    Skip in the video to 4.48 and you see Duran squat skipping like an absolute animal. My skipping is pretty decent and can do a few tricks nice and fast but I would love to be able to do this.

    I have started practising low squatting to gain the right kind of leg strength without the rope...next step is to bring the rope in...any advice as to how I can get this improved and how he makes it look so good??

    ps watch the whole video - Duran was a legend!

    yeah I tried that a few times because my skipping is "fast" but I just can't do it low, or at least if I do its slow as dirt and looks stupid. pretty awesome stuff, great great great fighter.

    You'd only be able to do it doing double unders I think, as Aramini said it's slow so you need quick hands and make the squat as quick and powerful as you can

    I can do and do a similar move. took me along time to do it however the rope in my case isnt actually passing under, i do the movement where the rope goes to one side. Its really difficult to do that what duran doing there is just something else entirely lol awesome

    sorry thinking about it the rope does go under as you jump up from the squat you can swing the rope under

    I'd like to develop my skipping a lot more- I can do double unders and cross overs but thats it.
