Thank you very much for the links & advice! They were surely helpful for a beginner like mi self.<br />
Yes, Fiji is urban, well at least in the city areas but I love to do mi Parkour using the more natural surroundings...trees, hills, rivers, rocks, etc or at home. In that way I wouldn't be trespassing & not make a total fool of mi self out in the public eye, since it ain't that common here yet. Having to have someone Parkour in public here in Fiji would l@@k totally stupid, idiotic, &…

Having to have someone Parkour in public here in Fiji would l@@k totally stupid, idiotic, & crazy to on-goers who have no knowledge of Parkour :) lolz<br />
The only time I Parkour in public is when I'm in a rush to get some where...now that's a lot of on-lookers alright :)<br />
<br />
Thanks. Welcome Alicia!

Welcome Alicia!<br />
Congratulation for being a pioneer in your geographic areas.<br />
<br />
Since you cannot -obviously- come out with us, as Michelle was suggesting, at a basic training or all-girls jam, the best would be finding somebody experienced (and safe!) to start with closer to you.<br />
In absence of that it can be extremely useful to check out this <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/page/pk-beginners-guide">beginners guide</a>, and the totality of the…

There's more in the Resources section, in our Technique and Methods forum, and among all the other videos, but those are really the basic ropes...<br />
Let us know how you liked them.<br />
<br />
You may have to adapt what said to your more natural setting (I wouldn't consider Fiji exactly "urban"...), since we tent to focus on man-made, architectural obstacles; but I may be wrong.<br />
Also, remember safety (and security, especially when training by yourself) is paramount!<br />

Hey Michelle...WOW...that's AWESOME!!! As much as I would love to come...problem is I live in Fiji, right out in the South Pacific. :( There ain't much people here that are interested in Parkour. Well to come to think of it, I haven't heard or know anyone who actually is interested in Parkour here in Fiji. I would love to come to one of this events in the future...thanks :)

Hi Alicia,<br />
Welcome! I am pretty new too! I started about a month ago, but BAPK is great - they organize a lot of beginner jam sessions and conditioning sessions which are all free and you can learn a lot from everyone because there are people at all levels who go and everyone is really supportive. If you're free this coming Sunday, we're having a women's Jam over in the presidio and there also might be an informal conditioning session on Saturdaty at Mountain Lake Park at 10am.

Hi Alicia,<br />
Welcome! I am pretty new too! I started about a month ago, but BAPK is great - they organize a lot of beginner jam sessions and conditioning sessions which are all free and you can learn a lot from everyone because there are people at all levels who go and everyone is really supportive. If you're free this coming Sunday, we're having a women's Jam over in the presidio and there also might be an informal conditioning session on Saturdaty at Mountain Lake Park at 10am. Sometimes I work out there as well. In any event, look forward to meeting you at one of our sessions. Also, every Monday night at 6:30pm-till whenever, we all meet up at Kezar Stadium and do conditioning there as well, so just come whenever it fits into your schedule. Would be great to meet you.<br />
