How to skip like a boxer. The route towards skipping like a boxer.

They key to progressing is to keep practising each stage of how to skip, from two feet together to one leg off the ground, then the other, and ending by running on the spot as you skip before morphing into the way boxers do it. Good luck.

[@walterjohn9570]

In 1:00 he explained/demonstrated from the basics then progressing to boxer skip. Other videos complicate it and take 15-20 minutes. Well done sir!

[@thehomefront1905]

This guy is medicine for me. Hope to meet him one day.

[@brucele2776]

He is strong at 78.

[@Straightshooterx71x]

He'd be strong at half his age as he is. 👍

[@asdasdasddgdgdfgdg]

He is clearly a great teacher.

[@patrickfarrell4751]

I became a fan just a few weeks ago He has 20 years on me but makes me feel like it is the other way around If I tried that I would be on the floor in the first few seconds Your first sentence summed it up for me too 👍👍

[@thehomefront1905]

@patrickfarrell4751 If he can do it at 78, we have no excuses, buddy. I started very light training one month ago, and it's becoming a routine now. My problem in the past has been that once I stop, it takes me ages to get back into it. Let me know how you're getting on in a couple of weeks. Good luck

[@jeanettestalmack2183]

Wow! I am inspired. I have a jumprope. I will try. 😊

[@ThomasHarte-m4f]

You're an inspiration to this 68 year old man

[@Mike-j7i6e]

Thomas if you train keep it up pal if not get out walking gd comfortable trainers hokas or true motion comfy on the feet and look into cold water Pherapy I do a cold shower in morning to get me going I’m 48 a few years younger than you 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿but still feeling the aches and pains as I reach 50 gd luck 🍀

[@monikel]

Thank you Frank! Yesterday I bought a skipping rope from Lidl. I am woman 48yo. If you can do it so well, now I trust myself I can do it too. Thank you 🧡💛💚

[@FranksNobleArt]

Exactly. I like your attitude.

[@monikel]

@FranksNobleArt I watched videos here on YT explaining boxer skip and today I discovered that I was able to do it. Quite slow and after max 20 I get tangled but still...I got the move! 🎉

[@ishopops5856]

Incredible, Frank. It must be an honour to train under you. Aberdeen is very lucky to have you.

[@rockym2931]

Hear, hear!

[@BeatThe95]

Love your videos Frank - hope to be still going strong at 68, never mind 78! Respect! Skipping is a great exercise, dynamic too - 3 minute rounds skipping - speed up and slow down to match the pace of a fight. Add in double unders etc.. and finish with a 30 second sprint. Great stuff!

[@davemolloy-cl7th]

What a truly inspiring person,thank you Frank

[@stevengow401]

You make it look too easy, Frank. 💛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@AllenMaddox-j6f]

In my time I had a couple of students who struggled with this. Now, Frank does a great job of explaining this. It makes this seem easy to do, but still some will still have trouble with this. Now I am open to correction/adjustments by others, but I will mention some things to try to help. First, this is meant to be easy, so if you are stressed please dont be. Second, please notice that he rotates the rope from the wrists. People who have trouble try to move their arms much like done when children play a game of jump rope (one on each end, and a person jumping in the middle), no just spin from the wrists like Frank is doing. Next, the correct length. The length of the rope is hands at hip level with a bit of slack, Notice that Frank has taken in some of the length. Just do that by trying until you get something comfortable for you. Last, when to jump, With feet together, like Frank, jump when you hear the rope hit the floor/ground. Just a little hop, not knees high or moving legs. As you get better, which will not take long, the more advanced stuff comes easily along. Beginners I would suggest going in one minute segments to start. Trust me, for beginners, are those just starting an aerobic regime, a minute on rope will be enough. Do a series. Yes, as Frank mentioned if you get up to 10 minutes you are doing a very good workout. The goal, if possible, for you, is more intensity over a shorted period of time.

[@fc4660]

Wow! I’m so impressed. Alternate leg skipping is quite hard for me but I’ll stick with it. Many thanks!

[@dennisb6954]

I’ve been disillusioned with the state of boxing. The sport has become diluted, especially when it comes to coaching. These days, anyone can complete a short course and call themselves a boxing coach, which is a far cry from the days of the ABA, when coaches brought genuine experience and passion to the ring. Watching your videos takes me back to a time when boxing truly meant something. Thank you for keeping that spirit alive.

[@FranksNobleArt]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[@OurLifeinParaguay]

Frank's the man. For me skipping got a lot easier when I relaxed my arms, spin the rope with the wrists, relax the upper body.

[@ginge5168]

Your an inspiration sir, no excuses really 👍🏻

[@ajarman123]

You know it takes a new level of skill and courage to skip outside on ice.

[@martinhowarth81]

Brilliant, takes just a couple of minutes to explain .. other videos 20 min to reach the same conclusion.. appreciate it 👍🏻😉

[@moulanaabdoolsahib4385]

This man is such an inspiration to us all. To say “Well done” doesn’t do the man justice. I hope he continues to lead by example for many years yet.

[@martinclapton2724]

A fantastic example that age is no barrier. Very well done.

[@naturesbest7977]

I try my best to explain to people who are overweight. You don’t have to run a marathon, you don’t have to become a body builder. Just MOVE your body around, and one of the best ways is jump roping. 15 minutes a DAY. On and off, take breaks, go at your own pace. Jump roping is under rated. No fancy gyms, 30 minutes of circuits with a jump rope at your own pace and you’ll feel great!

[@rustybrownstein8985]

I love the fact this was filmed outside with snow & ice in the background. Keep it up fella 👌🥊

[@SPsiuping]

Now I am going to find skipping rope. 😁 Despite me being quite active and do cardio regularly, your skipping is an interesting alternative. And, I don't do weights but skipping would strengthen my arms too. What a great idea. THANKS

I used to skip 30 minutes the second I walked into the Dojo and then I’d jump right into Sparring. Skipping sets a Good rhythm and settles the Mind into a 1-2 track.

Go out walking bro and swimming till you get the weight off then get into the skipping

[@woooooooo9061]

@@Mike-j7i6eI do need to lose a stone or 2. But I carry a lot of muscle. Years of weight training. Even when I’m a bit leaner I just feel too bulky and heavy for the skipping.

This task looks so deceivingly easy… until you want to master it. The anerobic factor alone is beneficial once you get into your groove. Great for the lymphatic system I can imagine as trampolining etc bouncing that is… is good for moving the fluid around your body and pumping blood also back to the heart. Hop to it 😊😊

Just started skipping at 65 , started like a gallop, then double jump, now last week, single jump, work to do, thanks , ps put some faggan fingerless gloves on please,

[@gerrardmcgillivray8574]

I remember in primary school we did jump rope for heart all day we were doing double dutch and single skipping raising money for heart disease

[@tz7813]

In my 20’s I skipped 2-3 times per week/30 mins per session and loved it. I’m in my 50’s now. My cardio is still very good but I can only swim/row/weights as I always get calf muscle injuries when I run, and especially when I even try skipping? Would love to get back to doing it as I had fairly good form and speed. Just suddenly got plagued with calf pulls?

[@mikemike5973]

What a fella

[@bhiwaniaala1]

[@ironorsports6626]

Appreciate you sir 🫡

[@Scott1w1]

Would love Frank to do a video on footwork drills you can do to improve footwork

[@FranksNobleArt]

@Scott1w1 I'm not big on drills, Scott. I like teaching technique. But if you watch me shadow boxing you'll get the footwork message. Keep your feet the same distance apart no matter which direction you're travelling and be on the balls of your foot. In my view, fancy drills are more for fitness/ Hope that helps.

[@Scott1w1]

Thanks Frank 😊​@FranksNobleArt

[@Shuck-Shick-Blam]

People seriously underestimate jumping rope. I'm actually surprised with people who run but NEVER jump rope.

[@Shuck-Shick-Blam]

A nice alternative is what the Russians do instead of jump rope. They grab a 45lbs barbell with both hands. When they jump, they push the barbell out & bring it back in as they touch ground again. MMA goat Fedor Emelianenko trained this way. You can find videos if you want to see.

I noticed that I hit my speed bag faster and harder when I skip rope first. Don't know why that is.

[@Highlander1432]

10 minutes straight of skipping is very demanding on cardio

[@FranksNobleArt]

I normally split it into 3x3mins or 5xqmins, although when I was younger I'd often do 20 minutes straight out. Do what you can.

[@Highlander1432]

@FranksNobleArt Thanks for replying I do 3x3 now

Crazy old jumping rope outside when he owns the gym behind him 😂😂😂 .

[@FranksNobleArt]

@GLEN515 It's not my gym but I train there, Outside skipping? It shows you don;t need a gym for skipping and you don't need a packed one with a great deal of noise which means you can get your point over and be heard.
