Event Description

Please -anybody reading this and coming- sign-up and/or RSVP!

...we'll be meeting exactly where described on the map above, and we'll be warming up at the nearby WW2 battery; where we'll spend most of the time; try to show up not later than 7:30.

Session description:

This training provides a healthy and motivated atmosphere for existing practitioners to progress their parkour, and to do this in a safe, peer-reviewed, no-BS and no-sitting around way. :)

The goal of these sessions is to enhance the effectiveness of our parkour practice, through advancements in precision, speed, control, power, stamina, resistance, determination and confidence. The mean to achieve this, will be perfecting short combinations of basic movements through intense repetitions in order to ultimately trigger instinctive reactions and reduce transition time.

The more experienced practitioners will set a positive example by focusing on a thorough warm up, dynamic stretching, cardio-vascular resistance and precise repetition of movement. There will be no showing off, rather humbly passing on of knowledge, in a group effort to keep up the pace of the drills and advance together. Also we will try to maintain our focus on uninterrupted motion from drill start to finish (A-to-B). All while keeping safety as paramount.

While there may be different physical or technical skill levels represented at these sessions, everyone will keep an eye out for anybody needing advice or encouragement. Absolute novices, with no previous experience in group training of parkour or other physical disciplines, are advised to consider first beginning with a Basic Training (Sundays).

The perception that parkour practice is fun, yet being "a discipline, not a game" will be tangible and is required.

Everybody pls. check this frequently asked questions about liability.

Comment by Julien on May 20, 2011 at 8:26am: Sounds like I might be the only one, so I'll just train by myself earlier in the presidio...

Comment by NoHero on May 13, 2011 at 8:45pm: No RSVPs so I'm not going to waste the time and money going.

Comment by SafeNSure on May 12, 2011 at 6:02pm: Won't make it this week...

Johnny, David (even Caleb!), and all the others that show without RSVP'g/signing up: pls. do a favor to those who come out regularly and coordinate the training (like Will, driving from the East Bay), and let them know you're coming by signing up (if you're not) and rsvp-ing!

Pretty please...

Comment by Ryan Fulmer on May 6, 2011 at 12:30pm: I'll be here probably a bit early again ~630ish

Comment by SafeNSure on April 30, 2011 at 10:20pm: ...wow! Static?
That's crazy far.
I've seen Caleb doing a running catleap there, using the long ledge as runway, but static... wow!
Can you talk of which progression did you do? Just increasing the distance?

Anyway, that wall is a good catleap training spot. I've basically learned my running catleap there (90degrees opposite corner), where you can progressively broaden the jump, landing on the wall one-footed and sliding it before stopping yourself with the second foot. Feels good and controlled.

Comment by Ryan Fulmer on April 30, 2011 at 5:20pm: nice solo session for about an hour then had 30 min with Will

spent almost the entire solo hour working the static catleap at the meeting spot from the low ledge to the wall. ~12ft.

Comment by NoHero on April 29, 2011 at 6:36pm: Arriving a little late, we start at 7 for daylight savings,

Comment by Ryan Fulmer on April 29, 2011 at 4:26pm: i am going to be here from about 6pm till 730 or so. have to get out early

Comment by SafeNSure on April 22, 2011 at 5:08pm: ...I'm going to this even if I'm still beaten from yesterday's gym training.

This is a great way to jumpstart the week-end, after sitting on our rear ends most of the week!
