Kong Vault Tutorial

[Sniffle27]

Well, I'm subscribed. I thought your advice was awesome, and you are right, the kong vault IS just a mental challenge, I know I am able to do it but after watching and attempting your exercises I felt a lot more confidence in myself while trying this move. I am definitely going to the park to practice this as soon as the weather is dry outside.

[EpicSuccess2]

can anyone tell me if at 2:17 thats more of a monkey vault because thats what it seems like to me. just asking

[SgtGonji]

Tried this. Busted the hell outta my shins... It's cool, I'll try again tomorrow.

[987654321ag1]

if u dont get your knees together and if they are a little apart is there a chance of 1 hand acting as a pivot

[Mackhartleyhaha]

Awww sone, just did a Kong in my living room off one of our large wooden footrests. I was just playing around and then im like, wait a sec, is this the kong? made my sister video tape me and then showed me the video, and yes it was!

[xRonskiex]

The best Kong Vault tutorial I've ever seen!

[OwnageMrRadio100FM]

I have a problem with my kong (style). I can do a kong over a table (arround 1.6 meters) but i cant get my legs high up. they are always crouched together :( please help if u know how u can help :) !

[gun818]

mental blocks are most likely the hardest thing in parkour.

[Bapewatch01]

@gun818 dude, i have them all the time, annoys the hell out of me lol the way i cope with it is if im in standing there and ready to go but i have a block i take one step back and look away then i jump right in before my mind says no lol. cuz if u have a mind block and ur vault chances are you're going to hurt yourself :/

[jackooisawsome]

Im not even kidding this video is probably the only one that is able to get me to do that thing

AWESOME VID

subscribed

[Inf3rnal669]

I'm not afraid of my toes, i'm afraid i'ma smash my face on the landing! :P

[RayneMarie1]

I JUST DID A KONG VAULT, IT IS AMAZING, LIKE FLYING! :D

[TheMrFiggins]

Can anyone help? i cant squat down with my heels touching the ground..so how can i squat down with my heels touching to ground ? like how the guy did in the video where he jumped and squatted down on the table?

[ww54ww]

@TheMrFiggins It's ok. if you look closely, his feet aren't either. however, they seem closer to the ground because of his shoes. no shoe is exactly form fitting. it is probably sliding down a little.

[david97536]

I'm am feared from one thing and that is : I'm scared that I will fall on my head at the landing not on my feet so please help

[TheJewishAssassin]

It really is psychological. I know the technique and I have far more than enough physical strength, but I'm afraid of falling even if I know it wont hurt.

[MegaTarekHassan]

best tutorial evaaaar ive seen , finaly i did it :D

[sparkkid1234]

@UrbanCurrent: i've been trying the kong alot but still i cant get over the object. I think my problem is the momentum, when i use 2 foot punch take off it seems like my momentum goes upward not forward. All other techniqe is correct, the object is about stomach height. Any tips for me??

[henry12371]

alright so iam kinda fat and ive gotten into parkour but for the first step of this i can get my legs to be parallel and inside my hands , what happens is they land on the outside of where my hands are like my feet land inside but my knees stick out instead of being together :/ am i just doing it wrong or is it cuz iam fat?

[Backtrackgaming]

Im somewhat new. My first trick was a wallrun. So i should be able to do this, thanks for the tut

[TrickDemon]

@Backtrackgaming if you think that a wallrun will help you with a kong vault, you are wrong

[FB97XD]

Very nice tutorial thx you very very much its the best ive ever seen

[obito4th]

Woah dude This was sweet best Parkour Tutorial on Youtube

Thumbs up

soeveryone will not skip this vid :DD

Going to practice tommorrow

[giuice]

Nice man, best kong tutorial i found, thx

[rocki34]

It took me about an hour to learn it with this tutorial. I literally took the laptop outside with this tutorial preloaded and succeeded :D I still need to get my dive longer though

[GreekLover4100]

this video makes me feel more comfortable with kong vaults and when i saw this i did these techniques and finally i did a kong vault Ty a lot!!!!

[MrYael123456]

Awsome

[XxCoNtRaDiCTxX1]

[VeBluEvO]

you should do a double kong vault tutorial

[Soganite]

HO-LEY CRAP!!! I JUST DID A KONG VAULT!!!!

[TheLittleRedKing]

After 3 months of futile trying, I finally did a kong yesterday :)

[Naruto67ful]

@TheLittleRedKing I've done a kong vault only a few times in my life T.T.

[TheLittleRedKing]

@Naruto67ful haha, not to worry. At first I was scared to do them as well, but all it takes is the realization that you can do them, even though your frantic brain tells you otherwise. Keep practicing, and eventually you'll be able to do them without a second thought.

[DManDuck007]

@TheLittleRedKing Keep doing it so you don't loose the skill.

[TheLittleRedKing]

@DManDuck007 Kinda hard with the tables being all wet from dew and rain, but I do what I can :).

[xXArmoredslimewolfXx]

@TheLittleRedKing

i practice on the sofa XD only took me a week gj tho :D

[TheLittleRedKing]

@xXArmoredslimewolfXx haha, I don't have the type of couch where it's easy to practice on, so I had to take it slow :).

[Mellonator007]

@TheLittleRedKing thats awsome:), im still trying mine out.



[TheLittleRedKing]

@Mellonator007 Practice in a padded gym type setting first. I tried just going for it for about 3 months, and couldn't get it. Then one day I went to a gymnastics gym, konged over a block type thing, and next thing I know I had the courage to do it outside :).

[Obsidian113]

ozi you are the man

[jesusshank]

hey everyone, i just did like 12 kongs today and im realy happy :D. if u keep at it then it will happen, and it will be the coolest feeling in the world. it took me basically a year to do cuz i never really devoted time to it; probably once a week. you will fail and it will suck, but just get over it and try again. i was afraid of diving, but i kept putting my hands farther and farther bak and now i can do them! hope this helps people. also i learned from this tutorial, so they know their shit:P

[XxEpIcXSnIpEeZxX]

i can do it kinda, when i do the monkey stall i get half way across the table but ive done it before and smashed my shins so im too scared to just go for it :L help please...

[KozmikCloud]

16 people are too scared to try it

[arakhnist]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you very much! What's that decent chillout tune?

[TerroristsAbroad]

definetly the best tutorial

[finaltrinity5]

this channel and demondrills are my go to parkour guides

[Arqinho]

the best tutorial i've seen about the kong!! make more videos!! congratulations!!

[6ch6ris6]

is it better to jumpf off with on foot or with both feet?

i still havent figured that out by myself. but i am still a beginner and just getting used to make a kong over smaller obstacles.

[HaiiroKegawa]

What muscles do you need to do a kong vault?

[omoplata100]

@HaiiroKegawa all of them



[omoplata100]

@HaiiroKegawa all of them

[TheUltimateguy123]

you really make it look less

painfull to me though

[sk8ordie1300]

@UrbanCurrent when i do this my legs always go to the side.. how do i fix this.. Anyone who sees this can help. ill take any type of pointers. thanks

[W00DYMATE]

This kong vault is easyer than a monkey vault

Thanks

[ezkiller93]

@W00DYMATE Depends on the person. I personally like the monkey vault better, and I learned it easier.

[LOLOISTFUL]

best kong tutorial ive seen yet it gave me alot of confidence :D

[Things2doBeforeIdie]

at my first attempt, I kong-ed up the side of the table, but I couldn't go over the bench - I just landed on top of the table. I tried to go faster, but always landed on near the other edge of the table. To go over the table, should I place my hands futher to the otherside of the table? or should I just go faster and jump stronger?

p.s. I tried to split-step jump the kong, but ended up hitting my knees, what should I do?

[danny02463]

For some reason, my knees end up hitting my elbow thus hurting a lot and messing up my form. should I space out my hands or try to keep my knees more together?

Anyone else have this problem?

[omoplata100]

@danny02463

keep your knees together and space your hands just outside of shoulder width

[XxPepper17xX]

15 people tried this and fell on their faces.

[eastsideblaz]

@XxPepper17xX well i fell on my face but didnt thumb it down stop trying to get thumbs up

[HabeKeinMitleid]

Lol. I'm trying to do this on a coffee table, but it moves easily by my forward momentum so I never get to push with my hands so my feet never go past my hands... Lol. At least I got over the fear. Thank you. :)

(search proper parkour)

[parkourway]

Great tutorial! without it i wouldnt learn kong..just a note to myself i made soon: Never,Ever use the 1 leg take off. ....i hurt my leg and was grounded for a whole week

[TracesofLaces]

Awesome video! Great tutorial as well!:)

Following all these steps I learned this in about an hour and a half today in my backyard on a picnic table similar to the one in the video.

Once again great vid and tutorial

[ItsThatMormonKid]

I keep stabbing at the obstacle when im diving over....should i let my hands pass through fluidly? Or should i always make sure to pop my arms when diving? Also i have seen other videos, including double kongs and triple kongs. Their bodies are extended in the air, feet straight and at a 45 degree angle! Is it totally necessary to have them that straight and or that high?

[juggaloster13]

this helps alot remember practice makes perfect just dont be scared to do it

[iGlaube]

One park bench has never seen so much action

[panashe123n]

i cumed

[1337xmod]

hey moanalua high school is at the end! actually was doing this at their picnic tables today haha

[batty256]

Im 28 weight 179lbs and never did any gymnastics, but thanks to this tutorial I´ve just did my firs kong vault. No bullshit this tutorial is the best

[XwanXx]

ok well i used to be able to clear a whole pickinick table but now i just got the habbit to do it with two feet instead of one ......how can i break that habbit?

[victorhugomuzi]

master the monkey vault before trying this !

[AnttilaPK]

@victorhugomuzi Did you even watch this before writing? It's basically a tutorial for both movements since they both go by the same name -.-

[GunGraveTZA2]

Hey, thank you SO much for this tutorial. It's the best Parkour tutorial I've found so far because you break it down into so much detail. The warm-up REALLY helped get rid of my toe-clipping fear! =]

Have you done tutorials on any other moves?

[DeStRoTM]

@GunGraveTZA2 Yes, he did. Check out UrbanCurrent channel.

[TheAkib123]

How do u no wen to let go of ur hand position on the table? like move them off because i just slow down after i try this in the park

[aitkensE04xXxRecon]

thanks so much! although i managed to do the full leap in the first try but im still trying to manage the landing :)

[SuperG4mR]

I have a problem here, see I'm really tall and my knees/legs can't go between my arms because they can't get over. I have really long legs so instead of

(look from the front)

[Arm] [Knee] [knee] [Arm] | | U U | |

It goes

[Arm] [Knee] [Arm] [Knee] | | U | | \ \

Anybody understand? My left leg goes to the left.

[batty256]

@SuperG4mR Left leg to the left? your legs shouldent be passing between your arms, thats impossible for average people. Keep your knees together. When you dive, you touch the table with both hands and do a little push up to spin, arch your spine. Then take your knees to your chest together

[SuperG4mR]

@batty256 I meant a monkey vault because its a little different. My left arm Lifts up from the obstacle a little so my legs can fit through so my hip tilts to the left

[BlackInkz]

@SuperG4mR if you're having trouble with that then you need to try push your hips higher, then you will have more room for your legs, ideally your hips should be higher than your shoulders for this vault to work well

[DORC101]

I think u guys make the best parkour tutorials

[dudson27PSNaddME]

i the first time doing a kong of a bridge fell off the brige broke both of ma rists lol a whol year and more later .... today ive just konged a wall and then a pole and i was like WHOOOOOOO!!!!! LOL i was siked it was epic i flippin konged:)

[MrCroatianBoy]

hmm that take off ... i cant do nice kong when taking off .... even my friend he was the first who knew for that vualt when we started and he was doing it well with take off but when i started doing kong i didnt do take off and im doing it way better than him now i can also do double kong which is really easy but if i do take off i cant do shit o.o

[damienamarty]

Anybody have an mp3 link to that particular remix of the song?

[underworld3785]

@damienamarty well this video is silent and its just the song playing so just download it as a mp3

[damienamarty]

@underworld3785

I don't think it's the full song though

[Thunderfan101]

Wow, 5th tutorial i've looked at, and finally ive learned to do it. Great tutorial. Thanks man :)

[digbigpig]

This seems like its gona help me alot. Thanks

[duka951]

guys, i need help...my legs don`t go high as shown in the tutorial. I`m always, in a kind of crouched position. What I`m doing wrong?? tnx in advance :)

[Thunderfan101]

@duka951 Try jumping more horizontally, almost like your about to flop on the floor, but keep the height. Grab the object (easily a thinner rail or back of a chair) and bring your legs outward and through your hands. Right as they pass your hands, let go and try and land the jump. Hope this helped.

[duka951]

@Thunderfan101 tnx man, it did helped :) i finnaly did it right ;)

[Thunderfan101]

@duka951 Np, glad i could help. my advice doesnt always work out, but im happy it did for once, haha

[liuchaquan]

@duka951 Focus on getting your hips up.



[Jimmymillmo]

im very good at parkour but this move has evaded me for so long

[Jimmymillmo]

holy shit i just did it

[djcross1]

Damn good tutorial!!

[americanfreeflow]

anybody have a tip to get a better layout?

[xxjman1217xx]

My feet always hit the table. I think it's because I'm not getting my hips up high enough. How can I?

[soopa96]

Do you want to push upwards or forwards?

[apirakk225]

Good video

[skecthzack]

at 3:41 ma fren do that too..and failed! land on the ground with his mouth..now ma frens doesnt have a teeth!

[jamstamanify]

I have no picnic table

[2929xd]

ty so much, nice explain. Good job!

[pivotiano]

Is it recommended to put my hands as far as i can from my shoulder? for example... making it larger so my legs can get into it easier or should i place my hands shoulders-lenght?

[shitmaster321]

dude that was tight nice place 2 live man

[SaintRowRocker1]

I can jump over that bench without using hands

[RsNerdoff]

@SaintRowRocker1

Even if it was 4ft? 'O.o

[SaintRowRocker1]

@SaintRowRocker1 yep

[ev4n121]

Good video, now work on your spelling...

[Mdiala]

Ok, so about a year ago I watched this vid and could kong within a few tries. Midway between then and now I had a posterior spinal fusion (apparently I'm scoliotic). Now, I've watched this vid again and can only kong about 3 feet on my bed (the suburbs aren't very abundant with training spots, so I manage :P.) My bed's about 4'5. Each time I try to kong it I can't finish and end up kashing it. This is extremely frustrating. Can anyone help? Appreciate the answer if I get one :).

[ducminh51]

@Mdiala it is bcuz u'r afraid of landing ur face on the ground. Just relax ur lower body, push ur arms and when u leave the obstacle, land ur feet

[nTnaTionaL]

really so thanks :) that thing to trow other foot up helps me to learn kong vault (Y)

[legities12]

hey thanx 4 the awesome videos and tutorial's they help alot!



[LRRaptor]

i always smack my lower leg, and it hurt like hell :D

[frisbeepro23]

This has by far been the most helpful video i have watched. Thxs

[TheDylan1234]

this video is shite :(

[pwnz1ng]

So quick question. My legs are really long (im 6' 2") and my arms are pretty short, does this effect my kong vault in any way?

[obiwanfisher537]

@pwnz1ng no, i dont think so. I mean you get your arms and hips on a level and push with the arms, i dont think that it is important how long you arms are

[MrJofferson]

when doing a kong vault, is it natural for my weakest hand to come up b4 my strongest one? Or should i work on fixing that to where they come off at the same time?

[dalecanonrock]

Lucky you guys can do these stuff.

[OfficialJovi]

i have really long arms which makes it easier... but HUGE feet, which makes it so easy to get caught on : (

[cornwallfreerunners]

i got a problem i dive far but i can't get over the bench

any tips?

[MuCh0MaRAcAs]

please tell me what is name of this song.. :D

[OnEpicProportions]

It really hurts if you don't fully clear your shins past the obstacle. :\

[theAman9977]

@OnEpicProportions HAHA NO KIDDING! i just hit my knees.

[algammond]

@OnEpicProportions My left shin is bleeding right now

[XxEpIcXSnIpEeZxX]

@algammond, i know what you mean, if you catch your shins its hurts so fricking bad and makes you want to give up, i can do a monkey vault but not very high and i can do a kong vault on a picnic bench lenght ways but i cant clear it i can only land on the table, partly because im too scared to try and actually clear it , somebody PLEASE HELP :/

[TheShadowedOne1995]

@OnEpicProportions I know! :( But that's why you have to dive with your hips above your shoulders - it's hard but it is a nescesity!! (sp?)

[kailashpaul3]

@OnEpicProportions daz true

[ofnir123]

@OnEpicProportions yeah I know. my shin literally made a bump in the table when I first tried it. I had trouble walking for 2 days lol

[neWLoADinGx3]

i'm afraid of falling on my face when i see the high jump.

thats like a " plunge " at the floor

[TheBusinessKids]

What the heck? I don't feel like doing the 2 leg punch. At 2:06 he barely makes it over the wall, with 1 cm to spare! o_o

[kaki45szurtoscp]

i've always had a fear by hit my toes whit the table.

srry my english is not so good!

better then expert village .5/5

[Cooliespy345]

I actually got the palm spin down before this one, it was difficult for me.

[DonMachoz748]

when i dive my legs cant go trough my hands.they go to a side and then my kong looks like two-handed vault with a dive,of course. sry for bad english.

[pirhana360]

thank you so much, this really helped

[obiwanfisher537]

I already can do this, but i kissed the floor today cause my jeans :D

[Danthemanlyman7]

@reeeeegz

Sounds like your getting anxiety midway through the vault and afraid that your feet are gonna snag unless you turn to the side. These are 90% mental. Get over that mental discomfort just once. Once you get it right once, it's easy to do it again. Least that's how it was for me. Hope that helps.

[reeeeegz]

please can you help me i seem to always put my feet to side when i tryknoging which meens i cant do it unless there is a soft surface underneath can i have some advice ????????

[karimi2001]

WTF? EVERYONE IS REPLYING TO AD173 BUT THEIR NOT REPLYING TO ANYONE ELSE. lol AD173, if you look on each page of comments, there is at least 5 replies or something, YOU'RE POPULOR! not. jk

and ummm, i kinda have the same problem as AD173 so thx for the comments! XD

[KingOfDawn96]

I can do this on a table or something,but i CANT do it on a bar...im so scared :S

its a normal 1 meter hight flat bar(or rail idk if that is the same) but i don't know which style to use..two foot or split foot? im just scared that my toes will get stuck on the bar.I can't do the exercise like on the table.

help?

[nimsxmx]

@KingOfDawn96 This is kinda good to do, point your FEET backwards while konging and dig with your chest. feels really good :)

[KingOfDawn96]

I can do this on a table or something,but i CANT do it on a bar...im so scared :S

its a normal 1 meter hight flat bar but i don't know which style to use..two foot or split foot? im just scared that my toes will get stuck on the bar.I can't do the exercise like on the table.

help?

[xDAxR3AP3R]

My legs cant go in between my arms instead they go around my arms what do i do???

[DonMachoz748]

@xDAxR3AP3R u need to know how to do the monkey vault first

[UrbanCurrent]

@DonMachoz748 There is not diff, although we made a tutorial for it as well. The only difference is the speed you approach with.

[UrbanCurrent]

@DonMachoz748

[JeMzZ360]

i go more vertical than horizontial, how do i fix this?

[wanahuntley]

Hmmm since i start trying kong vaults ive realised, that not all dirt taste the same :D

[randomman665]

Nice dude I did this on my first try and I managed to proceed further to rails 3 days after!

[Tronixx922]

this was great help thanks :)

[codeman9010]

I'll try this on a picnic table. Itll be a very long time from now until I'll try it on a rail.

[HansumRob100]

my block is the hand placement, specially diving on to a pipe. miss... crack the face into the pipe handrail

[thenewgeogzm]

Got me over my fear of toe-bangin'

[stijelja123]

Thanks now I can show off 2 my friends!!

[TheMegaEliteMan]

Tip: whenever you kong try and put your hands as far back to the end of what you're konging so your feet can clear the jump. Thumbs up so beginners can see :)

[bloddyangel666]

ozzi you are the best man;D your tutorials helped me a lot after i watched your tutorials i must say that i know perfect monkey, dash,lazy,kong,etc. you are the best man in my historical life

[xXxDiukexXx]

guys I suggest you first develop some muscles in the arm and legs and you will see is more easy X3

[echogekowakaman1]

why did AD173 get 13 thumbs ups? that was a question lol

[hugy789]

@echogekowakaman1 Because other people probably habe the same problem and want it solved :P lol

[faquiado]

lol... the people these days. theres no tutorial for parkour moves, just throw balls without thinking.

[InSilenceOfEchos]

Ok, so I can get the distance but I can't finish because my feet clip the table, am I supposed to let go before I get to that point or do I need to work on pulling my legs in faster/better?

[starcrawler1]

@InSilenceOfEchos I'm just a beginner, but I had the same problem. Try bringing your hips higher. That's what I did and it worked, but I still haven't perfected it.

[DominikGabriel87]

Thx a lot!

Thx u i learned the monkey vault within 15 minutes!

Once of the best parkour tutorial videos i´ve ever seen!

Greetings from Germany

[foradalinha]

actually i learned to do kong like this: i get on the table then i jump in the kong position to land in the ground, then i got the swing so could jump without being scared.

[NICO13098]

best tutorial dude thx
