Start sporting career
He took up the sport while studying at secondary school.
Reason for taking up the sport
He got interested in jumping techniques after watching the Yamakasi movie, and eventually learned about parkour. "From an early age it was clear that I enjoyed and was interested in movement, so wherever I could climb, I climbed, wherever I could hide, I hid there, and whatever I could jump over and it was in my power to jump over, I jumped over that. I went through a number of sports, from the more complex ones [athletics, football, hockey] to combat sports [judo, karate, ju-jitsu] to the individual ones [parkour, fitness, calisthenics]."
