Updates on the blog
With the parkour community continually growing and more people stepping up to be teachers and leaders – it’s time to start using our jams not just as times to meet up and train, but to share and spread quality information.
With this in mind, Parkour Visions would like to offer a national jam with something extra! In addition to being a time where you can come out to train and play, there will be several speakers giving presentations throughout the weekend. You can learn from some of the best educated minds in the Parkour community. This is a chance to see many of the training solutions that have been discovered by some of the most experienced traceurs and parkour coaches in North America.
The Parkour Summit is Friday, August 13th through Sunday, August 15th with extra training Wednesday, and Thursday the 11th and 12th for those who want to come early.
