Parkour class was a lot of fun, though it also was mixed-level, so it pushed me very hard as the only beginner in the class.  It's an interesting shakeup going from being a fairly competent rock climber to a clueless parkour-er.  You all should try it as well.  The class uses soft barriers so you're much less likely to injure yourself.  This is what the class is like, moment-to-moment:


 There are lots of other cool classes there as well, including silk dancing, capoeira, trapeeze, tumbling, handstands, and more.  First class is free!  I'm thinking I want to use my discount pass to try a variety of other classes and get the experience of being a beginner in them as well.  There's a certain meta-skill you can develop that allows you to deal with getting dunked into new and challenging situations of a particular sort, and I learned the travel version of that meta-skill while going around the world and having to get used to a new language, culture, and way of moving around a city and a society every few days..
