Who Knew?

Sam has been setting up obstacle courses and jumping over couches, ottomans, chairs, pillows, cushions ... ever since he could walk!  Who knew it was a sport?  Yes a sport called Parkour!  Several weeks ago the place he has been taking gymnastics at recommended he try their Parkour I class - so we did.  Right after the class they transferred him up to Parkour II ... because, I'm telling you, he was born for this!!  Now they are talking about making a Parkour III class :)
Parkour is a method of movement focused on moving around obstacles with speed and efficiency. Originally developed in France, the main purpose of the discipline is to teach participants how to move through their environment by vaulting, rolling, running, climbing and jumping. 
Now we know!


Here he is in action from today's class:
