This group is a resource for anyone in and around Chapel Hill North Carolina who is interested in Parkour, barefoot running, evolutionary fitness, MovNat, paleo/traditional nutrition & cooking, martial arts (both standing and grappling), Crossfit style workouts, or all of the above!

Most people come to us because they are interested in learning more about Parkour, but we try to cover a broader range of skills and topics. We run, jump, lift and throw heavy things, climb, balance, crawl, vault, fight (nicely!), swing, and generally have a great time playing outdoors.

We also care deeply about good food and healthy traditional cooking. We go to farmer's markets, swap recipes, and gather to enjoy meals of pasture raised meat and local produce, prepared carefully and with love.

In short, we are a friendly tribe of playful health activists who care deeply about movement, food, and the health of our community. Please join us!
