Monkey Vault

The Monkey Vault is a vault used in parkour which involves planting two hands side-by-side on an obstacle and bringing both legs in-between, shortly after pushing off with the hands. When the hands are placed on the object before the feet leave the ground, it is known as a monkey vault, however if the feet leave the ground before the hands reach the object, it is referred to as a kong vault.

The vault is designed to mimick the way a monkey walks, with their hands on the outside and then bringing their feet in-between their arms.
