Parkour communities in the US have grown significantly over the past few years and are increasingly becoming parts of the urban canvas. As parkour continues to grow, we are going to have to define where our roles are within the communities that we live in. Are we just going to be a small business that serves a small sliver of the population and is relatively unknown outside of that? Blake will examine the ways that we can better integrate parkour communities into the fabric of the urban canvas.Blake Evitt was a Division 1 college cross country and track athlete when he first tried a parkour class in France. In 2010 he was awarded a prestigious Thomas J Watson Fellowship to continue his exploration on the sport and its evolution taking him around the world. His amazing experiences influenced him to launch Parkour Generations Americas. Today Blake continues to help manage the Somerville / Boston parkour community, develop ADAPT Qualifications instructors, and is a director for the United States Parkour Association.The 2019 Art of Retreat North America is brought to you by our supporting sponsors: Parkour Visions, Enso Movement, Parkour Generations Americas, Zen Planner, Dynasty Fitness, and Movers Mindset.A special thanks to Craig Constantine and Miguel Chero of Movers Mindset for the production of this episode.

#028 - Blake Evitt | The Parkour Community within the Larger Urban Fabric

Blake Evitt discusses the importance of partnering with your community, creating multigenerational spaces for training, as well as how he does that in his hometown of Boston. He unpacks the influence that traveling had on his training, coaching, and business, as well as his own personal growth. Blake shares his thoughts on a number of subjects, including becoming vegetarian, the ADAPT coaching qualifications, and the United States Parkour Association. --- Why does Movers Mindset exist? The purpose of Movers Mindset is to create and share great conversations with movement enthusiasts. Each conversation feeds my insatiable curiosity, but I share them to turn on a light for someone else, to inspire them, or to give them their next question. In the podcast, I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I'm interested in the nature and philosophy of movement and in exploring themes like independence, self-direction, and human excellence. My interests color each conversation and provide some structure to Movers Mindset. But since I like to take the scenic route, every conversation ends up going somewhere unique. I really appreciate your time and attention, and I don’t take it for granted. --- I need your support I want to share more of these amazing conversations, with amazing people, but I’m limited by the cost of the project. Please support what I’m doing. Every dollar really makes a difference. You can make a one-time contribution via Buy Me a Coffee, https://www.buymeacoffee.com/moversmindset …or make a recurring contribution via Patreon, https://www.patreon.com/moversmindset --- Thank you! My personal mission is creating better conversations to spread understanding and compassion. And Movers Mindset is one of the things I do in service of my mission. Drop by constantine.name for my weekly email, my other podcasts, writing and more. The Movers Mindset project grew from conversations I started having as part of my personal journey rediscovering movement. The project started late in 2015, and it was initially simply a web site that shared others’ writing. The project grew, and in 2017 I started the podcast. I’ve worked extremely hard, but none of this would have been possible without so much help from so many people. Cheers! ɕ
