Rafe Kelley Evolve Move Play Intro Seattle

[NoSword]

Rafe Kelley is one of the premier parkour athletes in the world and founder of Parkour Visions gym in Seattle. Less well known is his background in martial arts, which includes Muay Thai and Systema. Right now he is hosting seminars to promote his system "Evolve Move Play," which seeks to reincorporate parkour with its roots in combatives and in natural outdoor environments.

I attended his seminar in Tacoma in March; I'm still working on a detailed write-up but thought I should put something up here quick before his Seattle seminar. Working with Rafe is worth every penny spent and every mile travelled; if you are interested in the broader world of "movement" outside of martial arts and want to work with some extremely capable movers and athletes you should check it out.

Event is at Volunteer Park in Seattle, 11:00 AM on Saturday, May 3rd. Tickets are available at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/evolve-move ... aff=efbbt; "early bird" price is $170, full price is $200. Rafe's site is http://www.evolvemoveplay.com.

Rafe's an awesome awesome dude. I first came across him in this interview with Todd Hargrove (Feldenkrais practitioner) on his "better movement" blog:

It's one of the best writeups I've come across on parkour, gymnastics, and movement training generally.

He's also this dude:
