Jump Rope Side Swing Technique

Jump Rope Side Swing Technique ***Subscribe to Jump Rope Mentor*** The side swing really really really is one of the most important jump rope tricks you need to master today. It is because the side swing acts as a foundation to all the other tricks you will be learning as you advance in your jump rope journey. The side swing is that it teaches you how to position your hands while doing any type of tricks. (01:12) How you should position your hands to do the side swing: When you're doing the side swing. You're always going to have your strong hand which is your right hand on top of the left hand at all time. And the first swing you're going to do is always going to be on the right. The tips of the two handles should always be facing the side you're swinging at, so if you're swinging on the right, the two handles have to face the right. If you're swinging on the left, the two have to be facing on the left. Correctly positioning your hands.; Just like we said, you're going to have one hand on top of the left hand, but you're going to move the right hand a bit more to the right. Just a bit to the outside. If you don't do this, the cable coming out of each handle is going to be too close to one another and this is only going to cause tangling between the cables. *If you're a left handed person, you're going to have your left hand on top of your right hand at all time. And you're going to start by side swinging to the left, and your left hand is going to be reaching out more than the right hand. At any point during the side swing . It's the exact same thing, but reverse it. (02:53) Switching between right swing - left swing: So when you're switching from right to left, your hands should be moving in a specific way. With your wrist, you're going to draw the infinity sign using the jump rope. This is exactly how your wrists are going to move when doing the side swing. Try it, and you're going to see how much more natural it's going to feel. (04:10) Jump Back In: You did a right swing, you did a left swing. At this point, your two hands are on the left side of your body. With the right hand on top. All you're going to have to do is open your right hand and jump back in. (04:39) Pro Tip: When you're swinging the rope to the sides of your body, I would recommend you to keep jumping on the toes of your feet. It looks more fluid if I'm still jumping on the toes of my feet even when doing the side swing. I'd like to know from you guys, what is the first trick you're going to be learning after you've mastered the side swing?
