PK Office Hours #2

Well, we're now officially episodic! Our first outdoor show didn't go off exactly as planned, but that's okay - as traceurs we perservere in the face of obstacles. Check out both parts and, as a bonus, we also included an HD version of the outdoor segment for you. Enjoy!

PK Office Hours #1

New feature! If you look at the top of the website, you will note that there's a new menu item entitled "PK Office Hours." There you'll find the live channel (at its most exciting when we're actually streaming!) and an episode archive. I'm still tinkering with technical/distribution settings, so please bear with me, but I'm extremely excited to be taking the first steps in what will hopefully be an exciting journey. I have a lot to learn about webcasting but I hope you find the show valuable.

This is actually the second show, but the first one was lost due to some bad technical settings. Sadface. In this episode, we discuss the basics of mental training and take questions on gear, foot & ankle health, and grip strength. Enjoy!

Improv movement session

Yesterday morning I happened by an interesting set of railings tucked behind UNC's hospital. I felt inspired, pulled out the camera, and proceeded to do a little bar improv:

I really wanted to focus on staying relaxed and making everything feel easy and smooth. I kinda succeeded... but my arms and shoulders are a little sore today.

I hope you get some ideas... hopefully this demonstrates that you don't always need a perfectly set idea of exactly how you want a training session or drill to go. Also, sometimes operating in a small space is more challenging than big moves in lots of space. What do you think?
