Just like being able to ollie a skateboard, parkour's core move sounds simple but takes practice. If you can't jump then perhaps you should consider unicycle hockey (read more about that in my basketball in Joburg article... strange, I know). Fortunately for Joburg, the guys from Kaizen Parkour can jump. In fact they can do more than just jump. I'd go so far as to say that they represent the heart of the city: pacing like a group of ninja cheetahs chasing their dreams through the dirty streets. Their blood laced with gold and seeing no end in sight. Kaizen Parkour is also known for hosting an annual parkour event in the inner city called Black Jam which has seen its third year celebrated during Q1 2018. The idea behind Black Jam is to unite parkour crews and fanatics in Joburg and to grow the scene together. With that said, Kaizen Parkour is also known to collaborate with other Joburg crews, such as those based in Sandton, and often do weekend parkour runs all over the place.

In conclusion, Kaizen Parkour is only a single example of how much talent this city has to offer, and when that talent is used for good it can have a ripple effect that can be felt the country over. This article is written as the crew embark on a journey to introduce improvised school children of the coolness and benefit of parkour.
