Event Description

This will be an itinerant training -starting at China Beach-, but moving up to Fort Miley after an hour or so (see full route here!).
We highly reccomend to show up on time.

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...

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

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

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

Looks interesting. I'll see how I'm feeling as I'll be flying back in on Saturday night.

You can count me in! I probably won't stay for the whole session since I have to be somewhere else at 4.

I have a fairly good chance of getting there but well see. I really hope I can because it will be my first event I've been able to participate it. I really need this practice. I'm a learner and more than willing to be taught. If i do go, I live in Brentwood CA and will obviously be coming from there to get to SF.

Hope to see you all there. Take care.
