Parkour 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..
