Auburn Action
8th January 2009

The centre of Auburn city was occupied by a large group of young people yesterday as we introduced Parkour to the area. 9Lives partnered with ACDN to make it happen with plans to keep the workshops ongoing to encourage young people to stay active and creative in the suburb.

Penrith Parkour
2nd January 2009

A couple of weeks ago we had the chance to share our knowledge with some emerging Parkour practitioners in the Penrith area. Supported by Penrith City Council, the 4 hour - intensive workshop ran through a heap of Parkour skills as well as emphasis on philosophy and conditioning.
The group of young men proved the talent in Penrith is strong and can only get better.

Flying Forward
30th November 2009

Originating from China and worn by the Shaolin Masters themselves, Feiyue shoes are now available in Australia. Team 9Lives have received free pairs to promote the brand, and we must say the kicks have proven great in our training, forcing us to emphasize the focus on technique and soft landings. Visit Feiyue here.

Who said girls can't Parkour?
11th October 2009

A free, introductory Parkour workshop was held yesterday at the Prairiewood Youth Centre as part of the Exhibit 09' event held for local youths. We were amazed at the turnout which included an overflow of girls, and incredibly fast learning by all students. With very few women in the Parkour scene, we hope to see more of this kind of enthusiasm!
