Feature article and video on Bay Area Parkour (San Francisco, USA)

Jodie Rodriguez, Marisa Lee, Albert Kong, Justin Tang and Jason Wong were interviewed by Hyphen Magazine and you should watch this video for these reasons: the video is professionally edited and there's all the things we love: fluid movement, honest commentary and asian people running around and jumping on stuff. (ps: The magazine's theme is the exploration of the Asian American cultural landscape). Enjoy!

Ladies! Have you wanted to try parkour only to be discouraged by the overwhelming testosterone? Do you find it upsetting that parkour is a heavily male dominated community? Well here's your try parkour for the first time in a less macho atmosphere and make a dent in the gender imbalance in parkour.

SFParkour and the Berkeley Parkour Collective are hosting a free, all-female workshop where you and your friends can learn the fundamentals of parkour, focusing less on big moves and more on graceful movement. This 2 hour workshop will be designed to teach parkour with women in mind, emphasizing balance, gracefulness, footwork, progressive training techniques, basic strength conditioning, creativity, and exploration.

We will meet at 1:00PM at the Campanile, the clock tower in the middle of the UC Berkeley campus. Invite your (girl)friends!
