Day 8 - Cat Back on Wall

Wall from FOFA Academy

I went back to the Academy I go to for Parkour, mostly to be able to face my next fear challenge. The academy has two wooden boards mounted on a wall that can be grabbed onto by jumping. These are mostly used to deal with cat grabs, a move used in Parkour that allows someone to hang from a wall. My fear would be to jump and go into a cat grab on this wall, then jump from a cat grab back onto the wood platform I jumped from.


I have attempted this move several times before, none with success. The platform I jump from is at least 5-6 feet away from the wooden boards and about 3 feet from the ground. I always hesitate to make the full jump back onto the platform for fear of clipping my feet. This time, however, I went at it with a clear mind approach. Not only was I able to make the jump but I went a few inches over my intended position. The clear mind approach once again proved to be successful in overcoming this fear.
