dedicated to go over all of the fundamentals of Parkour in order to get everyone ready for what would be the best part of the day, a mini jam across the street from the park.

We had people from Crossfit  who were exited to put their physical abilites to work in the demanding art of Parkour and also Phitenusa.com who is looking to sponsor HIpk in order to help promote the raise of Parkour in the island as well as their great fitness products.

This won't be the last of our seminars. HIpk and the guys from Urban Current are planning to do at least another one toward the last semester of the year. Next project in mind is to organize the First State Wide Parkour Jam. Stay tuned for those events.

Mikey D's Shooting
Written by Ozzi   
Monday, 11 February 2008

    If 11 hours of shooting sounds tiring to you, well let me tell you, they are. I had a great time during the McDonald's shooting that took effect in Downtown on Feb 1st. I was treated like a star. They all made me feel very comfortable, were very helpful and also make me work my butt off, but it just felt like another intense training session, very good experience for the future, I had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again.

     We went to several location in Downtown for the Parkour shoots then moved on to the offices where Jason joined us for the acting part which was really one of the funnest moment, having to come with this crazy exiting characters.

     I want to thank all the staff who I got to with with, Cathy the producer who made sure I was comfortable performing what i was being asked to do, Mericia the make up artist who was there to wipe every drop of sweat and took care of me when the jumping around was making me look like a crazy monkey and Bred the director who really gave me a lot of leeway to give ideas for the PK shoot. They were all a great team to work with.

     Hopefully this will be only the first step to the rest of the journey that is to come. The commercial will hopefully air within the next month or so. So stay tuned. Pictures soon.

There include using the right shoe, building in rest days, strength training, warm up and down and so on.  Other areas to focus on are the health and safety aspects involved particularly in activities like Parkour/Freerun.
