I am into day 3 of jumping rope, lol...I'm 48 and 232lbs. And legally blind. It's been challenging, but I love it!

[@CoachNateKG]

I went and checked out your account - the single unders you posted look solid! How's jumping been going since then? I'm pumped you decided to join the jump rope community 😁💪

[@CoachNateKG]

So pumped to hear its useful, even now!

[@gwenbekaert4326]

Best mic release tutorial I've seen!

[@GG-ed8uu]

I've been looking at many mic release tips this us best by far. Im kind of gutted as started jump rope in April 20 can easily kill 8000 rotations in an hour now but only just heard if all these fantastic tricks so I feel back to the beginning! Still should have a cracking 6 pack by the end of it! Great tutorial!

[@CoachNateKG]

Better late than never! (including my response to your comment lmao!) But yes, there are SO MANY different skills to try out! I would definitely recommend exploring as much as you possibly can, and learning efficient form. That will open up the most doors to do whatever style you want with your jump rope 😁

[@scrimpmster]

Thanks for this. Something to keep me busy in these quarantined times

[@CoachNateKG]

Yes for sure!!

[@fitnessfriendkim8761]

Having to rest my legs, so going to start trying the MIC tomorrow. Did 30 minutes today and it was useless so this has helped break it down for me. Thanks!

[@CoachNateKG]

It's never useless - even 30 minutes of misses will bring you closer to success 😁

Hey nice explanation man.. I can do the horizontal spin but while doing vertical spin my rope tangles after 2-3 turns or the spinning handle hits the other handle. I can't understand what am I doing wrong.

[@aerieita3708]

Fantastic tutorial 👍👏👍🔝🔝

[@JoashGamingBruh]

The most well explained tutorial about mic release i have watched so far! Thank you for this! 😍 I'm gonna try this tomorrow ❤ One question though,does the type of rope matter? What rope suits best for practicing mic releases? The pvc ones or beaded ones?

[@CoachNateKG]

I would recommend a Short Handle Beaded rope for learning releases. They really help with learning the Wrist Pop mechanic 😁👌

[@djpickleballplayer]

Whoa!!! You are AMAZING!!!

Well explained thank you

Awesome!

[@maiacushing5543]

Oh man. I wish I could do that. I’ve been practicing this. For me, the timing is what I have to get down. Any advice? Thanks. You make it look easy. You make great tutorials.

[@CoachNateKG]

Make sure you spend a LOT of time on each of the small steps leading up to the Mic. Get very comfortable with the horizontal spin first. As you practice the releasing part of the skill, spend time JUST doing the swing and making sure your hands are in the right spot 😁 go super slowly, watch what’s happening, and be very patient! You can also message me on Instagram too if you want more specific tips 👍

[@maiacushing5543]

@@CoachNateKG thank you

[@paulferbandoz4514]

Omg thank you!!

[@amberccino]

This may be a silly question. What do you do after the last step you catch the rope with your feet? Is meant to be caught? Or the catch is part of the practice and you meant to jump through it after the catch? How is this used? Is this the last act of ending a series of jumps? 😅

[@monicaf3425]

Dear Nate- can you give more tips on how to make the rope turn. I can only get it once in a while. I have so many ropes. Light beaded or heavier beaded to get it off the ground? Already broke some handles. Sigh.

[@simonlagneau1839]

Thanks a lot for this video, do you recommend a specific kind of rope?

[@CoachNateKG]

I recommend people learn on a Short Handle Beaded Rope! There's a link in the description to the rope I recommend 😁👌

[@meritcooper]

Great explanation. Thanks!

[@dankdabco]

which jump rope thickness is best to order ? standard or the thicker?

[@lucianacleaningservices2278]

Nice tutorial Nate. I will practice as soon as I get sometime!🙌🙌🙌

[@sahilsukhija5244]

Thank you! ✌🏻

[@CoachNateKG]

You're welcome!

[@saramalvino4086]

Love this tutorial! but I don't have a beaded rope. it's possible to do this trick with an other type of rope?

[@CoachNateKG]

Yes for sure! It's possible, but it may take more time to get the feeling of the rope's movement. Many jumpers learn on Long Handle PVC/Licorice ropes and go on to have great jumping style and control over their Mics 😄

[@fluffytofu3880]

Hi Nate, can i do this trick with a normal rope? I have been following you on ig and your videos really help me to jump better.

[@CoachNateKG]

Yes you can! Depending on the rope/weight ratio, it may be harder to accomplish compared to a Short Handle Beaded rope. But it is technically possible 😁👍

[@fluffytofu3880]

Nate K-G i can release, swing and catch, but i couldn't jump after catching. 😅

[@JanuRasbiSkipping]

Thanks..I Its really helpfull

[@JumpRopeMalaysia]

awesome

[@CoachNateKG]

😁🙏

[@mickey1227]

Great tips.. Thanks.. Can you share how long should my ropes be when using pvc ropes.. It is hard to control the rope when doing the horizontal release.. My rope length is below nipple line.. Thank you..

[@CoachNateKG]

Usually you want a rope that’s 3ft + your height to start, but as you get more comfortable, you should aim for a shorter rope that’s about 2.5ft + your height! The Mic is a bit different than other skills though because it tends to be easier the shorter your rope is. So you might want to try using a MUCH shorter rope just to test how that feels BUT don’t cut it! Just temporarily shorten it and then go back your normal length for other skills 😁😁

[@abhiramms2001]

Nice tutorial 🙌👏 I wanted to buy that rope. Sir could u plz help me with the name of that kinda rope

[@DiscoStu950]

This is a great tutorial. Can i ask how long this trick would take to learn on average?¿ Saludos desde Madrid 🇪🇸

[@CoachNateKG]

Well, it depends haha. If you have a coach with you in person, it could take as little as 1 hour. If you're trying to do this skill on your own, it could several weeks or months. Usually the hardest part of learning on your own is not being able to SEE what's incorrect. Plus there are a lot of different pieces to this skill, so the time it takes to learn it can really vary depending on the individual!

[@albagl7487]

Hi Nate, here you have a new follower in both insta and yt! You're amazing boy⭐, thanks for all the explanations and great videos they are really insping💪

[@CoachNateKG]

Ah thank you so much!! I'm glad it's all helping - there's a lot more to come! :D

[@antonioleo5491]

but which is the lenght of the rope?

[@lawrencefirmalo3724]

Are you using a special rope? Or a regular rope can do?

[@CoachNateKG]

It’s a Short Handle Beaded Rope - there’s a link in the description 😁👌

[@jhapzkii8326]

Is your rope shorter than the usual length? And IS it necessary to use the beaded type? Or Can I learn this with a normal PVC rope? Thanks!

[@CoachNateKG]

My rope is shorter than what you'll see boxers use, or what most new jumpers are using. Typically you want to start with a rope length that's about 3 feet/92cm + your height, but you want to make it shorter over time. The better your form gets, the shorter your rope needs to be. Eventually your rope size will match the types of skills you like the best! And you can definitely learn this on a PVC rope - beaded tends to be easiest, but technically you can learn it on any rope!

[@jhapzkii8326]

@@CoachNateKG Thank you very much for the response. Keep up the good work and more power to you and your channel.

[@benroddick9763]

Great tutorial! My release handle keeps crashing into the ground as it uncoils what do I do? :)

[@CoachNateKG]

Sounds like you’re just releasing at the wrong time! Wait a little bit longer for the rope to start moving upwards and follow that momentum 😁👌

[@benroddick9763]

@@CoachNateKG thanks !

[@destinesiablackwork5863]

I would like to ask what kind of rope are you using?

It's a Short Handle Beaded Rope and I have a link in my bio to the rope I recommend 😁👍

[@destinesiablackwork5863]

@@CoachNateKG Can it be shipped to Thailand?

[@AshFit007]

Is it applicable with all types of jumpropes like cable rope??

[@CoachNateKG]

It is applicable, but a cable rope will be far more difficult to do this skill because they are typically not designed for freestyle skills

[@jakew.d901]

So I seem to have a really hard time getting the handle to come up from the ground I'm wondering do you think that can be compensated for by flicking it harder Or are only some ropes capable of doing this trick

[@chloelee7204]

hi, when I spin the rope vertically, my rope starts to become tangled and it also touches the floor. My hand is quite high up and the rope isn’t that long, what can I do? Refer to 7.34 (What im trying to do) Thanks :)

[@vinaericacauilan6901]

It’s difficult with vinyl rope 😢

[@fookaiwai]

Is it possible to do this with PVC rope? I tried to but the handle immediately get on the floor 😅

[@CoachNateKG]

Yes it is, although you might find it a little easier to learn on a short handle beaded rope. If the handle is slamming into the ground, you're likely letting go at the wrong time. Shoot me a message on Instagram with video and I'll take a look 👍

[@kristalp2418]

Hi Nate, do I need a beaded rope for this? I have a PVC rope only

[@CoachNateKG]

You can definitely do this with a PVC rope! The beaded rope will probably be easier to learn on though

[@faazalrehman5505]

Nate, what do you recommended for starting length of beaded rope when learning this trick? My usual pvc rope comes up to about bottom edge of my sternum without the handles added, using the one foot in the middle measurement technique. Thanks! I'm getting closer to catching the rope using a beaded rope that's slightly smaller... but I know that the rope length that Jimmy uses, for example, is way too short for myself at the moment.

[@CoachNateKG]

Yea Jimmy's rope is crazyyy small haha because that fits his style. Typically, beginners should start with 3ft + their height if they are just starting. From there, a 2.5ft + your height is a great benchmark. Over time you want to make your form more efficient (if that's your goal) and shorten the rope to a reasonable length. But when you really get into lots of different styles, there is no "right" length because it is really up to your personal preference. Jimmy is a great example because his rope is at least 6 inches shorter than mine, but he's wayyy taller than me hahah. So it really comes down to your jump rope goals and style! 😁👌

[@faazalrehman5505]

@@CoachNateKG Thanks! I came across another video of yours where you mention something similar (after I had posted this). Didn't know about the 2.5ft part, I"ll check and report back. Definitely looking to make form more efficient, and when not using a heavy rope to get fit, I love all the crosses, EB, 360 and now.... mic release and arm wraps.. Too much to even think about any toad action...

[@faazalrehman5505]

Just measured, 6ft height plus 30 inches = exactly 2.5ft! Happy with the length and don't "feel" like I have to restrict my arms too much to my sides to comfortably do all the crosses/basic jumps.

[@rudychavira5558]

Can any rope work? Or beaded?

[@CoachNateKG]

Technically any rope *can* work, but a Short Handle Beaded Rope will help you get success the fastest 😁

[@ingenuehairlashesbyngozi7996]

This is hard

[@lyonliving4422]

I'm gonna guess it matter what rope u use, im using one but its has wire in it so it always gets twisted :(

I still can’t catch the rope 😢

Doing the same thing you thought but ends up with different result yup the Universe hates me

[@natinatyoutube]

I really would like to love this channel as it's someties recommanded to me but it's just way, WAY too much talking in his tutorials. We dont need to be drawn in unnecessary, tiny winy details everytime... Best MIC release tutorial for me is the one from Forte athletics on YT.
