Jump Rope Help

just like the speed bag and double end bag, theres a rythym you create and follow

 

Keep your hands near your body, stay straight (don't bend your back or in two), weight more on your toes.The lower you have to jump jump the better. I found that it much was like playing piano, or a musical instrument and there's a rhytim to it.

 

Oh I remember when I first started jump roping. I thought it was the hardest thing in the world. I was super impressed with people who could do it for 4+ rounds or 10 minutes straight.

 

Practice, practice & more practice.

Start off slow. Aim for 20 consecutive skips then 30 then 40 etc before you know it you'll be doing 3 minute rounds without thinking about it.

 

Its all about rhythm. You will eventual get good at it just practice alot :good

 

Practice. There's nothing else to be said.

How long have you been skipping rope?

 

I personally found not overthinking it and try and keep your jumps small

 

When I jump rope I look like a guy trying to kill a snake by jumping up and down on his middle, and that is after 20-odd years of practice, so I don't know how to make you better at jumping rope, but I do know this...
Your skill and ability at jumping rope has absolutely nothing to do with your aptitude for boxing and your likelihood of being successful in that regard. Any benefit you may glean from jumping rope, you can get the same benefit from other things, things that are boxing related, that will make you a better boxer.
If you are just there to get in shape, that's one thing, but if you are interested in being a good boxer, skipping rope isn't that big a deal. It is really only important if your goal in going to the gym is to become an ace rope skipper.
In my mind there are three big reasons behind jumping rope. The first is because it looks flashy and people used to pay to visit training camps to watch that on non-sparring days. Second, a trainer can occupy one some guys skipping rope for 15 minutes while he does other stuff with other people; comes in handy in a crowded gym. Third, if you are a 'fitness' boxing coach, you can take up half a guy's (or girl's) workout time while they skip rope and you watch them. They go home feeling tired, lose weight, get fitter, and you don't have to do much, and they never realize that your boxing knowledge is limited to...skipping rope.
I've used the 2nd and witnessed the third.

 

skipping rope is good for coordination (very important for boxing), it improves a footwork little bit, faster legs, it makes an habit for bouncing on toes which is also good for boxing. and of course, you can nicely warmup with it and keep you fit so, its very nice tool for boxers.

i was totally untalented for skipping, but dont get nervous, just mess up hundred times in a round, rest a bit, and then again, messing up after few weeks you will be much better, trust me.

very nice video for rope jumping:

Not trolling you ******. And actually the title can mean alot of things e.g when you skip your knee's or shins hurt what to do etc. Yes it can mean you cant skip but if you wanted a good title to avoid confusion you should havr tried "advice for a ***** who'r worried about his skipping" and by the way if you read the last 12 word of the 1st sentence i was helpfull. no need to be ungratefull
