Jump rope From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search An 1800 depiction of jumping rope A jump rope skipping rope or skip rope is the primary tool used in the game of skipping played by children and many young adults , where one or more participants jump over a spinning rope so that it passes under their feet and over their heads. This may consist of one participant turning and jumping the rope, or a minimum of three participants taking turns, two of which turn the rope while one or more jumps. Sometimes the latter is played with two turning ropes; this form of the activity is called Double Dutch and is significantly more difficult. Children often chant jump-rope rhymes while jumping rope. These can range from pure nonsense to comments on current events. Participants may simply jump until they tire or make a mistake, they may improvise tricks, or they may have to carry out a predetermined set of tricks . People also practice solo jump-roping for exercise. There are hundreds of different tricks/techniques of skipping rope. Most modern-day jump ropes are made of cloth, plastic, beaded string, or plastic-coated wire/cables. Cloth and beaded ropes hold their shape better, while plastic and coated-cable ropes are designed for speed. The optimum length for a jump rope is with the handles reaching up to the armpits while standing on the center of the rope.

4. Your Top Source For Boxing Training Advice To top it off, you can easily pack a jump rope with you no matter where you If you train at a boxing gym, you may wish to jump rope inside the ring. http://www.rossboxing.com/thegym/thegym26.htm

Jump Rope Training By Ross Enamait - Published in 2005 Also, check out Part II (from 2007) You could walk into any boxing gym in the country and I am willing to bet that you will hear a few familiar sounds. Young fighters will thump away at the heavy bags. Others will create rhythmic sounds on the speed bag. A bell will ring every few minutes, indicating the beginning and end of a new round. Amidst these sounds, you can also expect to hear a fast skipping noise. The skipping noise will come from the spinning motion of several jump ropes. Jumping rope (also referred to as rope skipping) is a staple in a boxer’s conditioning program. If you are involved in the sport, you can expect to spend some time with the rope. Jump rope training will enhance: Coordination Agility Quickness Footwork Endurance In addition to the obvious physical benefits, jumping rope is fun. There are always new footwork patterns that you can develop and practice. But wait, it gets better You can purchase a quality jump rope for $5 or less. In the video clip below, you will see me spinning a rope that I bought for $3.75. You will not find a more effective conditioning tool for less than $5. To top it off, you can easily pack a jump rope with you no matter where you travel. Unfortunately, despite the obvious benefits, most athletes outside of the boxing gym are unfamiliar with jump rope training. Many strength and conditioning coaches have replaced the jump rope with more elaborate and expensive training tools. I have seen entire seminars dedicated to footwork and agility. Coaches charge hundreds of dollars to teach many techniques which could instead be developed with a $5 rope.

How to Jump Rope Jumping rope is a very good calorie burner and is also a fun playground activity. You can have a total body workout without leaving home and without the feeling you are actually exercising. It develops excellent footwork and coordination and also gives a very efficient cardiovascular workout and muscle toning. Before you get in over your head, work on your skills with these tips. edit Steps edit Solo Jumping Choose a rope appropriate to your size. With the rope folded in half, it should reach up nearly to your shoulders. It also helps if the rope isn't too light. Grab the jump rope by its ends, or the handles, one hand for each handle. Put the jump rope behind your back and let the loop hang behind your feet. Throw the jump rope over your head and when it meets your feet, jump over it. Repeat and see how long you can do it without tripping up. As you practice, you will get better at timing. It might help to do a small hop in between jumps, count jumps, or chant a verse. As you learn to move the rope faster, the in-between hop will become unnecessary. edit Tricks Try some tricks. When you get better at jumping rope forwards, try going backwards. Start with the rope in front of your feet and throw it over your head to the back. Jump over it when it reaches your feet again.

Posted in Double Dutch Jump In Jump Rope How To Get Started With Double Dutch Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007 How long are double dutch ropes? Double dutch ropes are typically 12 to 16 feet in length. For speed events you should use 12 foot ropes. For freestyle you would typically use 12 foot ropes for 1 jumper only, 14 foot ropes for 1 or 2 jumpers, and 16 foot ropes for 2 or more jumpers. What kind of rope works best for double dutch? There are 4 different basic styles of jump rope: Licorice/Speed ropes, cable/wire ropes, beaded ropes, and cloth ropes. Each style of rope has its pros and cons. Licorice/Speed ropes: These are good multipurpose ropes. They are good for speed and are usable for freestyle. The downsides are they stretch, they are hard to see, and they are not as easy to control as beaded or cloth ropes. Cable/Wire ropes: These have very small diameter and are excellent for speed. They do not stretch like licorice/speed ropes. They are not good for freestyle. The top speed scores are typically obtained using this style of rope. Where can I buy double dutch ropes?
