Jump Rope

[YouKnowWho]

I was told that jump rope can make your feet to "float". Is "light on the feet" truly more important than "not float on the feet" in combat and "modern" MA training?

Your thought?

What is "modern" MA training?

Do you mean modern vs. combat? Are you thinking in terms of modern=sport?

Are you thinking about ring canvas vs. terrain?

Jump rope is good for agility, mobility, and explosiveness. All good for the speed you need to deliver your power.

And for the power, you need to be able to sink quickly. Relaxed agility will help there as well. Becoming solid is important here, but the agility to rebound is as well because you are solid only for a split second.

huh ? not sure what you mean... of course being quick is more important than being slow

The "floating feet" is a TCMA term. It means

- you have "raised up your center of gravity",
- your feet don't grip hard enough into the ground,
- your ability to resist against throwing is weak.

so you're off balance? what's that got to do with skipping?

try it for a few months and see if you feel any difference, then you can make a better judgement on if its important
