Rope skipping 2: moving in space
Timing, rhythm, and coordination
•
2m 45s
THE WHAT:
5 progressive contexts for consolidating movement through space and developing dexterity with the skipping rope. They include linear (forward/back, left/right) & circular patterns, as well as changing of stance to a staggered position for better emulation of fighting/athletic contexts.
Resource contents:
0:05 - A1. Forward & backward (lengths)
0:25 - A2. Square' stance (stationary)
1:00 - A3. Square' stance (forward & back)
1:14 - A4. Lateral skipping (left/right) & 'spring-step'
2:03 - A5. Skipping circles (left/right)
As moving through space & changing direction affects the pull of the rope (particularly in the 'circles' pattern), each pattern/direction requires a unique on-the-fly executional adjustment (such as slight re-positioning of the hands & magnitude of pull) to avoid breaking the set.
MILESTONES:
- 60" unbroken skipping with each pattern
- 3' minutes unbroken skipping, integrating all patterns
