I don't know, but if you know about Parkour, I know a little, can you tell me if that whole chase scene at the start of the last bond film Casino Royale in Uganda was done by Parkour experts, it looked very much like it, especially the black guy, and was wondering did they use actual well known Parkour people to do those scenes? It was a really awesome to watch.

Sébastien Foucan did the scenes at the start of Casino Royale. He's a friend of the guy who invented parkour, David Belle...

I saw an interview with him on Richard and Judy a while back - he's amazing.

the small games hall in wick high school has the safety mats, though whether you would be allowed to use the hall you would have to phone and see,
the youth club at the blackstairs also holds jujitsu pardon if spelling is wrong I assume they use practise mats again you would have to check.
and I wish I was 10/15 years younger as I would love to try as well but I don't think my body would appreciate it now
