Beginner’s Class
Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 12 noon @ UC Berkeley
http://www.sfparkour.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3596
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!

Monthly Jam
February 21, 2010 - 11:30AM @ San Jose
http://www.sfparkour.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3601
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.

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!

We need your input! Help shape and grow the SFPK community by contributing ideas to the 2010 Planning thread.

Join SFPK in the Bunkers Restoration Project on 5/16 @ 9AM http://www.sfparkour.com/blog/2009/05/11/volunteers-needed-join-sfpk-in-the-bunkers-restoration-project-on-516-9am/ http://www.sfparkour.com/blog/2009/05/11/volunteers-needed-join-sfpk-in-the-bunkers-restoration-project-on-516-9am/#comments Mon, 11 May 2009 20:13:26 +0000 Corndogg http://www.sfparkour.com/blog/?p=113 What
SF Parkour is partnering with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy to give back to one of our favorite hot spots by restoring a popular trail here: the Batteries to Bluffs trail. This is the one that goes down along where we hold our “Bunker” jams. This is a great way for the parkour community to give back at one of the places we use a lot, so let’s all get out there and represent by improving the area. It also happens to be one of the best places around here to jam, so at noon when the trail restoration ends we’ll have a jam there. Bring your friends, bring sunscreen!

Plus, this is good timing because the West Coast Regional Jam will be held here the following week, so it’s our chance to spruce it up a bit first.

So show your community spirit and join us at 9AM at the Bunkers (aka Battery Godfrey).

When
Saturday 5/16, 9AM to noon.

Where
Battery Godfrey at 9AM (that’s where there’s the parking lot and usual meeting location).

What to Bring
Tools, snacks, and beverages will be provided. Please wear clothes that can get dirty, long pants, close-toed shoes, layers for changing weather, and rain gear if necessary. Also, bring a personal water bottle and sunscreen. Sounds like there’s a waiver we sign there, but TBD how that works as it’s a special group thing they’re organizing for us.
