Event Description

Basic/beginners oriented session, but ALL LEVELS present and WELCOME!

Come play as a kid at this classic BApk location.

 
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...

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

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

Usual there are not too many little ninjas in attendance. Make sure to check out our guidelines for kids on the home page.

If children attend, we just ask that they be monitored chiefly by their parent or legal guardian, as we are not instructors per se.

Of course I will be happy to show them how to stay safe, and I would personally work with a parent before to determine what your rules and guidelines are for safe behavior.

If you do come, bring a hearty snack and water. Personally, I think it may be tough to keep up with us grown ups, so bringing a friend or two seems to have worked for other young guns in the past.
