Toronto (CAN) North American capital of PK training...

...and BAparkour has always been (even before its official inception), and still is, a very female-practitioners-friendly community.

But can we match an entire week-end with a full-house of 20-traceuses-20?!?

Read the whole story at PKNA, but see with your own eyes here:

Ladies!
Can we hope to have our first only female beginners (and not) session in September, when everybody will be back from travel/vacations?

off the bat i'm thinkin a lot of conditioning of the basic abilities... especially everyone's jump (core of the vault). And flow practice. I realize people don't actually train that nearly enough. Cardio's a killer :D

rofl. just watched this for the first time.

that place looks amazing, and the plans danno has for it sound incredible. it'd be soooo cool to see more pk gyms pop up all over the world - so long as we never limit ourselves to them ;)

...and you thought we may have difficulties with 30 traceurs? Try a few hundreds... lol!

Well, it's also true that there are probably 3 times more people training in the Toronto area than there are in the bay area. They had 100 people jams 3 years ago. I think we're doing pretty well :) But there's always a ways to go!

[SafeNSure]

hehehe...

[SafeNSure]

...think about who was here three years ago.
;)

...and now (*rolling drums!)... you saw the pictures... you heard the stories... look for yourself the inspiring/exhilarating pkTO All-Girls-Jam (or better: "training"):

...just in time for the upcoming BApk WomenJam!
