Event Description

Let's try inserting the most classic Sunday session location ("est.d 2007") in 2012 repeated sessions rotation, and let's keep our fingers crossed.

UNLESS THE GATE IS OPEN, we'll meet outside of it, thanks!

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...

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

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

Ha! And it's free, in case you were wondering...

Due to persistent drizzle and wet conditions at GWHS this training was relocated at SFSU Hensill Hall (where we eventually enjoyed quite a bit of sunshine...) at 12:15pm Sunday.

Combination of Daylight Saving Time and weather didn't allow for a smooth coordination.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Hadn't realized the time change... :( I will be there late, hopefully, you would still be there!

Thanks! I'm hoping to get over to the session between some tech stuff, otherwise, see you at the film.

Darnit, going to miss this, one of my favorite locations in SF because... my first feature film as director of photography is screening the evening of this session! World premiere! Please come out, it'll be fun. Check out the festival page or film website for tickets and other info.
