Nothing different from past announcements. Junior high or older, male or female, under 18s need consent. Tokyo and Osaka auditions. Does Junior high refer to Middle School or is it a junior in High School?

I do have some obstacles that I can train on, I just kinda had to think creatively. I actually practice the Cliffhanger on a ledge (that's 2 4/5 cm), although I'm still trying to get my arms to be able to stay at 90 degrees. I also practice the Spider Walk/ Spider Climb between two walls, obviously. I'm not the most fit guy, as I am 5'5" and I weigh 123 pounds. I'm only able to do 10 finger-pull-ups (on the same ledge I practice the cliffhanger. I don't think your weight is an issue. I'm 6'2" and 152 lbs. I think Rider is 5'8" 136, so (I might not word this correctly) it mainly has to do with progression and keeping at what you are doing. I've been training for 5 years getting to where I am now. Rider has for 9 years I think. Patience is key. Yeah I haven't been doing this kind of stuff for very long, probably about a year. I am pretty short, but I guess that does really affect my upper body strength in any negative way, (especially considering that Makoto Nagano is 5'3" and how successful he was). I'm not very strong when it comes to weightlifting and stuff, whereas I can only lift 55 lbs. So I would probably go under the walls in Sasuke like Ryo in Stage 2 XD. But I appreciate the response.

This is going to sound ridiculous but it works, Playgrounds, most people see structures for kids to play on, I see a fortress of adaptability that presents many opportunities to work on your basic NW skills and even recreate movements needed for obstacles, you just got to look at things the right way. Oh no it doesn't sound ridiculous at all, I actually practice the jumping bars when I'm able to go to a playground, I can't go every day due to the fact that it's my old schools playground, and school is still in session. The thing is I'm not very good on these obstacles, I'm not sure if it's that I need to build my upper body more, or if it's because of my weight. ( I weigh 123 pounds and I'm 5'5" btw)

Yeah there is no need to build your own big a** replicas lol (they are fun though!). Figuring out makeshift obstacles at playgrounds or in your own backyard is really good. Another thing is do NOT neglect balance stuff. That being said I built my own stupid swingset thing in my backyard with 2 cliffhanger ledges and a couple cannonballs. I do have some obstacles that I can train on, I just kinda had to think creatively. I actually practice the Cliffhanger on a ledge (that's 2 4/5 cm), although I'm still trying to get my arms to be able to stay at 90 degrees.

I really want to get into parkour. The NUMBER ONE thing that's stopping me from being successful is hesitation; fear of getting seriously injured. Any tips?

I made this thread for myself and anyone else who has trouble training due to not having actual obstacles. I need some ideas on how to train without having replicas of obstacles or anything. I would really love to hear some ideas. All of them would be greatly appreciated!

Trouble with ANW All Stars is that some of the best competitors have only been going two or three tournaments. Geoff, Isaac, Kevin, Abel, etc. I think, were it an NBC-Created list, you'd see Isaac, Brian, Kacy, Drew, Joe, James. You could judge it on long-serving competitors that helped establish the sport, meaning David, Drew, Brent, Paul, James and Ryan. Flip, Travis Rosen and a few others deserve places here too. However, ANW is not Sasuke. The pool of noteable competitors who return every year is much larger, and most of them are still turning in strong performances (Even David Campbell will get going once he breaks Stage 1). It's much too early to choose all-stars, if you must do it at all, considering Bunpei first competed in Sasuke 9, and Nagano in Sasuke 7, and we haven't reached ANW 8 yet. Personally, I'd rather it remained a Sasuke-only concept anyway. ANW just doesn't suit it. I know what you mean. Of course I was just speaking hypothetically.

I think maybe: Geoff Britten Isaac Caldiero Joe Moravsky Paul Kasemir Brian Arnold Not too sure about this last spot Mine would probably be: Geoff Britten Drew Dreschel Isaac Caldiero Joe Moravsky Paul Kasemir David Campbell (for dedication reasons, like Katsumi Yamada in SASUKE)

If there was a list of All-Stars in ANW, which six should be a member? If I had one pick, it would obviously be Drew Dreschel. So make a list of six.

Why is it that everyone is talking about Wreath Man? I'm not trying to cause an uproar in just wondering. And I have watched Sasuke 31

He still competes. Just that I think since he's getting older and the course is only getting harder Ohhhhh- that type of comeback. Gotcha. oh my gosh I'm so stupid. I didn't read what the person who created this thread said.

What was the most shocking fall ever? I think it was in Sasuke 31 with Takeda failing the first obstacle.

Toshihiro Takeda. I would love to see him in the final stage. I think he would achieve kanzenseiha, due to how much climbing he does. Although I don't think he would be able to get that far. Takeda still competes unless I missed something and he retired? He still competes. Just that I think since he's getting older and the course is only getting harder

Who else ever tried to do obstacles as a kid such as doing the spider walk in between the walls in the hallway or something else reply and say what you did.

Who else thinks it's going to take forever to get used to Yusuke Morimoto's Complete Victory. I think it's going to take forever to get used to there being 4 Grand Champions. I definitely think it's going to take a while.

Which all-stars do you think are the most capable of getting to stage 2? My vote is for Toshihiro Takeda.

I went with the globe grasp too only because it shines blue and Nakata just can't pass it for ANYTHING! Well Takeda failed there too before so he isn't alone. whenever I see Takeda fail on it it bums me out cause he only had like two globes left
