Event Description

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

WE WILL BE MEETING EVEN WITH POURING RAIN AT THIS EXACT LOCATION (see image/map), and moving around to neighboring spots (all in a quarter mile radius) depending on weather.


This location can be a little out of way if unfamiliar with the Presidio, so consider 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...

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

Can we get back to GWHS soon? I have a friend who wants to come as soon as we return there.

I liked how I used to be able to tell people "Washington High School at noon on Sunday", and just leave it at that. It's alright that we're going to new spots, but it makes it harder to direct beginners to the training.

If the rain is light, I vote for wandering! I love the Presidio because there is a ton of stuff to find. I think there are some nice spots by the bowling alley that I haven't explored and some interesting stuff to climb near the other standard meeting spot across from the YMCA.
