MonkeyMan

Meet Jyoti Raju also known as the Monkey King. Watching this video you’ll see how he earned that name.

According to the videos he commonly entertains the visitors at the Chitradurga Fort in southern India.

As in all forms of rock climbing this takes lots of skill and full body strength, especially in the hands and fingers. My favorite move is when he flips upside down.

Thanks to Tony for first pointing me out to this video.

    15:51 scaled HSPU w/ 5kg plateThis is the first day I did not wish Diane a fiery death by sproks. 9:09 PR from October w/ same scaling and very happy with that. HSPU feel way better, I think 50% of improvement is the work on moving better, hollow, tight core, active shoulders, confident movement. Though I’m no example of perfection (see jimmy/ben).Fun coincidence: I think today is my first PR against a pre-surgery WOD and it’s exactly 6months post surgery. Wahoo! Patience paying off.

    Wiesz…..jestem pewna,że niestety o niego już nikt nie zawalczyÅ‚. Moja córka w klasie,w szkole ma takie dzieci…zaniedbane,z pustkÄ… wychowawczÄ…,nikt ich nie nauczyÅ‚ żyć zgodnie z normami spoÅ‚ecznymi i przypisani sÄ… już niestety marginesowi….również przez nauczycieli. On nie zna innego życia,myÅ›li,że tak ma być. Niestety.

    Tracey · Hi Narnie – Thanks for your comments. There was certainly ‘something’ in the feel of the venue prior to PJ’s entrance which contrasted wonderfully with the feel after her arrival. She is a beautifully poetic singer-songwriter who simply exudes passion for her craft…certainly a true inspiration in that respect.

    tal parece que es a lo unico que va,este baboso a llamar la atencion para que lo detengan y asi dar de que hablar,que lastima que se hable de el por sus escandalitos planeados que por el ”talento”que deberia tener para estar cubriendo un evento asi.
