Basic skipping patterns 1 (with a rope)
Timing, rhythm, and coordination

7m 7s
THE WHAT:
Frames of practice to developing an understanding of some fundamental skipping patterns and the physiological qualities which their practice has the potential to bring. Further to the patterns themselves, practice lies in modulating tension, developing elasticity and a sensation of "lightness"" which can ultimately transfer to all and any "stepping" work.
Work on these pattern individually in a self-directed manner, following the brief contexts for practice given in the resource (i.e. developing consistency with each pattern WITHOUT moving in space, before taking it travelling to develop lateral experience and then ultimately integrating all patterns together, both static & moving).
It is recommended to spend a minimum of 3 minutes accumulated with a pattern when it it being practiced. Once available for consistent 1 min UNBROKEN sets, this time can be reduced and more emphasis placed on other more unfamiliar patterns, moving through space, or integrating. Resource contents:
0:05 - Rope setup & execution
0:56 - Bilateral hopping
1:50 - Unilateral hopping
2:36 - Unilateral WS (toe-tap)
3:25 - Toe-tap w/ (ac-/deceleration)
3:42 - Unilateral WS (heel-tap)
4:22 - Unilateral WS (toe/heel)
5:05 - Accelerated stepping
5:54 - Integrating basic skipping patterns 1
MILESTONES:
- 1' minute unbroken, each pattern
- 3' minutes unbroken, integrating all patterns

Rope skipping 2: moving in space
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.

THE WHAT:
4 additional patterns which include variations with the arms and skipping in reverse. Regardless, the basic 'unilateral weight-shift' remains the same.Resource contents:

MILESTONE: 60" unbroken skipping, increasing frequency of whips to 2 whips (1 each side)... -
Close-range Ball-dribbling
THE WHAT:
A fundamental context for exploring timing, rhythm, & hand-eye coordination as well as power-management (how hard to hit the ball), object manipulation and focus. Do not, however, expect that practicing this task alone will develop those aforementioned qualities in any significant or we...
