can someone help me figure out how to overcome my fear of the kong/monkey, and anything else i need to know?

my name is kyle, i have been a practitioner of Parkour for a year now. i am kind of overweight, and can do most vaults. i cant do a kong or monkey, and need some advise. i have pretty big thighs and cant tuck them to my chest really good. can you tell me an alternative or better way to execute it? i am pretty sure i can do it, but i want some professional help first. gotta walk before you can run, huh?

Well. I have been practicing for 3 years and I still am afraid of Kong Jumps!
But all you have to do is:

1. Run.
2. Put your hands on the object.
3. Jump.
4. Tuck you legs in.

All that in 1-2 seconds!

But you know what? If you already know other moves than who cares about Kong Jumps? Heck, just jump over the table or anything, anything that lets you get away from bad guys!
