Jam

Saturday, 19 November 2005

A jam is a gathering of traceurs for the purpose of training and socializing. It is often a larger group (smaller groups are often referred to merely as training sessions) and the purpose is to motivate and learn from each other. This relates to the common musical usage of the term, where musicians build upon the style of one another in order to create a merging of styles and a new, improvosational song.

yup yup, although to just look at it as a gathering might give it a smaller meaning. my teams jams(for example) include a good half hour sometimes of socializing. then me or someone else will shortly discuss what were going do(practice a focus movment or just move) and then we may spend aout and hour doing it. we've even had jams were we studied flowing through an enviorment and running through open spaces and the jam not only lasted all day, but we latered spent the night a a freinds how together and woke up the next morning and contiued the pratice.
