How do it
The Kong Vault (also known as the Cat Pass, Monkey Vault or Kong Leap) is one of the most used vaults in parkour, but also one of the most difficult ones to get right. Kongs are useful to cover long distances between two separate obstacles and they could require either power and speed together.
1.
Run forward towards the obstacle.
2.
Take off with split legs.
3.
Swing your arms forward in a semi‑circle motion, while lowering your chest, and put both hands on the obstacle.
4.
Lift your hips in the air, slightly above your head or at head level, and tuck your legs.
5.
Push away from the obstacle with your arms and shoulders.
6.
Release your hands from the obstacle.
7.
Extend your legs out and prepare for landing.
