The Beds, Herts
and Bucks Parkour Community is foremost a group of people who desire
to practice and learn from Parkour and from each other. Parkour is a
method of training that can help someone to overcome any obstacle in
thier life, be it social, physical or mental, by first teaching them
to overcome physical obstacles with movement. It began in France in
the 1970s and has since spread across the world.
BHB Parkour is the result of
combining three independent communities;
Herts Parkour - Originally
SA:PK (St Albans Parkour) the Herts Parkour community has been
steadily growing and developing since 2003 and is now one of the
largest single groups of practitioners in the UK.
Beds Parkour - Developed by
the Enigma team, the Beds Parkour community have been around since
early 2005. With a focus on good training practice and creating an
enjoyable and welcoming community Beds Parkour and Herts Parkour
have long been closely linked.
Bucks Parkour - A relatively
young community, Bucks Parkour has all the right elements to develop
into an exciting and progressive community in it's own right. Now
with the support of Herts and Beds and the strong foundations laid
by it's early members Bucks is the one to watch.
Our combined aims are
simple; We intend to improve the lives of the people in our
community and around us by spreading the positive message of
Parkour. We aim to encourage the physical and mental development of
our practitioners with a focus on creating strong bonds between
individuals and groups. We aim to provide opportunites for our
members to broaden their skills and persue their interests. We
ultimately aim to create a safer and more positive community for the
Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire counties.
We welcome anyone to become
a part of our community. There are many ways through which you can
get involved. The BHBP forum is the place to get talking about
Parkour, arrange to meet up with local practitioners and discuss a
wide array of topics with the entire community. We offer various
classes for people who would like to try Parkour in the safest and
most controlled way possible. Parkour class information can be found
on the BHBP hompage.
If you would like to see some examples of
Parkour in practice, media created by the community can be found on
the media page. Finally if you would like to contact the BHBP team
