Hi Lucas. SafeNSure is right, the regular Sunday practices are great for beginners. Also, there are regular sessions in Berkeley:

- Monday Conditioning: 630pm @ Doe Library on the UC Berkeley Campus
- Wednesday Conditioning (more suited to beginners, as Monday is pretty strenuous): 630pm @ Doe Library
- Thursday Weekly Berkeley Jam: 630pm above the Bactel Engineering library at UC Berkeley

We're very open to beginners at any session, so feel free to make an appearance. Also, make sure to check out the sessions on the "Events" page...drop me a line for more information. Good luck training!

Hey, since I'm a begginer and in the east bay area, is anyone gonna be doing any events for begginers like me? Or where are some places I could start parkour training/conditioning at?
Eden Comment by Eden on October 9, 2009 at 5:26pm
Haha alright sounds good. I'll check that all out.
fluffybunny Comment by fluffybunny on October 9, 2009 at 4:58pm
Yea, we're all still here. Just slacking a bit between posting regular stuff to BAPK, SFPK and Cal Parkour on facebook. We have regular sessions on Monday (6:30, Doe Library, Conditioning), Wednesday (6:30, Doe Library, Lighter Conditioning) and Thursday (6:30, above Bactel Library, Berkeley weekly jam).

Contact myself (Andrew) or messenger33 (Seng) for more information...I'll try to get back into posting stuff. Too busy training :-).

Erik- check the event calendar for training and jam sessions just about everyday. It's not too tough to get to SF via BART if there isn't a carpool forming. If you are looking for instruction, the regular Sunday basic training is a good place to start.

The main weekly EB session is at UC-Berkeley at 6pm on Thursdays which usually happens even if it's not on the event calendar. There are often willing teachers (myself included), but it's more of a jam format than the Sunday training.

Hey guys,
just moved out here. Where's a good place to start? where are the meetups, etc.?
Seng Comment by Seng on February 22, 2009 at 2:41am
Since there's a decent chance of cancellation of the regular Sunday session because of rain, I may be training in the rain at Cal instead. Anyone wanting to join me, gimme a call. If you've got another hot spot suggestion (perhaps even a dry one), I'm certainly open to some exploration.

These write ups are good stuff.....A lot of the times I mean to do the same kind of thing, but I'm terrible at getting around to it. Keep it up, it's really interesting to read about other people's experiences.

Practice "Controlled Hazard" - expose yourself gradually to more risk, get used to danger, be prepared for when something goes wrong, because it always will.
