Welcome to NCParkour! We are a community based on the discipline, parkour. Please feel free to read some training articles, figure out when the next local jams are coming up, and introduce yourselves on the forums.

What is parkour?
Parkour is using the safest, most efficient, and quickest movements to get from one point to another. Traceurs are parkour practicioners that develop ways to improve physically and mentally. Physically, traceurs push themselves beyond max repetitions of push-ups, lengthy precisions, and enormous kongs. Mentally, practicioners may overcome challenges such as fear. 

 

How do I get started?
The best way to get started practicing parkour is to try it out yourself! Find some locals who practice nearby so that you can develop an understanding of what parkour is, how and why it's practiced. Sign up on the forums to talk to traceurs from all around the state. Get involved in the community! Come out to training sessions whenever you're free. Share your thoughts, ideas, and opinions with the community by posting. Show up at state jams.

If you have any questions, feel free to post a message on the forums. Sign up now!
