Take Your Skipping to the Next Level with Boxing-Style Moves

Jump Rope Like a Boxer | Hop & Side Swing

Want to take your skipping game to the next level with some serious boxer flair? Learn the Eddie Jumps Boxer FLEX —the ultimate move to add style and coordination to your jump rope routine.

What You'll Learn:
This move focuses on timing and coordination, so don’t rush—it’s all about mastering the steps.

Step 1: Nail the Side Swing
Swing the rope to one side of your body, focusing on **arm placement**.
Key tip: Wrist on Wrist position.
Once you’ve perfected the swing, bring the rope around and open your arms for a jump (the “open”).

Step 2: Practice Makes Perfect
1. Side Swing with a Toe Catch
Focus on arm placement.
If the rope lands under your toes, it means your form is correct! This is a low-impact way to practice without exhausting yourself.
2. Add the Jump
Progress to Swing → Open → Swing → Open, adding a jump each time.

Step 3: Add the Hop for Style
Once comfortable, start hopping as you jump—lifting the correct knee with each swing.
Practice slowly, build muscle memory, and over time, increase your speed and style.

Patience is Key
Don’t worry if you don’t master it right away—take your time, practice consistently, and watch it all come together. This is one of my signature moves, and with dedication, you’ll have it too!
