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...

Fall back location -for any events that forces us to leave the premises- remains West Sunset Community Center, a 5' drive away... but if you get there and can't see us, check the sport field and both of its sidestairs before making assumptions...

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

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

I'll try to get there, maybe I can make it a day of walking around SF as well. So is this really 4 hours? That's pretty intense... fun.

If anyone is it Walnut Creek, I can drive you.

Actually I think it was kind of rude of SFPK to create a conditioning session right on this day: http://www.sfparkour.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2263

They were the ones who were in contact with TK17 first, and now they're not coming because it's a BAPK session. This whole thing is getting really ugly :(

So much hatred!!! Stop it!!!

You can't judge everybody at SFPK by a couple people's attitudes. Keep an open mind; prejudice makes you the very thing you don't like about some of them. I'm sure everybody will have a great time regardless of what site they come from.
