In addition to the links to Brazilian traceuse videos of 2010, Tatiana Silva from Brazil has written a great short story on what the parkour video is to her! Read on and enjoy :) " Brazil is a big country and this sometimes prevents many girls from training together, but because of this distance, each traceuse brings a little of her region, her state or her town to her method of training.

Pava has a comic strip which is inspired by the people around him and believe it or not, is actually part of his PhD ethnographic research project. Here's a sample of this week's comic - check out the website for lots more funniness!  http://parkour.au.com  Laugh all you like. You know we have a gender imbalance. He is right.

Recently I’ve been asked for a few times if I knew why no girls / only a small number of girls do Parkour. Seems like people are concerned about the imbalance of girls and boys in the Parkour Community. But the latest workshop I attended proved that people don’t have to worry at all!Here we go, a little report on the ParkourONE workshops at the fair “muba” in Swiss:From February 12th-13th, 2011

A big gallery this month - there are lots of women coming out to train and of course big thanks to the women organizing workshops, or who thought of whipping out a camera to snap some pics, or hey, if you're not in the gallery because you're just too awesome to be photographed (the level of awesomeness that blows up cameras!) - then sending lots of love your way and keep up the energy :D

Jodie Rodriguez, Marisa Lee, Albert Kong, Justin Tang and Jason Wong were interviewed by Hyphen Magazine and you should watch this video for these reasons: the video is professionally edited and there's all the things we love: fluid movement, honest commentary and asian people running around and jumping on stuff.

Part 1  Sometimes it's hard to know how many girls in Brazil practise parkour. Organizing a meeting was a great reason to know the women, exchange ideas and experiences, and shoot some pictures for those who wanted to make a video in the future ... For some girls the journey was long, but it was definitely worth it. It was beautiful to watch doing Raissa do a difficult a cat leap. It was great to

This third video of Brazilian traceuses was an initiative of Juliana from São Paulo. After many conversations on the web girls from various cities came together and filmed some of their training. In this video these girls show strength, discipline and passion for parkour.Thanks to all the girls who participated in this project and all who support female parkour in Brazil, especially JJ (who

"A friend said to me: 'Describing Parkour is like describing colors to a man born blind', i.e. that it's almost impossible. Of course you can find facts about Parkour and ultimately they will give an approximate definition. But Parkour for me is a lifestyle," In a Wikipedia world, anyone can look up what "Parkour" means, but from the icy north, Therese talks about the different views of

The whole idea behind this page is to get more girls training together. Not that there is anything wrong with training with boys, its actually important to do that too. But for some girls it's not that easy, in fact it can even quite intimidating, for reasons varying from difference in skill level, age, to general self consciousness. This is not a business. It's a social group for girls who do

The 'Made in Italy - traceuses Project 2010' was created with the aim to promote women in the disciplines of Parkour and Art du déplacement in Italy. The project was born from the union and collaboration of Italian traceuses, to encourage other girls approach to discipline without much hesitation, gender, and because parkour art du déplacement is open to all disciplines. For this reason we made a

On a stormy afternoon in October, a small group gathered in a brick-paved courtyard on the University of California Berkeley campus to participate in CalPK's Women's Workshop. The group included three instructors, about half a dozen students and several members of the CalPK and SFParkour communities coming out to lend moral support. Despite the rainy weather, spirits were high and soon, even the

This month's video update is a big bag of everything : a girl with a city as her name, creative ways to run to work in london, gymnasts, a greek parkour media darling and of course fun and flips (putting the "k"ontroversy into par"k"our) Whatever you want to call it, it's this kind of diversity that makes the entrance of women in parkour so interesting - let's see where it all goes!

We've always known about how motivated the ladies in parkour are, as well as how passionate we are about spreading their joy and teaching others who'd like to start. So much so that women all over the world organize regular training sessions as opportunities for women to meet up or have started online pages and forums just to let other women know that they are there! For example there is

Please let me know if you want any info on the groups out

There's a lot happening in Germany at the moment! Caro and Michi took part in the latest Rhino's ad. Sadly both of them were injured on the second shooting day, but we definitely will see more of their skills in the next ad! :) It's great anyway, check it out -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XoPDGqkyrI And from November "the bat" - a German operetta, in which Ayla and Jules are supporting roles,

To support the launch of the July Edition of Red Bulletin in the UK, check out this clip of Hollywood stuntwoman and one of the world's best freerunners, Luci Romberg.

The News page has always tried to show what's going on around the world, unfortunately the previous setup didn't allow multiple posters and it was always a big race to catch up with what's happening. So say hello to the Girlparkour Blog! Hope that this allows more up to date news about what, where, who... :) The blog will be a permanent part of the site and you are free to post in any language
