We've always known about how motivated the ladies in parkour are, as well as how passionate we are about spreading their joy and teaching others who'd like to start. So much so that women all over the world organize regular training sessions as opportunities for women to meet up or have started online pages and forums just to let other women know that they are there! For example there is Streetmovement - Women (Denmark) that was started by Marie and Sussie, Traceuses in Sweden that recently organized a big weekend training event with 42 girls attending and PkGirlz (Colombia) consisting of a group of very dedicated practitioners. Funnily enough, PkGirlz' facebook page currently has no administrators because of a technological mistake, that is, one day the administrator and creator found her FB page in a foreign language and accidentally "left" her own group! But don't worry, Isa is still training and are many of the women :) And then there is the HUGE female community in Montreal who have been meeting up regularly to train for years but have only recently started a page Rencontres Parkour Montréal which is as small and friendly as you can get, but with 23 administrators, all of whom are regulars in the Montreal scene :) In Montréal's case, there is no chance at all the group will have no administrators through technological boo-boos. And now, there is Pink Parkour (France) that Stella, Thomas and Charlène have started in Paris!
These groups are only some of the amazing and dedicated female practitioners who have taken the initiative to start training groups so check out the GPK Links page to see if there's a group near you to train - and if there isn't, get your friend, grab a team mate or take out your dog and invite along your friends who'd like to start.
No website required :) (although it may help).
Happy training!
