Learn how to kong, one of the most essential moves for beginners. Sorry i couldn't find anything bigger to show you a real kong over, but practice on a small thing to start off with moving onto larger things when you get over your fear of diving at a table.
EDIT
I have been getting alot of comments about the takeoff...i like the 2 foot method, and i use the 2 foot method and think you all should to...its more controlled and looks nicer...but if you want you can do a 1 foot method...this means rather than plant you take off 1 foot with a jump, although this lowers your body so you cant go as high even if you can go faster because it's easyer to keep momentem(which leads to problems in itself)

Generally, getting your legs parallel to the object is fine for most obstacles. If you want to get some height, you can either kick your other leg up or simply use the two-foot punch takeoff. It's difficult to get a lot of height with the split-foot takeoff when you first start using it.

@ParkourBlog 17 лет назад

Thats what all the bouncing on the end is for, it gives you the confidence to know that u'll make it

@kRaW139 14 лет назад

If your going to a really quick progression between jumps, one foot. but if your wanting it to look controlled and clean or doing it into something like a cat or prescision, then i think two foot would be better. it is also indivudal to each person in how they feel is best to do it and how they feel comfortable.

@HighPriestofApathy 15 лет назад

Usually I swing my arms forward in a lunge while taking off. It helps improve the dive momentum.

@nicky2800 17 лет назад

thinks for all the tips me and my friends r just starting to free run and we need all the tips we can get

@333halfevil5 16 лет назад

really nice tuts you have next weekend i'll hopefully be better(im sick) then i'll go out and find a place to learn this thx

@powerofthefro 16 лет назад

Awesome video, I need to learn this because although I do parkour I've never learned this. Thanks alot for the help.

@travisgoode 14 лет назад

after banging my knee about 12 times from not jumping fast enough and my knee hiting the side i finaly got it thanks for the Tutorial!

@Singonsk 16 лет назад

watched all your tutorials, and they are very helpful :)I really want to learn freerunning/parkour, but didn't know where to start. Now i do. Thanks man :

@ParkourBlog 16 лет назад

fence is a broad word, really practice wherever as long as you can jump the thing, its not 2 high or short and its stirdy as well. Make sure as well for it 2 b a kong you jump and then place your hands down

@Polairis42 14 лет назад

Seriously, I've been seeing this move for a few months now and I thought that would be so damn useful to know how to do, but I delayed doing it. So now I can do all these super badass moves, but I can't do this, one of the most basic parkour moves... damnit, now i must go learn it. Thanks for the video, it explains it better than most.

@juapi33 16 лет назад

hi, this is the best of all tutorials thanks a lot.

@mAdKaT689 17 лет назад

when i started to teach myself this i pulled one hand off when i cleared the table at first, then i worked into keeping it on and going the whole way

@pianoonparade 13 лет назад

it's an awesome tutorial.. I just couldn't help but think that.. people are gonna put their food (or plates) on that table.. lol. maybe people say it's bad advice.. but I learnt from it.

@JamesF87 16 лет назад

thanks, helped me learn and now im pretty good at em

@Epsio0 15 лет назад

Kinda like a longstride vault, but you carry your legs with you and get a bigger jump, as well as always facing foward.... simple enough, thanks ^.^

@pekerino2 16 лет назад

Man, thanks for that tutorial! I usually don't find tutorials on how to overcome fear in English. By the way some people take off with two feet, but you can also do it your way.

@thatparkourdude 16 лет назад

ahhhh I remember the day I first landed a kong. It was over a little one foot tall bench. Me and my friend were training and we were thinking of how to overcome the fear for months. the bench was at some woodchips. He went for it first and fell. He flipped out like OMG I ALMOST LANDED IT and I went for it on my first time I got it. To think that was amazing to me and now I can do it over pic nic tables

@BARTON943 15 лет назад

lean a lot further forward, this will bring you legs up abling you to clear larger objects.

@snipz113 13 лет назад

learning the kong was a bitch but i found that standing in an open area and keep diving to your hands and pushing yourself back to your feet helps increase your confidence and arm strength. that way you can dive farther and higher, try it it helps.

@ParkourBlog 17 лет назад

Yer, anything you can do to get rid of the fear is good, just remember constantly that you can do it when its obvious you can nd go for it!

@GzDaBawm 14 лет назад

@ParkourHero123 For longer obstacles, use a one foot take off. It gives you more forward momentum to help you clear the obstacle. For higher obstacles, use a two foot take off.

@daniman244 16 лет назад

wow!! thats really helped !! i tryed to do this jump for like a month but after this video i did it in like 5 min!!

@ParkourBlog 15 лет назад

this is a good idea and I may if i can find the right obsticles to do it

@avneet06 15 лет назад

Point taken, I'm from PKTO, which is in Toronto, and when we have a few tutorial videos up - I'll make sure that you get a chance to view some of them. Good luck with the parkouring brother.

@GNFart 14 лет назад

Thank you, you have a new subscriber, Bless you!

@Alumx 14 лет назад

tomorrow I'll train it, thanks :D

@Mintside 15 лет назад

This was awesome, i now nolonger fear the dive.. i did that before, but it's really not that difficult

@erjuanjojj 16 лет назад

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

@nuclearpsyche 14 лет назад

Thanks for the tutorial!

@harris4chase 16 лет назад

Thanks very much. This video helped me so much on them I decided to subscribe to u... and I can do Kongs! Thanks again!

@SuperCrazyRoy 14 лет назад

@Bigheadet I think that your problem can be solved by simply stop touching the obstacle just before your legs get between your arms, I mean if you're trying to pass your legs between your arms but leaving your arms in the obstacle then that's a cat leap-Dash. @sunshinestuntdub that's because you need to lift more your hips, you can achieve this by jumping with one foot in front of the other and finally pulling with your arms but to the front, not downwards (hope to be usefull :S)

@ParkourBlog 16 лет назад

just go through the stages in this vid, they help with the fear, and then its just a mind game

@tkdkadir 14 лет назад

Thank you very much. Finally i managed to learn it. Subscribed too ;)

@neilwee 15 лет назад

the purpose of the 2 foot method is for high things while the 1 foot are for longer distances :)

@nizan9714 13 лет назад

this is an amazing movie i learned from that how to do kong ty!

@jigsaw666puppet 15 лет назад

thnx ! this helped me a lot bro !

@ParkourBlog 15 лет назад

You didn't annoy me, i just get tired when people don't read the descriptions on videos, they're there for a reason. Your point in vaild, and no one had talked about it on this page...it's just i've dealt with it enough times in the last 262 comments...you can see how that gets tireing...i need to update tis video anyway tbh

@gkdrummerboy 16 лет назад

Pretty cool dude, 4/5 for me. It's hard to pick music that appeals to everyone so just pick whatever suits you best.

@OoOkEiiThOoO 16 лет назад

well it depends on if you want to be a traceur or free runner. if you wanna do parkour then jus perfect your vaults and parkour in general, (no flips) but if you want to free run then by all means practise flips. i like to try both as free running does look good. but its not practicle for getting from A-B.

@sergiocoelho_arts 15 лет назад

Nice Tutorial!

@chuckgreene11124 11 лет назад

in fact, jump with both feet will kill your speed this method just for beginners. when you have mastered the kong, you should jump with one foot and you will get more momentum to get over a longer higher obstacle with the kong.

@Jhakaro 15 лет назад

Oh yeah just so people know you don't have to push off with two feet generally for the monkey vault you do but for the Kong Vault most traceurs actually push off with one foot for distance and speed while sprinting into it although you can push off with two feet as well! :D

@ParkourBlog 15 лет назад

Somewhere you have got very confused. The kong is not a 'tiger jump' i can be called a 'salle de chat' (aka 'cat jump/leap' in english) but it is what the tutorial says it is. The jump you described doesn't really sound like a real parkour movement - it is ineffective. You me trying to describe a speed vault, but i'm not sure (no vaults have straight legs when going to the side, slows momentium).

@IzonTheGnome 15 лет назад

I would recommend jumping off one foot to get the splay. This will also help you with your distance Diving Kongs and it will help you advance much faster. Jumping off 2 feet was my biggest problem to get over. Just an idea. To see what Im talking about look up "Progression of the Kong" by UndeadZarlin.

@bboycarmos 17 лет назад

First of all, really nice vid, thx. I can get over objects with the Kong, but I always land right next to the object. How can you jump more forward?

@ironxhunter 15 лет назад

oooo thanks so much i wanna start free running i just came out of 4 years of tie kwan do, so i think i might be strong enought but this looks rlly herd but it aculy is easy way 2 go 5 stars

@abrahammond407 15 лет назад

this is my favorite move

@hippy49 16 лет назад

really helpfull TA

@TheStefan1996 15 лет назад

thx so much

@Suris69xxx 12 лет назад

@ParkourBlog well i saw on other videos, that u need to raise you legs more and make a bigger dive.

@camfoodooismrocker36 17 лет назад

great video, i tried but i wasnt smart enough to check if the table was stable though, i had followd all the steps up and it seemed solid till i tried the actual thing and when i jumped and put my hands down it tipped and i fell and broke te table and hurt myself lol

@GoodMoveMedia 16 лет назад

2 and a bit years and not broken anything but got 3 stiches in my arm wen i fell off a wall onto some stone steps once

@epten2 15 лет назад

could you please do a video on monkey vaults this video was excellent man !

@FanViolaTm 15 лет назад

good tutorial..thx ;)

@chaoswolf715 13 лет назад

@ParkourHero123 Big run up, and it took me like 50 attempts toget it perfect, try taking of from one foot for long obstacles and two feet for high obstacles

@ParkourBlog 16 лет назад

speed is not as important as form...or saftety any time i do it with 1 foot, i'm running fast enough that my single foot cant stop and i smash my knees into the table, my technique also uses blocking to transfer speed to power....read the description section on this if you have time

@SoulDragonWithFlow 14 лет назад

@sunshinestuntdub I remember when i was trying the kong. Couldnt do them for my life. Simalilr problem to you. Keept trying tho, and i got it after a while. I had to work hard for it but i got it. Im good at them now Try tilting your head more forward and coming in at more of an angle. Your jump should be as powerful as possible to start with, it should get your hips as high as possible and this will help you clear the obstacle. Hope this helps :-)

@SuperCrazyRoy 14 лет назад

the best is when you put your legs separated one in front and one behind it lifts more your hips and is more unlikely that your knees will touch the obstacle but you need more speed to reach the end of the table with that method and i don't like the 2 feet method because it slows me down and i don't know what you mean by the 1 foot jump, that's for the dash isn't it?

@ParkourBlog 15 лет назад

'Bail' is a word your mind uses Its like the word fail... Just remmeber that this can;t hurt you that badly and only bail if you really think that continueing will

@dabbiii 17 лет назад

Thanx man, you rock=D Good song for parkour video: Rob Dougan - Club To Death

@Bigheadet 14 лет назад

wow this is some good shit man youre a good tut video maker anyway i always seem to hit my ass onto the end of the object when i bring my legs through my arms during a kong vault can you help me out a bit?

@colbsta776 17 лет назад

thanks

@windwarrior0123 15 лет назад

thanks man that really hleped :)

@ParkourBlog 15 лет назад

fair do's, i dont do french and prefer using the english anyway. Salle sounded wrong. Saut it is, i was just trying to exspain why tiger may have been used.

@Fuzion180 17 лет назад

ye thanks for these tutorials :D

@iiCanTrollToo 13 лет назад

@ParkourHero123 Reach out Further, Run Closer To The Table, and also Try To take longer arm reaches on the table, always helps me! :D

@thenoobletlego 16 лет назад

Its really easy, trust me. I did it over somthing as high as my waist.

@ParkourBlog 15 лет назад

did u not click the more info part? The last paragraph is all about your comment... And no you didn't offend me..i just get so many comments on this that i made a section in the video description, and people still leave comments... Oh and if you'd read the right thing you'd know you were doing the opposite of 'helping'

@tiasmatte 17 лет назад

cool music.. i actually learned it by training on my sofa :P whats that song called?

@thecrazyToolfan 13 лет назад

@ParkourBlog i'm not sure what its called but isnt there a move where you put your hands out like a kong but twice once at the beginning and then at the end, you dive then use your arms to propel you even farther then the second time use your arms to lower yourself...

@thatsmrV 14 лет назад

i love seeing how much more popular porkour (free running) is getting. Im still the only guy in my town that does it though. :( gotta start introducing people ^_^

@ParkourBlog 16 лет назад

probably would, but its a very small table, and this is just a basic how to do tut

@866Infernus 12 лет назад

well, i can do the dive, but i still cant put my feet between my arms, im more used to my right foot than my left, and im also afraid of clipping my foot on the obstacle, i can do the side vault correctly

@K4Storm 13 лет назад

@ParkourHero123 I learned it in like... hmmmm... 4 weeks i think. Some tips how i managed to make it: 1.Have more speed. 2. train on the "kash vault" and try to reach as far as you can. 3. Dive into your object

@avneet06 15 лет назад

ParkourBlog, where are you guys from? Two foot take off's don't look anything as good as a split foot, and splitfoot take offs are with two foot also. How long have you been parkouring? I've personally been into pk for about 5 years, and strength training for about 3 of them. And the only way to truely kong is with a split foot take off. I'll make some tutorial videos this summer, because - no offense - i have found none that show proper form for most efficient jumps and greatest distance.

@ParkourBlog 16 лет назад

i don't personally, i know of girls who do parkour and i know a few of my freinds want to do it, but just cant b bothered. Girls can do parkour as good if not better then men sometimes

@ihavenonick3 14 лет назад

where is the music from? please tell me its so good i need it!!

@Meldrum2412 17 лет назад

you kong the same way as i do ! two foot take off i find it hard to do a running take off

@sportdrinkfruitpunch 14 лет назад

i dont get scared of diving but mostly hitting my knees or my feet getting stuck on to the rail then me smashing my face on the cement floor haha but really unique stunt.

@marzbite 14 лет назад

cool thx!

@Flat0506313609 13 лет назад

I can just about do very vault EXCEPT kong and dash, they just scare me if I faceplant my face!! Its like after ur over the object my head is like aimed at the ground!!

@ParkourBlog 16 лет назад

well other ppl might not want rock, metal or some techno. I can;t remember y i chose this song at the time, i'm sure one of the lyrics seemed to work with the song or something stupid like that, but yer if i was making this vid now i would probs change it,and ok so more locations and the like, klkl thats the critism i get most and am trying to improve and yer, i've got a few of them but want to re-do most of them and do a few more in depth

@wardogg123 17 лет назад

yo thx alot man hey how do u no when to jump casue i seen some video that they jump late and there whole leg hit the object they tryin to kong over???

@sommat 16 лет назад

I love to do this at benches when people are sitting . run from the back and land it perfectly sitting .there like wtf

@ParkourBlog 16 лет назад

read the description...i think the one footed take off method is dangerious, the 3 times i have tried it twice i have smashed my legs into the obstical. If you wana do it you can, i personally can go far enough with my 2 footed method and think its less dangerious and more controled

@ParkourBlog 15 лет назад

ye i do know where wigan is. Best thing i can advice for you is forums, search them and go meet with people who do parkour in your area

@TheVirtuoso883 16 лет назад

i always catch my feet only a tiny bit really annoying because i was so scared but i bit the bullet and then failed its really off putting

@quazla90 15 лет назад

whit 1 leg u will gain much momentum then the 2 leg takeoff

@idkwtf234 14 лет назад

i'm not afraid of the dive, i'm more afraid i'm going to hit my feet on the object and possibly faceplant. any tips? or could you make a video on how to get over this fear?

@avneet06 15 лет назад

You guys' seem to know you're stuff but i'd suggest remaking this video using a split foot take off. The two foot take off slows down momentum by such a great factor that it's almost pointless to teach it. I normally just teach people the split foot right off the bat. just incase you're unsure: split foot take off is when you swing your arms, and you're feet should be staggered, and the run is not interrupted during the kong. Also you're feet should land in split also. -Brownpk (pkto)

@ParkourBlog 16 лет назад

what could i have done better to make it 5/5 and wot music wud u hav prefered?

@ParkourBlog 15 лет назад

Sure is :)

@Capilee 13 лет назад

@sunshinestuntdub Your feet shouldnt be going through your arms for a kong vault... think of this move as a sort of elevating dive. Bring your hips UP

@ParkourBlog 17 лет назад

i'm sorry but i havn't made that video yet :s i need 2 make it wen its dryer this weekend

@TheAkib123 13 лет назад

if you were to kong vault off of somethin 5 ft long where do u put your hands, and how do u get across without slowing down

@GoodMoveMedia 16 лет назад

its the speed vs safety debate, i can block, so spilt foot and regualar foot gets the same speed to me, and the risk with split foot is slipping and smacking yourself on the obsticle you are trying to kong...I like my 2 foot and block method, it works, you can do what you want

@fisiek21 16 лет назад

i can do kong and monkey and few other vaults what should i do now? flips ?

@Almosteasyese 15 лет назад

exuse me i cant kong on somthing thts over like 2 and a halfeet wen i do my feet always hit the top and i end up just climbing onto it also wen i kong for some reason i lean to one side

@ParkourDenver 15 лет назад

it depends on the person "I punch off" but my friend Gallops into the kong, I can get a 10 foot double kong by punching off so its really the person. "check out my kong video"
