Welcome to Overflux.com,
the southeast usa parkour community

(est. 2004)
Parkour, or the art of movement, is moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible using the abilities of the human body.

(click here to learn more)
It is meant to help one overcome obstacles in the surrounding environment—from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls—within rural and urban areas.

As a not-for-profit, community-driven organization, overflux is dedicated to the advancement of member traceurs (parkour practitioners).
As partners in training for parkour, we set up regular sessions open to everyone all around the southeast.

The Auburn Experience
Thanks to the Auburn guys for showing everyone a good time at our annual summer jam! Each time we meet there it just gets better and better, this time with a 4-hour gym session on Saturday and an amazing lake swim/high dive cool-down from natural training at Chewacla state park. Some stayed in hotels but many crashed at Cody R.'s place for the weekend so on behalf of everyone, thanks for housing us Cody! I hope everyone who managed to get to Auburn had lots of fun, learned something about parkour, and got back home sore all over. Lots of new faces and old faces... it's always impressive to see the camaraderie between traceurs and I know it's going to stay that way. Until next time...

I've also put lots of pictures on my facebook page... look me up and friend me (Amir Azari) if you haven't already to see them. They'll be up on overflux shortly as well so we can all have full size versions, but I think everyone appreciates the ability to tag pictures too :)

THE ITINERARY FOR JUNE 25-26
Jam Schedule - AUBURN, AL

Questions? Use the contact form (link at top)!Friday**Everyone gets in, as we have had a varying influx of people on the the friday of a jam, we might go for a late night run. Then again, we might just goof off. Who knows?


Saturday**9am** Meet on Samford Lawn at. (That's the front Main Bldg that you see on all pictures of Auburn.) We will stretch and do ground based warm-ups, there is little to do parkour-wise for a reason. We have plenty of time to train, lets do it when everyone gets there, also it will keep people from injuring themselves before everyone gets there!We will depart from Samford Lawn and head into campus around 10AM.
**Campus Training: We will explore campus, as well as have teaching sessions for newcomers while more experienced traceurs jam up areas within eye shot.

**Special Activity!!!**
There will be a short campus parkour course devised as a time trail course. This is not a competition per-say, it's more of learning experience mixed with some healthy scenario based work. We might get creative with it and add in items that one has to collect and carry with them while running the route!

**1PM** Lunch- There are plenty of healthy spots downtown of campus, as well as a pita pit, and Little Italy, for those on a budget, there is a McDonald's and BK downtown with a dollar menu.

**3PM** GYM TRAINING!!!! Lets face it- it's going to be HOT outside, so it makes sense to do the gym during the hottest part of the day. The fee is **10 DOLLARS** for 4 hours. We may or may not use the entire 4 hours. Afterwards we can either go back on campus to hit up spots we haven't hit, or break for dinner and come back to campus afterwards for a cooler night run.

**Dinner** -- I will be hosting dining facilities at my house. I will be preparing an extremely cheap, good tasting VERY HIGH PROTEIN Meal. The Meal will be a mixture of Baked Beans, Ground Beef, Onions, Bell Peppers, and Cheese to add if you wish. If you wish to eat this meal just throw me 1 or 2 bucks. Its the cheapest high protein meal you find, and you don't have to cook it! For those planning to cook their own, you're free to use my kitchen.

**We'll be having great fellowship and watching parkour vids on the big screen as well!

Sunday**9AM** Sore day Training at Chewacla!!!!!
Chewy offers a vast array of relaxing swimming, a high dive and dock to jump off of. As well as more challenging training, leaping from boulders and rock climbing. its 3 dollars to get in. Chewy is 5 minutes from campus so it's not much of a drive. We'll break sometime around lunch to go eat.... CHINESE BUFFET!!!!

What's that 70lb pull ups?! Yea I got them.

Gah, I dont know how I'm going to get up to 100lbs. Even if I have the strength I'mma need a beastly dip belt. I had to use two simultaneously today. Oh, and the went on a climbing wall right after. Needless to say. Arms = dead.

Hey, sorry I wasn't there today. We did a lot of leg stuff in Capoeira last night so today was a recovery day.
