SFPK has been carefully considering the pros and cons of becoming an Affiliate, and in the end sees it as a great opportunity to forward our own agenda of creating an open, diverse community that is based on safety, proper training techniques, controlled progression, and collaborating with others.  It also gives us a stronger voice in influencing the national parkour community, and will definitely help create stronger ties with other parkour communities, both Affiliates and otherwise.

Read the official announcement on AmericanParkour.com
http://www.americanparkour.com/content/view/4392/1/

“We are pleased to announce the latest (and greatest!) APK Affiliate… San Francisco Parkour! SFPK is an older and well established community, and they’ve done amazing things since it was started by two guys who wanted to start learning this new thing called Parkour. They’ve done work with Youtube, held major area monthly jams (basically like National Jams for the SF area) for over a year, and established an amazing and supportive community that works hard and trains hard.

Great job, guys, and looking forward to having you aboard!”

Many thanks to all the supporters and active members of the SFPK and APK  communities for making this possible!
