<p>Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend any affordable, consistently scheduled, adult oriented free running & parkour classes in Marin? Ideally held at least once or twice each week.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The only place i found so far is The Cave. But they say even in their website that it is oriented to children. Strange to not have adult focused classes. ( Edit, someone just called me back from there saying Tuesdays 6:30-8:30 class is for adults 18+.) But they only have a very, very small indoor…</p>

<p>The only place i found so far is The Cave. But they say even in their website that it is oriented to children. Strange to not have adult focused classes. ( Edit, someone just called me back from there saying Tuesdays 6:30-8:30 class is for adults 18+.) But they only have a very, very small indoor space dedicated to it, last I checked it out about 2 years ago. And are very expensive, around $32 per class, especially considering these factors.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Looking for something more affordable, adult focused and with more training options, so likely outdoors.?</p>

<p>Hey BAPK community! I just moved to Daly City for school at SF State. I was wondering if there are any groups at the school. Also, I wanted to know if anyone trains at/around State and Daly City. I would love to join if it's at the right time. :D</p>

Parkour consists of leaping, jumping, climbing, vaulting, and basically maneuvering over obstacles in an environment. Many tracuers (practitioners of parkour) tend to focus more on the obstacle, which is fun, but causes you to forget about another thing. Space. The philosophy behind parkour is to get to one point from another as quick as possible. If you are faced with an environment of open space, you must be a master of that too.

Parkour consists of leaping, jumping, climbing, vaulting, and basically maneuvering over obstacles in an environment. Many tracuers (practitioners of parkour) tend to focus more on the obstacle, which is fun, but causes you to forget about another thing. Space. The philosophy behind parkour is to get to one point from another as quick as possible. If you are faced with an environment of open space, you must be a master of that too. You must be capable of running in vast open fields in all terrain. The space around an obstacle is just as important as the obstacle itself. To be able to move quickly in open space should be a priority to many tracuers.<br />
<br />
To be able to run vast distances consistently is a priority in parkour. In many examples of parkour you will see people leap over gaps, and climb buildings. But what is most important is becoming aware of the space between, around, inside, and outside of these obstacles. Spatial awareness is the key to getting in touch with your environment. In order to run, leap, jump, vault or climb over things efficiently, you must be able to run, leap, and jump efficiently without an obstacle, before you actually attempt to do so over, around, under, or through an obstacle. When you attain efficiency in an environment without obstacles, becoming proficient in an obstacle-based environment will be much easier.<br />
<br />
Running has many benefits that compliment parkour. It improves your cardiovascular system, coordination, endurance, it reduces the risk of bone and muscle loss. Runners are typically happier, less stressed out, and more confident. So start with jogging, on different terrain, sand, cement, dirt. Just as a good warm up, it reduces the chance of injury and stretches your muscles. I have yet to start myself.
