Bay Area Parkour (BAPK) has the largest number of active parkour practitioners in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are an amazing group. We help each other, we look out for each other’s safety and we train together...a lot!
The traceurs and traceuses (parkour practitioners) of BAPK share a ‘beginner mentality’. We are always looking to advance our abilities, but we are humble and willing to put in the hard work of slow progression. This group does not take any short cuts in its training and does not show off. We are smart, safe and strong in that regard. We believe this beginner mentality is very important to the growth of a traceur/traceuse. We are all beginners, even those who have been training for several years. Training this way forever will allow for longevity in parkour. Because what use are we if we are injured?
We encourage thoughtful discussion on this site, but make decisions on issues affecting BAPK in groups outdoors by active practitioners, not remotely on internet forums. Steering the scene in this way ensures that the people who are training regularly benefit the most. This site is not about the ideas of any one person; it is about the parkour community.
These community elements set BAPK apart from other groups that use the name of parkour without practicing its ideals or fundamentals. When you come to a BAPK session, you can expect a friendly and inviting group of people who are always willing to help beginners. We would love for you to come train with us!
