What is my son or daughter getting into?
A. If you’re totally unfamiliar with Parkour, you’ll probably want to read more about what Parkour is by exploring The Newbie Guide to Parkour and Parkour History (in our forum). This should give you a sense of what Parkour is all about. We hope you will take away from that information that, foremost, we firmly believe in and practice Parkour as something deeper than a sport. Parkour no doubt offers an excellent physical workout but also a positive, supportive, multi-generational, creative and non-competitive community. It is not a team sport, but while it can be practiced solo, there are always opportunities to train with, teach and learn from others. If your child’s experience is anything like that of the many traceurs in the Pacific Northwest, he or she will discover a widespread group of interesting and talented people, make some new friends, and improve his or her physical fitness by (quite literally) leaps and bounds.
