How to do Parkour : Parkour Training : Kong Vault

[Parkour3RunTeam]

I'm not a bir to fly xD Ic an't do it

[brichark]

HE IS BOUNCY!!! cheater

[Wicachow]

I love how he has the same face for every video thumbnail

[taylorbugg11]

i hit my forearms trying to put my legs through

[Tomik080]

do they really have 140 000 videos O.o

[A2HEIJI]

but the only thing that scared me is to smash the face on the floor (and that hurts,believe me)

[NivronTheFreeRunner]

im just 9 years old and im doing parkour lol

[A2HEIJI]

I'm a little bit scared about this vault. D:

[DasNeueFeuer]

@A2HEIJI of course you are. I am as well :b we're all alittle afraid of clipping our knees or feet on the edge of the obstacle, but I guess it's simply to do it.

[KillerPROduction1]

I tried 1st time but with pillows in the becnh and a mattress in the other end just to get used to it first

[iDefuzzle]

OMG its Hutch from Machinima Respawn :D

[killboyak47]

cool

[devster117]

i skipped the monkey and went straight to kong.. i felt like a boss

[RayneMarie1]

kong vaults scare me...I'm afraid that I'll catch my feet on the bar or obstacle...what should I do?

[aweston2012]

@RayneMarie1 The best thing to do in that circumstance is to try it. Im not what most would consider an "athletic" person, but I did not let that stop me. Did the kong vault on my 27th try. I face planted a couple times, but that is why grass was invented. Give it a try!

[RayneMarie1]

@aweston2012...haha that's definetly good advice! Today I tried it over a small bench and it worked! I can't wait to try it on bigger things! :D Thanks!

[Legystarcraft]

@RayneMarie1 keep your head down,like don't bring it up,because when you keep it down your spine is naturaly made to be in a straight position,so your legs will come down when you bring your head up.

[RayneMarie1]

@Legystarcraft i never thought of that.....hmmmmm(shuffles over to railing)

[shuriken198]

HELL YEAH! i did one and i was so proud like when i landed my first frontflip lol

[gamegeeko]

ii face planted: (

[NightmaRun2]

Thanks To You :3

[arfrur22]

my arm broke cuz doing this Vault becouse when i do 0:04 my arm collapse to the opposite way

[orangepoop33]

man did my 1st vault over a picnic table today then by mistake i did a kong and i was like dam that was fun lets do it again.

[RuneVisor]

i find it difficult getting my legs through my arms... any tips?

[VELOCITY87Ent]

@RuneVisor get higher on the jump

[robertcooperfication]

@RuneVisor yeah, what you wanna do is get your hips over your head hight and let go with your hands just as your legs start to come 'through' have fun (im 12 so im sorry if i got it wrong as i only started parkour/freerunning last year!)

[MrLewisMovies]

Should i learn Monkey vault or Kong vault first?

[rad0ri]

@MrLewisMovies monkey



[MrJimtoons]

I can kong and I'm only 11years old go to my channel

[xDutchInfinityx]

Pretty good guide though, thanks man ;)

[iWassupTV]

I did this and injured my leg severely lol ...

[Ry4nHatesIlluminati]

kids... stick to your monkey bars... then you do the KONG VAULT.

[KozmikCloud]

76 people have tried this and failed...including me :( BUT I DIDNT DISLIKE

[BoyleJimmy]

@KozmikCloud i'm gunna try and do this... so u probably won't be alone

[midodigi]

this guy looks like sheamus xD hhhhhhhhhh

[BurningJellies]

Sweet! I can't belive I can actually kong vault! My 2nd vault. A couple vaults each day for a month finally paid off!

[WolfDemon1314]

I mastered it in three days

[uffy4]

press 9..

[ILikeGuns23]

i can do the kong vault :)

[RaNdOmPaRrOt1]

Make that 73

[Reksdeejay]

i did it at home over my kitchen counter (first time) landed pretty good. my mom was like what the fuck did u just do!

[xl0lzT3rHD]

@Reksdeejay lol :P

[frozenheat90]

@Reksdeejay you must have a rather large kitchen haha

[littlejoey111]

them 66 people were not doing it right

[BADKALOS]

very easy i make it

[nathninetyone]

near 400000 views for one of the worst videos i've seen.

[headshots9826]

OORRRRRRR, you can walk around it

[xundarz]

i actually tried this and its not very difficult... the most difficult part is jumping from one foot for distance.

[wondrer100]

u forgot about the faceplant

[dizzyblad2k8]

lmao HUMBS UP dont get it mate >>

[BulletAlchemist1]

PARKOUR IS GREAT !!!!HUMBS UP!!!!!

[Adi33ist]

I and my partner have started work parkour about 4 months ago. My mate did a monkey and fell on his face .... I have a fear now that I do, I know the rest except backflip and frontflip, and monkey kong vault ..... what can I do that I can do monkey and kong??? pls answer me!!

[PureAlbanianWarrior]

@Adi33ist A bunch of videos say to bring your head down a bit past your shoulders when doing the monkey vault so your legs can get picked up a bit higher, and that should help. When landing land on the balls of your feet and tilt your head back up since it's the bodies natural reaction to place the feet down.

[BADKALOS]

@Adi33ist i was having the same fear at the first time the only think you can do about it is training

[HardStylePheoX]

ohh shit... A couple of days ago I did the Kong vault and didn't take off right and hit my both knees to the wall ;/ Good for me nothing bad... :D

[dannySMB91]

my friend could do this easily...i suck even i haven't try it...

[XxSolid3nakexX]

71 people puched there bench and broke there hand

[MrFofofofofofofofo]

Just go slowly , approach every obstacle with fear and a little respect , and just work the obstacle . And practice , practice , practice ! Nothing else ! You can do anything with enough practice and repetition ! ;)

[ScrewedRandomness]

Note: If you are a starter and instantly try this, don't. I tried this and the second I "punched" the table, I slipped and almost faceplanted. So at least wear gloves with more grip.

[kyubipalex]

@ScrewedRandomness HA :D i was getting taught this over a boulder and i never came close to slipping...but maybe cuz its a boulder...

[jordyskatelord]

you can practice on the arm of your sofa as its soft and a a good height. then you can build up your confidence to having more airtime before doing the vault

[MaTsNiPeR13]

@jordyskatelord I LOVE YOU! i was scared of smashing my face on the hard floor but i tried it on my sofa and now i can do it, thanks bro

[jordyskatelord]

@MaTsNiPeR13 sure dude glad to help, if you want any tips on vaults and stuff just inbox me, ill be glad to help :P

[soboringman]

It's hard to get used to the fact that you HAVE to dive to do this over longer objects (or else it'd be a monkey). I was practicing this yesterday and hit my shins and they still friggin hurt!

[OmegaHPK]

holyshit..its MLW!!

[dwownsath3]

I was training to do this on my bed because I was afraid of face planting, I have some dumbbells on the other side of my bed. I did it, so well that I cleared the queen size bed and crashed into the dumbbells. FML

[Luraj7]

this is easy, try it, theres nothing to be feared of seriously

[Landyachtz12]

I dont know if i should try it.. has anything bad happen to someones face when there first trying this

[Jongeruz]

@Landyachtz12 The worst I've done was take off late and hit my knee. Only a minor bruise though. You have to be able to take a hit everyone in a while.

[SuperSkilledGamer]

I love the names for these moves... :D

[JCGWDM]

fricken sick... the only problem is if your foot gets caught... you got a messed up face right there.

[MrJamster415]

My friends made me practice it without using one foot they said that i HAVE to jump stop on two feet at the same time and then leap onto it, is that true?

[unstoppable008]

@MrJamster415 Nope, I do it with one foot. It's really just preference.

[Jimmymillmo]

@MrJamster415 truthfully youll have better results with two once you practice it but start on one and go into 2 when your ready

[mikesoccerstorm]

make sure your hands don't literally "go through your hands" as in between your arms like it says in the vid. Your hands should be off the object way before your legs get past the same point. If you try to throw your legs through your hands while your hands are still on the object you will hurt yourself, and its gonna suck. Just to prove this watch from 0:30 in the vid, and you'll see that his hands are off the table before his legs pass over it, good luck guys

[MrShadowReaper1]

I've tried this. EPIC fail....

[martinteetow]

# 9 duhhhh?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

lol

[hammerkbitchs]

i dont know why but the kong vault is way easier for me than the monkey vault

...is that weird

[watevasl]

@hammerkbitchs Same here man, no it's not weird. A Monkey Vault make you feel like your feet are gonna hit whatever your jumping over, but on a Kong Vault your feet are much higher because you're diving into it.

[Jimmymillmo]

@hammerkbitchs not at all the kong you have momentum mokney your depending more on muscle its normal

[hectorthefirst]

press 7 funny ass helll!!!!!!

also press 9 funnier

[Razorsharp445]

Useful for when I'm late to school and the traffic light is so damn far and the only thing separating me from the main gate is a barrier on the road

[Severinth]

Hey, i just started on parkour, and i can do some basics. do you think it is nessasary to take classes on it?

[GoEnglandWales]

@Severinth Just start out small, work your way up to bigger things, taking classes isn't necessary but could help when learning to your body's momentum and flexibility  to pull off some more advanced moves. The key is practice and confidence. And having the ability to take a hit every once in a while.

[Trebgah]

@GoEnglandWales A men! Got hit where the sun don't shine just yesterday! Doing a vault over a rail. Only got one leg over. :(

[Frenando50]

@GoEnglandWales And possiably a face mask =3

[TheSameDamnGuy]

@Severinth ive seen the classes and its usually just fun, not really necessary but if you want a group of people to just mess around and have a good time with, then id suggest it.

[ThePivotRR]

69 people while doing kong vault the table get broken

[DatMafiaKitteh]

lol 69 dislkes

[OmegaChi08]

without some accidents you can't do parkour

[MichaelJacksonTimpan]

This is so annoying. I HATE MENTAL BLOCKS! I can do this inside with soft mats but doin it on a bench or a bar makes me think of face planting. Any help?

[michaelsk8sk8]

i tried it 3 times once i tried it on a ladder that i usually use to try vaults..its a custom later..it fell over..and i face planted..next my foot got caught on the rail and i did the same.then i almost landed and i blinked and ran into a wall as i regained balance

[mysticlycn]

how do your videos get so many views!!! they are all like 40 seconds and dont go into detail what-so-ever.

[MichaelJacksonTimpan]

@mysticlycn I know this sucks but it gets so many views becouse its expertvillage. Its a company that have done about 140 000 videos. And its sponsored and often appear in the right

[lebel30]

!!! MIAMI FREERUNNERS @  OUR CHANNEL !!!

[nzman101]

hmm, i'm starting to do parkour, but I really don't want to try this because my elbows will give out and i'll be on my face :/

[an1kay]

@nzman101 your elbows shouldn't give out....it would be your muscles. Also, if you can do a push-up, you can do this.

[Mybreakfast8me]

@nzman101 Thats what I thought at first but it's really quite simple.

[AstekOst]

@nzman101 no you won't belive me...i tried this and it's really easy!!! just jump into the monkey :D if you can do the monkey than this will be easy...belive me when i say to you this: almost no extra pressure on your elbows when you jump onto something...you can first try with leaning yourself much forward so you basicaly do a monkey but jumping a bit further from the obsticle...sorry for bad english...hope i helped :)

[NextTightEyez09]

I got mines on my first try never failed cause i know wut can happen and i dont wanna know wut a faceplant feels like..lol

[chrismccarty96]

@NextTightEyez09 you dont know wat a face plant feels like?

[NextTightEyez09]

@chrismccarty96 have u faceplanted before

[ekojk1242]

My legs fly around when my leg is at the back. Is this a problem?

[WWW091]

i finally got it down



[MINIGIGIBuffon]

Watch my King kong, 13 years old: watch?v=wO9s9qIwTdA&feature=ch­annel_video_title

[SkilledMalinguanhaze]

I can only find one fence in my area with a good challenging height ( my chest height ), but there's a problem... it's covered with barbed wire and surrounded by rough tarmac.

[98cubanito]

thnks it helped me alot

[Donny1543]

god i hate my area...no good parks for 10 miles around and only 1 gate/fence to work with >.>

[jordanlang2]

This is my favorite vault. I just love seeing how big i can go. At my class I put 2 back handspring 3/4 circles and see how far i can go.

[republican728]

Do a good shoulder deflection.....with you shoulders

Lol

[matthewsolis247]

@republican728 nah...ill do a good shoulder deflection with my lower bicuspid...

[RaNdOmPaRrOt1]

66 people have tried this and face planted

[BrowniePunch]

@RaNdOmPaRrOt1 the other 2 people tried this and missed the table completely

[DarkWarLock1000]

@RaNdOmPaRrOt1 68 People got Slipped,Faceplanted and Failed in trying to be cool.. And embarrassed in front of Everybody.. Because they are stupid enough to understand they are Fat.. and Want to Exercise through Parkour..

[chrismccarty96]

[MrSkulledvideos]

[cas123321]

[46587985231]

@cas123321 Just press up you fuck tard and everyone already knows so dont even ask for thumbs up.

[cas123321]

@46587985231 obviously u got anger management problems. i never asked for thumbs up u moron. i'm sure not EVERYONE knows how. and pressing up doesn't work. fagget

[46587985231]

@cas123321 Hey buddy, first off you could learn to spell, faggot is what you meant to say I'm assuming. And secondly YES. It DOES work, I know that because I actually tried it and succeeded BEFORE I made a stupid ass comment. You must be the moron.

[cas123321]

@46587985231 yeah like people actually care about spelling on youtube. If ur gonna bitch about my spelling, u spelled don't wrong. seriously if ur gonna go onto youtube and bitch about peoples spelling; fuck off. no one gives a fuck. ur the only one here thats actually bitching about it. fuck off

[xiHaste]

Im afraid that my body will embalance while in air thus making my head go straight into the ground

[HIGHvoltage624]

@xiHaste I did that well training

[cas123321]

he actually kinda looks like a monkey...

[Skyrazalius]

@cas123321 thats why its called monkey vault xP

[cas123321]

@Skyrazalius haha yeah XD

[CalLumpyK]

@Skyrazalius bull shit

[kingcorey100]

practise at a beach

[mikailedge]

how to jump higher?

[adrte444]

@mikailedge With the foot.

[mikailedge]

@adrte444 i meant how to train yourself to jump higher

[CalLumpyK]

@mikailedge do more pull ups and sit ups.

[TheRemaReca7]

I learned with my instinct

[lebel30]

 !!! MIAMI FREERUNNERS @ OUR CHANNEL !!!

[mikesavailable]

I want some of those t-shirts for my group from san antonio

[mediamonkey667]

@josh2006master i can do it and im only 12 and its a vault , anyone can do it unless you have physical problems

[josh2006master]

i SOOO don't have the physical strength to do the part where you put all your wieght onto your hands while trying to avoid sliping from the forward momentum

[Episcopicide]

@josh2006master Look up, "Frog Stance/ Tuck Planche exercises." They're kinda difficult at first, but they're ment to help you hold full body weight tension. I'd suggest finding them on Youtube or google. There's plenty. Just practice, practice, practice. it kinda takes balance at first and some weight transfering skills. But like I said. I started this exercises weak as hell as a beginner. And after practicing it for long enough, that last part of the kong is a breeze. Good luck! Train hard!

[mrWorldofWacraft]

Hi, when I do this, I usually get my legs stuck, why is that? Or if not stuck, then I get like this auto reflex which I can't control, I lift my right hand up.. so it's not a Kong vault, can anyone please give me any advice, I can do all the parkour moves, exept this one, so yeah I would really like to learn it. I've been parkouring for about 4 months.

[nimsxmx]

@mrWorldofWacraft Put your hands at the very end of the block,table whatever your trying to clear

[Erilis666]

@mrWorldofWacraft hm... first, never use the "C" word ;)

You CAN control your body. Maybe try doing it real slow first (like slow motion), think of what you're going to do first before you head into it.

Maybe try to lift your left hand instead of your right. Visualize you're right hand is rooted to the surface once it meets it.

[maciscool34]

way harder than it looks.

[vetis24]

@maciscool34 no its not i learned this on my 3rd try, what i did was put one trash can down then two so i learn my dive technique on it

[kiloe7]

I did this before even knowing what Parkour was lol

It's really easy, the secret is don't think about it. Just do it, it comes naturally trust me

[minikid123]

@kiloe7

Yeah, I do training for this vault and usually we tend to be way to concious of what will happen, but when we just go for it without thinking we have better results

[wecanfreerun]

very easy to do you just need to pass that point of being "afraid"

[Connor74681]

@wecanfreerun ik what you mean when i was learning the monkey vault i woudl come soo close but stop then one time i just said fuck it i can do this

[prokiller1499]

your vidz are good because u tell us how to do it

[uros160]

imagine the guys face if he would miss the hand contact part xD

[rockstar88ify]

every body check out american parkour

[rahascar]

i just jump over lunch tables.

[Erilis666]

@rahascar occupied lunch tables? :)

[rahascar]

@Erilis666 occupied with food?

i reach down halfway thru at take a slice of pizza

[KamiQ15]

-.-

[TKD422]

im thirteen and i know just about all the basic vaults like kong, monkey,lazy,barrel,quadripedal­, dash,two handed, one handed, and a wall up and a tac

[TKD422]

i cant see the difference between a kong and a monkey vault

[WeLiveForParkour]

@TKD422 @TKD422 with a monkey vault, you run up to the table and put your hands on before your feet leave te ground. with a kong you dive onto the table so you dive frist and then put your hands on
