THANK YOU. Best boxing step jump rope instructions I've seen on youtube. Been trying to learn but your instructions, slow-mo, and close-ups offer the best explanation I've seen. I'm subscribing to your channel.
this is the simplest technique i've ever seen ! the instruction is very simple. for me this is so much better to do since the technique shown is not complicated ! i'll try to do this since of course its easier to see it than doing it :). 100 thumbs up. :)
Hi Ryan, thanks for stopping by! Good luck with learning this move. It's a great move for allowing each leg to get some temporary rest without having to stop. It's a go-to move for jumping longer: ua-cam.com/video/kwlQ_2wiTL4/v-deo.html
Thanks again. Usually struggle to see difference with that n alternative step. This helped alot. I've left leg nerve problems so this will help me jump longer making the right work
Hi Sandra, that's awesome to hear! I appreciate your feedback and comments. Sorry to hear about your leg nerve problems, but it sounds like you are making positive strides. I plan to make another video on the boxers step in the near future.
Peter Smith - glad you liked it. If you try that rope swing at the end, just be careful and go slow at first, as you don't want to whip yourself in the face. Thanks again my man.
Dear Andrew, thank you again for this informative video, like many others, I started to jump regularly on 2 feet and while jumping I randomly try "boxing step" but it's not very solid or let me say I can do boxer step "by luck" :) So this video clears lots of issues on my mind now I will be able to practice in a more systematical way.
Andrew -- another superb vid and directly addresses what I was looking for -- achilles & shin splints. Also superb music! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Just started jumping rope 7 days before and I'm doing 150 consecutive jumps with proper form, but how i can increase my reps and how i can learn more tricks... Thank you for your efforts, waiting for more videos
That's great Vignesh. Keep practicing and your skill and fitness level will both increase. Lots of videos on this channel in terms of improving jump rope ability and how to learn jump rope moves.
Vinnie V - A boxing fan, good man! Boxing requires great aerobic and anaerobic capacity. In a boxing match, there's plenty of short burst activity (throwing punches, evading punches, and moving away quickly and changing directions) mixed with slower less intense activity (walking around, feigning, clinching). So, you'll want to mix high intensity work with less intense activity for, say, three or more minutes at a time without stopping. In terms of jump rope, have you seen this video, in which I skip for three minutes while constantly moving around and doing double unders: ua-cam.com/video/EH63F4dDlPc/v-deo.html And this one in which I increase the duration and some different moves: ua-cam.com/video/EESHy0xbSU8/v-deo.html If you can, I recommend running for boxing training. It places certain demands on the legs and body that carry over well to boxing. Mix in some dashes during your runs. And, breathing and staying relaxed is very important for high intensity level sports. Many people gas out too soon when fighting (or playing sports) because they're too tense which burns energy unnecessarily. You don't want to squeeze or clench your body/muscles too much or you'll tire easier. As Bruce Lee would say, "not being tense but ready". One way to help stay relaxed is to be in good athletic shape. Knowing that you have good stamina can increase your confidence which can help you stay a bit more relaxed. Breathing is also very important and often overlooked. Many people hold their breath far too much after inhaling but it's important to exhale to help remain calm. Being aware of your breathing and concentrating on inhaling and exhaling in a controlled manner can do wonders for stamina. One type of training I often do is to skip as hard as i can interspersed with slower skipping all the while trying to breathe as calmly as possible. Work hard while breathing as easily as I can. Breathing properly is a game changer for many. Mayweather, for instance, was known for using clinches and feigning as opportunities to breathe. Mayweather and other pro boxers tend to inhale with their noses and exhale with their noses/mouths. In the UFC, the Gracie brothers were big proponents of of the importance of breathing. A lot of people inhale with their mouths, but this can be stressful and disadvantageous. Exhaling with the mouth especially while exercising at high intensities might be necessary but inhaling with your nose has great advantages. I've talked about it in a few videos, and will continue to do so in future videos. Hope that helps, Andrew
Andrew Dunne - The Way of the Jump Rope Thank you for the long reply. I remember you posting a video on the nose breathing while jumping rope and I thought that was interesting. Usually my cardio consist of a morning yoga and then jumping rope for a while. *I don't have any equipment* I've been thinking about running for cardio and doing that for a while. My college also has a gym where I can run on a treadmill. I also notice that I hold my breath a lot and do not notice it. This is bad for a lot of reasons but most importantly you are not in your happiest state when you constantly hold your breath. Anyways thanks again for your reply. I'll have to stop procrastinating about my cardio and just do it.
Hey Vinnie, it's great that you recognize in yourself the effects breathing can have on mood. When I started focusing more on the way that I breathed while at rest and active, I noticed big improvements in physical performance and general well-being. I like the Buteyko method and sometimes do some Wim Hof style breathing, as well as a few other breathing exercises which I'll make some videos for at some point. I checked your channel, and saw the liked videos. I appreciate the support! I see you follow Fight Tips. Shane Fazen makes good fight-related content, as does JT Van. That's one thing, among all the other benefits, that makes jumping rope so great. Equipment is not necessary except for the rope itself. It's also fun which is a great way to get in cardio. If you weren't training specifically for boxing, then I might not suggest running, but running places different demands on the body that carry over to boxing. Start small. Maybe go for a run once a week on the treadmill or outside which I prefer. Thanks again for your support, question, and comments!

Hey Y.K., if you're getting injured from exercise, as opposed to physical sports, you're likely doing too much too too often for your current skill and fitness level, in addition your technique may need improvement. Make sure you are not jumping too high off the ground. The higher you jump, the more impact you will place on your legs and ankles. You might also need to warm-up more before jumping rope.
I'm currently using a rope I bought for 75 cents in South Korea and really enjoy it. It's made by a Japanese company called Daiso. I've used several ropes by elitesrs and find them good. Nortechskippingropes in the UK are good too.
I dont agree in my own experience. I got shin splints doing boxers step rather than regular bounce. But yes it is much better learning the boxers skip.
You are one of the kind person in this world.
Best and clearest explanation anywhere. The slow motion really helps.
Thank you!
I keep coming back to this film.
What a great comment! I'm happy you like it.

Great video! Your illustration of the boxers skip is great help for me. What is the rope that you are using? Thanks, BQ.
Thanks Bill! Search for a video on my channel called What Rope Do I Use

@@thewayofthejumprope thank you so much... Please make more slow motion videos so that i can learn easily, it's my humble request
Thank u Andrew sir.
Bashab, glad you liked the video. Thank you!
I noticed you switch rear foot position in 3 stages...
Just got back.....i did it .....along with the transition
Fantastic!
Am I correct in saying you are doing 3 jumps on each side ? Is that what you usually do and/or do you sometimes change ?
I've been getting in to boxing lately. What type of workout should I use to increase my stamina?
Vinnie V - A boxing fan, good man!
