MMA fighters and rope jumping

[Espresso]

I agree with you man, it doesn't take long to learn, but guys especially, put them in a gym and they'll immediately head for the bench press or go flip a tire instead of skipping lol. Too self absorbed and self conscience, especially if there's women around.

I wanted to point that out also. It really shouldnt take too long to learn rope jumping. Even the slightest bit of training can go such a long way to footwork, agaility and most importantly...

Coordination

Only A-level athletes can skip rope. Didn't you know that?

Wait, what? It took me like 15 mins to learn how to skip rope. Shit ain't hard, or is there some advanced shit I don't know about?

Agree that skipping rope is fucking awesome though. So damn good for stamina. I run every day, but it wasn't until I started skipping rope that my stamina really picked up. At first I could only skip for like half a min before needing a break. Now, I can get to like 9 mins without stopping and my stamina has just gone up a huge amount.

Exactly this. I ran at least 5km 5 days a week before i went to Thailand. Had never skipped before, and good god was i gassing within a minute at first.
