Beginner’s Class
Saturday, March 13, 2010 at 12 noon @ San Francisco
http://www.sfparkour.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3675
The Beginner’s Class is geared towards first timers, and lasts 1.5 hours. The emphasis will be on controlled progression and will cover: philosophy of parkour, training, conditioning and safety tips, and basic movements such as vaults, landings and rolls. Taking photos/videos at this session is discouraged. Check out the sample agenda for details. Attendees are also welcome to hang out, continue training or have an open jam after the class ends. Remember, classes are always FREE!

California Jam - Spring 2010
March 20-21, 2010 @ San Francisco & Berkeley
http://www.sfparkour.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3474
The CA Jam is all about connecting with traceurs from other areas, cities, and communities around the Bay… and with our fellow practitioners from southern California!  This will be a 2-day, multi-spot jam (and BBQ!) to share some of our favorite SF and Berkeley spots with visiting traceurs.  Please check the forum for details and tips on rides and housing.  Beginners are definitely welcome! While unstructured and open, jams will still begin with a meet’n'greet and warmup, then end with a clean up time. Participants are encouraged to jam, condition, drill, have parkour-related discussions, get help from others, teach Beginners and just hang out.

Other Info

There are several weekly training sessions led by SFPK community members in San Francisco, Berkeley, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, and elsewhere around the Bay. Check out the Standing Jams and Classes & Instruction forums, as well as the 2010 Schedule for SF Parkour Beginner’s Classes & Monthly Jams for more info!

Monthly Jam

Hosted by the San Jose Parkour Team!  Will start early for breakfast and will be roaming all over San Jose with specific checkpoints at certain times if you want to skip some parts and still meet up with the group.  Check the thread for details and contacts.

The Monthly Jam is all about connecting with other traceurs, whether from other areas, cities, or communities around the Bay… and beyond! This is essentially a “National Jam” for the Bay Area. There are always regulars as well as new faces. Beginners are always welcome! Jams typically last 3-4+ hours, and while unstructured and open will still begin with a meet’n'greet and warmup, then end with a clean up time. Participants are encouraged to jam, condition, drill, have parkour-related discussions, get help from others, teach Beginners and just hang out.
