of the turning points in you could have this class since last began in this place. the zip zip circus academy in cape town, south africa today is training day. it looks at lists, but you could, this has to be highly focused all the time. once a club fits you all once and once, who gets injured? if it's the difficult to go back to it because the 1st thing that's going to be in your mind is that fall is going to happen again or that club is going to hit me again. my middle name is danger. so normally if i for like to send up and say yes, let's go again. the people in going, meeting failure with a sense of humor with clubs, opal's you kobus is training $5.00 to $6.00 times per week with each stage partner, jason, the

u. k. this has come a long way. the 29 year old is one of the main perform is it's exec circus. clown, acrobat, juggler. you kobus is rather twine is wide off to the break back to full focus in 10 weeks. one of the most important events in south africa will take place the national festival in the condo, kobus and his colleagues will perform the latest stage program until then old tricks and stunts have to be on points. this app is not only a circus society, but also a training center. the academy in the cape town district of woodstock offers a free education for young people. brett van rent book found zips up in 1995 together with his wife loadings. both of fullness focus on us. we believe that any kid and matter, what's it back on? if they've given the opportunity in life and they've passionate about what they,

they do, any child can make it. and a lot of kids, you know, have talent and skills. often lives beyond and zip said, you know, we kind of provide that platform to keep children that maybe don't have as much as others. the platform to do something with a life. you cut this to everyone, calls trump. he was one of these children touring with a zip zip. so it goes to came around the world in the last 2 years, even performed in front of tennessee to start real, just cetera, and direct the bama at the white house. however, his road to success was rocky. as a teenager, you kobus would live on the straits of pa, a suburb of cape town. he was addicted to substances such as man directs and mess with highly dangerous drugs. jacobus was a rough bottom. this cellphone picture is the only one catch it from those times.

a trip to the past, only a few 100 meters away from the academy. this is the place where he would live. jacobus is joining zips up at the age of 16. with the help of an outreach program from the straits to the stage. so how did he manage to do that? i want them all for myself. i didn't think of going back to the dogs with things that as of them and all of that that didn't come close to my head. and some of those gave me a taste. they gave me a bite of the apple, and i told myself, i want one more of this. apple. and today have got so much more of that ample. a weekend with the circus people. instead of staying at home, you could us jason and coach ivan, want to leave the city, his friend jason is a passionate angler. while you kobus that is still learning, maybe he's lucky today, the

keep within the so you kobus this trip to the sea means a lot. it means to have the feeling of the normal life you don't have to. so that's about it is the other ways this assume and hopefully that applies. go in and indeed you kobus has got something on level the

and then try again from the bridge. since almost 8 years you code this and jason are inexperienced team. we know each other works. i know i field, i know which way he goes, eat those which way i go. like so it's nice to be able to work with someone like that. we spend so much time with each other. i feel that it's like it's impossible not to become friends. they didn't catch a fish today, but they've enjoyed a brief moment of a only 2 weeks left until the festival performance last rehearsals at the zips that done the atmosphere is 10. the a few of us injured you, kobus felt his wrist when he tried to lift. jason wasn't strong enough in

the zip. and then we stopped. so now and then a bit of pain. but it's to a couple of you kind of this is hard on himself. big knows the pain and participates in all the run through almost every one of the circus has experienced the rough sides of life. and there was no coincidence in the topics of the performances always be about. it's essential matters. the time of the festival gets closer and like the weather, the moods are also some of the kind of feels pain in his whole body. the result of too much training and emotional tension and massage should help him. most pain

always go to the back of the last meeting, upside down too much precious, also pulling to the back. that's a question of us. so basically this is an issue it's use and abuse. so it just feels very well be about lots of muscle. but they also really tied to 45 minute treatment works its magic. i have a least invited and out. i feel sleepy too. so quick come from i think is about open you could this needs to get fit again because time slots on the one week later talking day at the zips i've done
