Tips or comments?

I wasn't gonna make this a video originally but decided to post it and see what kinda feedback I can get.

Wasn't doing any tricks just basic conditioning stuff.

Training for Amateur boxing tourney in June.

Feedback appreciated. Thanx

what are the steps to learning all those different things for a beginner?

you use the aero speed buddy lee rope? How is it, do the connections (little rings) seem flimsy? If you mess up and land on it do you think it will snap?

i want to get one but im not as good as you, i dont want to break it the first day trying to learn.

That was pretty good, when I jump rope I dont do nearly as many of those umm....cant remember the name...where you swing the rope on one side of your body (without jumping over it) and switch sides and then continue jumping rope, looks pretty cool but I think you get a better workout actually jumping over the rope. I've been using pretty heavy thick rope for the last year and half (started jumping rope when I started boxing) and it just broke about a month ago, I havent really been boxing much lately but when I use the light ropes they have at the gym they just spin so easy. Funny thing is is that whenever I use a light rope tend to jump really low to the ground like you are, but with the heavier ones Ill jump higher.

Just an observation from what I watched (a few seconds here a few seconds there...) is that you dont move to the sides much, it may help your footwork a bit if you did.

How tall are you?

im 5'8" about. ya like i said i wasn't doing much variation cuz i wasn't trying to showcase everything, but maybe i'll make a planned video next time. and ya jumping over it definitely is better work, but its more so the total volume/accumulation of work you do. if you do 5 min straight of regular jumping, or 10 minutes, 5 of regular jumps mixed in with some side crosses or w/e, the volume of that 10 min is still greater in terms of caloric expendature.

and for C727...the buddy lee aero speed rope is awesome. its not flimsy at all. just dont jump on rough surfaces that will wear the rope thin.
