Event Description

Please -anybody reading this and coming- sign up (=RSVP) in due time! (If you don't, you may very well not know where we will be. See below...) 


A slightly different format; training location will be DECIDED WITH PARTICIPANTS , depending on: current weather conditions, number of participants, mood, etc. We'll either be meeting at the traditional 19th Ave. at Holloway (parking lot), or at Hensill Hall (a rare, albeit limited, outdoor covered spot, which allows for dry training even in pouring rain), or at some known spot specifically picked.

Only RSVPs will be contacted with final location, so please make sure you'll sign up in due time.

Last minute (only!) # contact is 9-uan-7-tree-7-uan-4-faiv-9-tree (txt preferred).
Now please read the session description.

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 (see examples). 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 while the practice of parkour is fun, it's "a discipline, not a game" will be tangible and is required.

Everybody pls. check this frequently asked questions about liability.

...next Friday, May 25, is a long-weekend Friday, so things may vary.

Sign up in due time to make sure something will take place...

(also last Friday of the month is ALWAYS Critical Mass in SF!)

Sounds like a great plan! ;)

Tonight's training will be at
 Aquatic Park in San Francisco (walk/drive until the very end of Van Ness Ave., park if you need to, and make a right on the walkway as soon as you see the water).

Meet by the lawn at the stairs.

Great weather and not so mysterious, but awesome location!

Going to give my thumb another couple days of rest, but I'll be there Sunday

...I was a "maybe", cause I've been a bit under the weather, but now I'm a "no", due to another commitment I forgot about.
:(

See many of you Sunday, the others next week.

Sprained my thumb in the trees last Sunday, and my back's still out of whack so I'm gonna sit this one out.

WOOT! for a fully attended progression session! (at least my car was full...)

Five (5) of us in attendance, with a couple regulars missing, and we might have even lost one (1) in the process of meeting to get to this week's Mistery Spot.

So, please, in general:

- the earlier you sign up (RSVP) the earlier we can figure out who's coming, where to meet and where to go;

- the earlier we figure that out, the earlier we will alert you (by PM or txt), and

- the easier and more punctual our gathering will be, allowing us to benefit of more precious evening light.

Thanks!
