Rope Flow Training Tutorial: 3 Key Movements + How to Flow

[@Kenoshachannel]

This was the very first video on rope flow that I watched and really motivated me even more!

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Ah that's great to hear!

[@gillianclarke6888]

Thank you for this video! And your nice sense of humour (What IS the meaning of life?). I'm 70 and want to learn some rope flows. I appreciate your careful breakdowns of the movements. Now it just has to stop raining so I can go outside ...😄

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Hope you enjoy learning the ropes! Any questions or requests for future videos, let me know down here! 👊🏻

[@leathajohnston4280]

Thanks. Excellent way to explain how to get started.

[@najroen]

Thanks man! Just got the heaviest octo rope and this video really helped me getting started!

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Happy to have helped! How are you getting on with it?

[@georgehorlock]

Really well made, informative video mate. Thanks for posting. Been using the rope for about a week and I'm starting to feel the flow come naturally now. For me it's like brain training / meditation.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Cheers George, great to hear! Definitely feels like a form of moving meditation. Keep it up mate!

[@axlek7620]

Excellent presentation. Thanks!

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Cheers much appreciated!

[@musicforthesoul7357]

Very Informative and detailed. Watching from the Philippines. I just purchased a rope. You're a great help. Thank you.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Glad I could help! Happy flowing!

[@moichinessmoira7028]

Very helpful for a beginner like me.. thank you sir!

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

That's great to hear Moichiness!

[@dennismarentette7992]

Love my Octomoves rope. I use Tabata APP to rotate my different movements into a 13 minute Hiit program. At the end I do a sprint session of overhand flat out figure 8 until failure. The next day I do underhand. I journal all my workouts to see progress.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Ah that's a cool way to practice! Glad you're enjoying it!

[@carolinecipriano7325]

Thank you. Your tutorial is easy to learn. I really appreciate it. Hi from The 🇵🇭.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Ah that's lovely to hear! Welcome to the channel and thanks for the kind words 🙏

[@michaelasalacinski8622]

Great video, such an interesting way to diversify training, particularly during these testing times :)

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Cheers matey, and thank you for helping out with filming! 🙏

[@chilledj]

Enjoyed your basic rope training video!

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thanks, more to come!

[@educagnin]

Great video ! It really clear some of my questions .... Thank you

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thanks Eduardo, that's great to hear. Happy flowing!

[@dpyt-mythpo]

Great tutorial, helped me get started with the rope! Bless.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Fantastic! Thanks Daniel, really glad it helped. I have a few more rope videos in the pipeline, so if you have any questions or things you'd like to see, feel free to give me a shout!

[@jvz773]

Great video; very informative, thanks. Question: The rope wholesaler website offers a LOT of different types of rope. I have no idea which kind is correct for a flow rope. What kind did you use to make yours? Thanks again 🙏

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

I’ve made a few different ones. Poly braid is what’s commonly used, but I also like using hemp 👍

[@sandralavelle3728]

Great breakdown, thank you!

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thanks Sandra, much appreciated :)

[@Bcun20]

Thanks Luke this was really helpful the way you break it down is excellent. Any tips of how to stop hitting the back of the legs on the dragon roll?

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thank you! I find it useful to keep going back to the broken down version of the movement, really focussing on the back portion where you drag the rope acros the floor behind you. Also ensuring you're getting that rotation through the torso can help with the clearance. Slow and steady, keep practicing and it will click :)

[@Bcun20]

@@LukeJonesMOVE Thanks Luke, it now clicks and once you feel the movement it just seems to work and 'feel' good.

[@redletter7157]

Hi Luke. Fabulous stuff. And your a really likeable presenter. I have a question - I'm only 5ft2" - which of the Octomove robes would you recommend so as I dont have to tie dozens of knots to get it right for me? thanks - will keep your videos forefront of mind.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Hey! I believe they're all about the same length but differ in weight. A few extra knots on each side near the handles though should hopefully suffice to shorten the rope! It's surprising how much length a knot takes off! :)

[@lonepineronin]

nice stuff, luke

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thanks doc, appreciate it!

[@maracanlas1292]

Thank you for your great explanation of the basic rolls - I bought a rope and course from Octomoves and found that your explanation clicked a little better than Rokas’. I’ve been struggling to find an exercise that’s fun and easy to stick with - rope training might be it!

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Glad to hear it has helped!

[@susanmaebiscas2079]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thanks for watching!

[@josmarser]

Great tutorial. Thanks 👌🏻

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thank you!

[@natelarosa7675]

its interesting that many of the moves mimic or train i should say movements with a sword or kali style stick practice

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Yes definitely a lot of crossover with various sword and stick patterns!

[@Janisurai]

​ Luke Jones Thanks! Do you still train jump rope, or exclusively rolling rope when doing rope training?

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thank you and welcome to the channel :) I'd say 80-90% rolling rope, throwing occasional bouts of jump rope in too. Jumping is often just to keep my heart rate elevated if I'm using the rope for an endurance style session, or to help warm the body up for some other training like lifting or running. Hope that helps, happy roping!

[@Afro-Frontier]

Should I purchase nylon, cotton, hemp?

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Up to you! I like hemp

[@user-om4ki3mb5s]

Thank you so much! I already have a lot of rope however I couldn't figure out how to tie the "ends", do you know what this knot is called or how to tie the ends to create the handles?

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Great to hear! The end knots are essentially boat shoe knots. Here's an instructional video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfZgGyQftSAn6c Hope that helps! Let me know how you get on

[@user-om4ki3mb5s]

@@LukeJonesMOVE It was super easy, I was laughing when you realise how simple the knot is, I've been using my flow rope at least twice a week now much appreciated 👌👌

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

@@user-om4ki3mb5s Ah great to hear! Glad you're enjoying it mate!

[@SirPhytone]

Great video, thanks! A question - how much did it cost for you to make your rope buying via the wholesaler? Also, looking at Octomoves, they have various ropes- would you be able to recommend one for someone new to flow rope, but who is looking to get into it long term? Just thinking if I am going to spend good money on a rope, i don't want to have to upgrade further down the line! Cheers dude, keep up the awesome vids :)

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Thank you! From the wholesaler, I was able to make 2 ropes for around £45. They work pretty well, but feel a little too thick and clunky on times, particularly around the handles. I believe the ones at Octomoves are slightly thinner but heavier. I'll drop them a message and get back to you!

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Just heard back from Octomoves - they recommend the Phoenix for versatility, or the flowzilla for speed

[@SirPhytone]

@@LukeJonesMOVE Great, thanks mate! I shall make sure I add your referral too :)

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

@@SirPhytone Great, you're welcome - enjoy!

[@miguelmatallanes5953]

Can you maybe explain the back swing of the dragon roll?? Either I am missing it in these videos or there is step not being explained.. I feel like every video is " drag on front then roll and there ya go, a dragon roll".... What is the swing on the back? what do yu do with your hands?? How do create that swing?? Some videos you mention a shoulder pinch, is there a video wherethis is explained??

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

I have another video on the dragon roll on my channel that may be worth a look at : )

[@micmico5713]

how thick and heavy should my rope be?

[@Felipetyflop]

Great video. Which type rope did you buy from the wholesale website?

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Cheers! It's the polybraid 16mm, but the 14mm would likely be better as the 16 is a bit thick (or opt for an Octorope).

[@Felipetyflop]

@@LukeJonesMOVE much appreciated. Thanks.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Enjoy mate!

[@alisonchang2448]

what's the difference between your rope and slush rope?

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

I've not tried the slush rope so can't comment unfortunately!

[@GabrielBacon]

Great video! What diameter rope did you use? Is it the double braid / braid on braid?

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Cheers! It's the polybraid 16mm, but the 14mm would likely be better as the 16 is a bit thick (or opt for an Octorope).

[@Janisurai]

Can you do these moves with a normal jump rope?

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

The first two (underhand and overhand) can work, but the dragon roll and some of the more advanced skills are a little trickier and a more well suited to a heavier rope like those at Octomoves.

[@cynthiastephie]

8:45 dragon roll

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

Also done a more detailed breakdown recently that might come in handy :)

[@cynthiastephie]

@@LukeJonesMOVE Thank you! I did watch it yesterday.

[@kimcrawford8409]

Alot of these movements u will find the Maori culture doing while using poi (ball on the end of string/rope)...no doubt other cultures use similar movements also.

[@lynnm5084]

I keep slapping my legs ugh.

[@LukeJonesMOVE]

completely normal! Take it slow and you'll get there

[@aishabubakar5273]

Awesome guide. Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by :)
