This week at PKV: climbing/swinging, jumping technique

Jumping is tons of fun, but how do you overcome obstacles taller than you can jump? Yep, by climbing. This week's basics classes will cover climbing and swinging technique. Come climb our Freeway Park boxes and swing around in our scaffolding!

In Level 2 and 3 classes, we'll work on jumping technique: level and step-up precisions, diving step vaults and kongs, and strides.

Are you thinking about coming to PKV for the first time? We've got a first-time basics class for adults on Sundays at 10:30 where you can learn all the fundamentals.

This week at PKV: big vaults, lowline and climbing vision training

Amazing speed, super clean routes, big jumps/strides, cool architecture, classic parkour. He's like a french Philly D:

This one is cool for very different reason: it's a tremendous demonstration of vision: of finding many ways to use a relatively simple space to challenge and develop yourself. The coordination and flow and creativity are beautiful:

This week, our Basics classes will cover what we call "high commitment vaults": kongs, dashes, speed vaults, and the like.

Level 2 classes will focus on creativity and vision using lowline techniques.

Level 3 will explore creative ways to negotiate climbing environments.
