What is Parkour and Freerunning?
Parkour is the essence of moving from point A to point B as fast, graceful, and fluidly as possible. It involves using all the muscles of the body to overcome all obstacles that come in your path. It not only makes you feel free, strong, and in control, but it is also practical-whether it be escaping from a dangerous situation or needing to scale a building to climb through your window after you've locked yourself out.
Freerunning uses all the bodies' muscles to challenge and defy physics by performing a number of graceful and technical movements in spectacular or rapid succession. It pushes your mind to the edge and forces you to overcome fear and take control over your body and mind. It is a very incredile and raw art that takes the core element of movement and exaggerates it to whole new levels.
Both arts were founded in the 1990's by athletic pioneers David Belle and Sebastian Foucan. Parkour and freerunning are not sports, but rather arts of movement- disciplines that help you achieve a truly fulfilled life. Competition is not practiced in parkour, as each and every person has their own style that cannot be compared to another practitioner, as well as their own comfortable level of progression. However, parkour cannot be fully explained in written words- to fully understand it you must experience it yourself.

Who we Are
We are a group of high schoolers in the San Ramon Valley region in California composed of a variety of traceurs (parkour artists), martial artists, freerunners, break-dancers, and climbers that have decided to take what we know and apply it further into our lives. We hope to share what we know amongst ourselves as well as with others so we may learn, teach and continue to improve our skills.
Our Goal
Our team strives to educate the citizens of the San Ramon Valley region in the ways of the traceur and freerunner and redefine modern society to make it less cautious and afraid, and instead more free and alive- willing to take calculated risks in order to achieve.
