I saw some cool videos the the La Parkour stuff a long time ago and recently decided that it would be pretty fun to try it out. So I took a look around at local gymnastics lessons and all of them -- yes, literally ALL of the ones I found -- are for young girls.

I live right next to Columbia in NYC and my friend who goes there said there is a gymnastics club. PERFECT, I thought, until I looked it up and it's for the children of the students who go there. Seriously. What the hell.

When I moved from Boston a couple of months ago, I looked into it there as well. Same story.

So FINE, world, I won't be a little girl and will give up on my dream of running through the streets and being able to do crazy stuff (unless this is a test, one of those "if he admits he is a little girl, he can be an awesome bad mofo", in that case I fail).

Sign, regretfully,
The 6 year old girl (apparently).

have a seat over there

The gym I went to for 6 years had a special class just for men.

How close do you live to Harrison University?

Is that like the class for the kids at school who had to take the special bus?

OP-- There's a thread over in El D's forum on parkour. Check it out. There's likely someone who posted there that knows of some decent parkour clubs in the northeast.

OP,

[censored] it, if you gotta dance, you gotta dance.

I took some classes in college

Might want to check at a school near you...
