Event Description

Basic/beginners training provided, but ALL LEVELS present and WELCOME!

Check here for RIDES.

Session description:
This training provides a healthy atmosphere for new practitioners to start parkour, and for everyone to advance in a safe way. This is achieved in several ways. Because safety is paramount, a positive example is set by the more experienced practitioners. This means you will always see warm ups, stretching, and slow progression of movement. It also means there will be no showing off, which leads to copy-cat behavior and subsequently injuries. Rather, people pass on knowledge humbly in a group effort to advance. While there may be several different skill levels represented at these sessions, everyone keeps a beginner mentality.

Another key aspect in this beginner atmosphere is the absence of media. There are no camera crews or reporters to get in the way or cause people to feel self-conscious. While individuals may bring cameras, they should politely ask before filming/shooting anyone other than themselves.

The perception that parkour practice is (and should be) fun, yet being "a discipline, not a game", is set from the beginning. While the atmosphere is relaxed and can be playful at times, horseplay is discouraged, and teasing, mocking, and cliquish behaviors are not tolerated...

Minors and Newcomers pls. check this frequently asked questions about liability. =)

Ha! And it's free, in case you were wondering...

Great training today!
Thanks Jodie & Jason for coaxing me over that chain link fence - without you it wouldn't have happened ;-)

...a good turnout today, at about 20, during these sleepy, summery Sundays!
Most importantly: new faces, and some old-timers resurfacing (welcome back: Sam!); also: always great use of all GWHS 'stations'!

Say what you want about this spot, but a place with so much, and so good, for both beginners and intermediates it's very hard to find...

I was thinking about this spot tonight before I realized Sunday was going to be there. I kept thinking how I wanted to be there and do some continuous movement work including at least two runs.
