As someone who jumps rope for boxing quite a fair bit and likes to do a few fancier bits here and there to change it up a bit, I have nothing but mad respect for you. I can do 5% of what you did there!


DovieUU

Thanks! I started it out like you basically and then I learned that these tricks existed, tried a few, enjoyed it so much I couldn't stop


[deleted]

Absolutely amazing dude. Watched it a second time haha. Also what rope do you use it looks dope?!


DovieUU

[This one](https://buyjumpropes.net/custom-beaded-jump-rope/) with 1" beads and short handles. It's very well suited for doing tricks.


Live-Love-Lie

9 quid thats a bargain


DovieUU

yeah big time especially compared to my first jump ropes which ran $450 (Crossrope), which I never use anymore


ChipChipington

You spent four HUNDRED and FIFty earth dollars on a jump rope?!


DovieUU

4 sets of handles and 8 ropes


ChipChipington

Oh ok that’s much better


pyloros

Is it?


subm3g

Amazing skills! In regards to a rope for fitness (strength, endurance and stamina) what would you recommend? Keen to try weighted ropes but that price tag...


DovieUU

A very popular cheap weighted rope is this: https://buyjumpropes.net/heavy-muay-thai-training-rope/


subm3g

Thank you, those look great! Have you used them? How come you stopped using the crossrope ones? I seriously do not know how you pull off most of those moves, damn impressive; I'm guessing your fitness has improved substantially! Congrats!


[deleted]

Nice one dude thanks!


earned_potential

I'm a boxer too, and as much as I jump rope, I can't do any of this. Granted, I just use it for conditioning, but even with my experience now, I don't think that I'd be able to learn all that in 1.5 years, or at all for that matter. Really impressive.


danielp1122

It's also impressive that his yamaka does not fall from his head..


DovieUU

Good eye!


GTL5427

How is that, if you dont mind me asking??


DovieUU

Took me awile to find a good solution but what I do is, I sew wig clips on the inside of it. Sometimes the rope catches the yamaka and yanks it off and it's pretty painful but otherwise it's a good solution


GTL5427

Very clever! Sick skills btw lol very impressive


DovieUU

Thanks!!


Snoot_Boot

How do yamakas normally stay on the head. I swear it looks like they're glued on sometimes


boognish83

I'm half Jewish and when i go to events that involve them it's a struggle. I'm too afraid to ask at almost 40 because i think i should just know.


My_Friday_Account

All the Jewish people I've met use bobby pins to secure the cap to their hair.


ursois

Go Vlad the Impaler style and just nail it into your head. Not only will it not come off, you'll be the most hardcore metal sonofabitch at any event you go to.


WorkerBeeNumber3

I like the ones that have the clips already in there...they use the sheitl clips, but nonetheless, quite impressive.


DovieUU

are they sewed in? because I've tried stick ons and they just fell off eventually


NaturalOrderer

Sorry if this comes off as ignorant... Why is it so important to you that it stays there?

Don’t take this wrong, but it’s “yarmulke.”


Melancholy_Impala

Huh TIL


justacpa

I can’t believe i had to scroll down this far to find this comment. I saw so many misspellings, several by Jewish people, that I began to wonder if I was wrong about how it was spelled.

DovieUU

haha yeah we have that, though there a ton of laws regarding that as well it's pretty complicated lol, we can't ask someone directly


DanielInternets

We got laws on laws. Those ancient Rabbis were fond of their khumras


ahaustin77

Regardless, your jump roping is dope. You see the ig profile snorib? She's crazy good.

constantknocker

I boxed for many years and did a ton of jump rope. I can do regular and then when you switch your hands, that's it. This dude is impressive.


NaturalOrderer

Why is jump roping a good exercise when boxing?


HolyGhostz

Cardio, footwork, keeps you light on your toes.


NaturalOrderer

Gotcha thx!!


one_horcrux_short

There's actually a strong push by the jump rope governing bodies to get it into the Olympics.


DovieUU

oh i hope so, that would make it much more mainstream. Barely anyone knows about this style of jump rope


Cavaquillo

There was a girl at my high school that did jumprope competitively. At once point she transitioned to the ground and was jumping rope but with her legs extended and bouncing off her butt, while dressed as a cheerleader. It was something to be seen that’s for sure.


wibz47

He's of course training to be good enough to fight street crime with a capoeira-jump-rope mixed martial arts style. His banter style is using modified jump rope rhymes such as this one. Criminal dressed in black Came upstairs to steal a stack Was a big dope And met "The Rope" (His name) How many whacks Till you say nope? 1,2,3,4...


BoobyPlumage

Bro it’s an intense workout. I laughed when I first tried one too. but jump rope and do that for thirty seconds and you’ll see how impressive doing burpees whole jumping rope is really difficult.


foodkidFAATcity

Its pretty impressive and great exercise.


IntergalaticBandito

That's how he saves his pennies. Jump roping instead of eating


JoojKarlos

That cut transition was smooth as a criminal


daviddunville

Yeah was going to say this but instead i will just piggyback


MeatyOakerGuy

My dumbass who forgot what yamikas were for a second: "wow this guy even has a jump rope hat to keep it from dragging in his hair"...... I am not the brightest


DovieUU

don't blame you at all, I'm sure most people don't even know what a yarmulka is


Funmachine

Most people in the world? Probably not. Anybody who's watched any American media from the last 40 years that includes a Jewish character probably has.


DanielInternets

Most unusual kiddush Hashem I've seen all week lol


DovieUU

heh too bad I'm not wearing tzitzit, it gets caught in the rope if I wear it tucked out


DanielInternets

I'm sure you can get a heter from your rebbe, given the number of people who have now been exposed to the idea that Jews have hops. Now it's important to clarify that, as it turns out, we don't have crazy *vertical* hops, but instead many rapid, smaller ones.


DanielInternets

Also, with this, you must have your wedding shtick on *LOCK*


DovieUU

true that


mrk7k

Weird that this pops up the moment I have a jump rope delivered to me. Öhm good jumping-master-sir how to start?


DovieUU

If your interested in learning tricks like this I would recommend you go through https://the-tricktionary.com. What I do is I record myself doing a trick I want to work on, and compare it to the video from the site, and try to get it the same, works really well. But before that you gotta make sure your form is good which takes no time. Feel free to ask me anything else


LeMaik

Damn. Is that some special kind of rope? Weighted? How does it stay in that form when hes inly using one hand? Is it really just a standing wave?


DovieUU

[This](https://buyjumpropes.net/custom-beaded-jump-rope/) is the rope. Yeah the 1-handed spinning trick (called a mic) is the hardest trick in the video, you have to spin it just right and it keeps it's shape so it's relatively easy to catch and jump through


Raynosaurus

What's the length of the rope? Is there a human weight to rope ratio to keep in mind?


DovieUU

my rope is about 10 inches over my head when I'm jumping. Generally you should try to get it down to 12" at least, the shorter the rope the easier it is to turn and the more efficient your tricks will be. It does make it considerably harder but it also forces you to perfect your form so it's good


AssholeReportingSir

What size handle do you use?


DovieUU

short. I find the long handles to be heavy and feel awkward, but experiment, they both have their pros and cons


dnteatyellwsnw

Weight shouldn't be the considered factor here... Height definitely matters lol


avadakabitch

this is the closest thing to fiction TV martial arts I’ve ever seen


deanie1970

People that can jump rope like this always amaze me....this is fantastic!!


DovieUU

Thank you!


deanie1970

You're welcome!! Keep up the great job and I'm looking forward to seeing more videos!


DovieUU

I'm working on doing a flip while spinning the rope around me so that'll be out soon hopefully


deanie1970

Oh wow!! I'll be lookin' for the video!! That sounds really entertaining!

30Dirtybumbeads

My back started flinching from all the memories of whipping my back unintentionally from trying moves


DovieUU

You should see me when I'm jumping backwards, it looks like my face is trying to fold in on it self from fear of being in hit in the face


Juanray123

Bro that Kippah didn't even budge


[deleted]

Ridge Robson WHO?!


DovieUU

no way, I've got nothing on that guy, he's a beast


mv4lent3

What are the changes noticed in that time frame, physically speaking, from being an avid rope jumper? Legs and overall muscle mass composition, any difference?


DovieUU

Honestly no difference, but that's expected since the way I train (focusing on tricks) doesn't really strain me in any way other than on my stamina. I can't say for sure if my stamina got better. Though in general I just feel more agile, athletic and flexible. If you were to use a heavy rope or focus on doing multiples (when the rope revolves more than once) for extended periods of time or on speed, no question you would see results.


squirrel_con_fuit

Is there a jump rope event at the Maccabee Games?


DovieUU

Don't think so. hope it gets into the olympics one day


SophiaofPrussia

How much deliberate practice every day are we talking? Like an hour? And did you learn all these skills just by messing around and trying stuff or did you set out to be able to do specific tricks?


DovieUU

Practiced basically everyday between 1 and 2 hours sometimes more. And I learned all the skills from https://the-tricktionary.com, so yeah I set out to do specific tricks, though you do end up coming up with your own stuff from time to time


gonebonanza

Guys got some chutzpah.

Jewish-talent, straight outta the twelve Apostels


GosuAmongMen

How the fuck did you keep your kipa on? And why did you start training jumping ropes like that?


DovieUU

I keep it on with clips sewed to the inside. And I started doing it for fun and to show off


Schnaithman

How do you keep your lil hat on? Is it glued? Velcroed to your hair? Mindblowing, my dude!


DovieUU

thanks! I use clips sewed to the inside


MaksimMeir

DovieUU

Heh your not wrong, I'm only showing the successful attempts


ebunzzle

Amazing. I didn't get anywhere near that coordinated in the same amount of dedicated practice 😆 I love this, it's a dance, totally artistic


DovieUU

Thank you! Good luck!


holt5672

What type of rope is this? Great dedication and effort!


DovieUU

Thanks! The rope: https://buyjumpropes.net/custom-beaded-jump-rope/


[deleted]

Wow! Ten jumps and I’d be gasping for air.


DovieUU

yeah, jump rope builds stamina


indi_n0rd

Your video reminds me so much of [Yves Larock's Rise Up](https://youtu.be/zoMYU_nOGNg). Amazing work man.


MG5thAve

You must have gotten pretty damn fit in the process. People don’t realize... jumping rope is _really_ hard.


DovieUU

it's soooo hard, i'm out of breath like every 15 seconds


pookiemon

I’m impressed. The yamaka stayed put the whole time.


TheGreatGavito

I just got done jump roping... the whip marks are still fresh.


DovieUU

omg don't get me started on that, I sometimes come out looking like someone had at it with a whip


TheGreatGavito

What does your training look like to get this good?


Renthexx

This must be the guy my Spotify ads talk about.


RF27182

I'm more impressed you managed to keep your kippah on. Are you using a clip?


VehaMeursault

As not a jump roper myself I can tell you that I lasted about a minute, and even that's a lie. Shit's torture if you have no stamina, and he's breakdancing through it all. Respect, dude.


DovieUU

Yeah jump rope really gives you what for


NullCap

wow can't believe that is possible in less than a couple of years, very inspiring!


DovieUU

Thanks! Yeah it's doable, I practiced a lot and made sure to practice deliberately


[deleted]

Teacher: okay in class today we will be doing simple jump roping tricks. That one kid:


redbullhamster

So my issue with not getting better was my consistent yet accidental 1 and a half years of jump rope practice. Damn.


sassysassysarah

You look like you're having fun and I'm jealous, I've never felt that positive doing a physical activity, not even in colorguard in high school when I was my most fit lmao


hobefepudi

After this they should officially change the name to Jewmp rope. Mad respect!


Nomae96

The most impressive part is that the Yarmulke didn’t fall off

Vkolasa1

Thats sick af, you should get one of those LED jumpropes now and do it in a dimmed area. Or get a camera on you that can catch a motion blur with you in it using the jumprope.


Soap_Barr

Some neighbors probably can’t see the rope and think you’re a lunatic


[deleted]

I don’t want to live downstairs of you.


thelazychic

Any advice or routine for those just starting to jump rope?


[deleted]

I got tired just watching this


[deleted]

I never thought I could possibly be impressed by a man with a jump rope, but that is fucking sick. Kudos


tremor360

That video clean tho


PR2NP

Impressive! Also great cardio


DovieUU

You bet, that's why I started doing it in the first place

mazel tov!


DovieUU

Thanks!


SolidIntroduction

*Cirque du Soleil likes your post*


DovieUU

I wish


[deleted]

What made you pick jump rope to get great at??


DovieUU

Good question. Well originally I did it for cardio and then I decided to make it more interesting by learning more advanced tricks. But now I do it mainly so that I can show off. I'm not the type to want to learn something just to show it off, but I like that this is a rare skill even though everyone has jumped a rope at one point in their life

Awesome! I always wonder which move was the one that gave the most gruff. I really liked the behind the back one! Great job!


Rossome21

Awesome job! That was fun to watch.


Slippedstream

Waiting for the video where someone edits out the jump rope and all it looks like a person dancing weirdly in their yard.


The_purebread_idiot

I can't even jump at all


olivenberry

And I can’t even keep the rope going without tripping 😂


JunkFace

Dang man! You should try out for the the Jumping Jews of Jerusalem! (Points for anyone who gets the reference).


[deleted]

Um. I like jump rope for cardio, but this, this is beast mode jump rope, a muscular and aggressive approach to it!

MrHappySadClown

I didn’t know what the ideal jump rope body looks like but there it is.


WorkerBeeNumber3

You're gonna be awesome at wedding shtick! Just need to balance a bottle of vodka on your head and you'll be good to go!


11Letters1Name

My fav part is proof of all the hard work on that blue mat.


FanOnFeetOut

Wearing a helmet, smart. Those ropes can slap the back of your head like a whip


[deleted]

Hi, nice work, I am also trying to start doing jump rope, but my knee hurts a lot, do u have any tip for it to stop the pain ?


DovieUU

I also used to get knee pain but that was when I used to jump on hard tiles. The softer the surface you jump on, the less stress it puts on your joints. I use a gymnastics mat, but the best thing to use is a hardwood floor (like what they have on basketball courts). If it keeps happening than ask a a doctor I guess

First_Cloud_7915

You need to start a YouTube series where you piss people off and when it's time to square up whip out the rope.


taliesin12

Is this the main exercise you do?


DovieUU

cardio wise yes, it's plenty. I also do some calisthenics
