I was 298lbs and my daughter told me one day at the playground dad why do t you play with me at the park and that changed my perspective on life as both my parents past away when I was younger due to bad health. I started watching strength side animal flows and a year later I was 180lbs. Now my daughters friends at the park call me the monkey man because I crawl and exercise on the jungle gym lol. Now I’m going to incorporate rope flow into my martial arts flow as well

I’ve been practicing for the last 3 years. I have such bad coordination, it was super challenging for me. I started with rope skipping but when I first tried rope flow, it was like something clicked in my mind. Then you discover you can transfer the skill to Indian clubs, to steel clubs and bo staff, it’s just internalizing the patterns. For me replicating the movement on both sides was the most difficult. Very often, when I travel, I’ll just pack a rope and an elastic band.

I've been doing medieval armored combat for 9 years, and I definitely agree - transferring power through a weapon is the same as swinging a rope. If your technique doesn't work with a rope, then you are probably causing undue strain on your joints when your strike lands.

@lwad3128 8 ай бұрын

I wonder if the benefits with improving how you walk are partially because it involves crossing the midline? Crossing midline strengthens the neural connection between the left and right hemispheres of your brain. Crossing the midline activities help develop gross motor skills such as coordination and balance. I learned about the midline when my son went to occupational therapy. I'm going to do this with my son. Thanks for the inspiration!

@vaughan45g, Six months since your comment, how is it going? I have some experience coaching adaptive athletes and I’m a little over a year into my rope practice. I would think that being you’re focused on single arm patterns the magic will be in the footwork you bring into your practice. Steps, turns, spins, etc. I know that I get quite a bit of out of single arm patterns combined with locomotion. I will frequently take my rope for a walk, and even take it for a “jog” with slow bouncy strides (which can be tremendous cardio respiratory training).

We do a lot of rope handling with natural horsemanship. We use the best quality nylon double braid 1/2 inch. Our stick has 1/4 " 6 ft of rope on the end that is crackable with practice. Another fun thing to practice with your rope is to throw it, holding one end. Improves aim. A 3rd fun thing I want to try is sling and stone aim practice. Hope you do a video on that sometime😍

@rowanmulvey8632 7 ай бұрын

From a neurological perspective, any movement crossing the vertical midline of the body, like rope flow, increases firing of the corpus callosum, the "conduit" between the right and left hemispheres of the brain which provides a wealth of benefits too numerous to go into here, but short version is IT IS GREAT.
