La bellezza del salto con la corda sta nella grande creatività che si può esprimere attraverso tutte le possibili abilità e stili esistenti. È veramente infinita.

In jump rope, a jumper can move the rope fast enough such that it completes more than one rotation around its body in a single jump. Quadruple unders, often simply called ‘quads’, are multiple unders where the rope completes four rotations around the jumper’s body before they land.

In freestyle jump rope, naming conventions follow some simple logic that helps you understand how a skill is performed, or how a variation of the foundational skill is added to.

The world of freestyle jump rope is vast and can be confusing at first. There are many tricks to learn and many new terms and names to remember. Amongst all this new language there are few consistent patterns to be uncovered.

In the history of the sport, a lot of skills (both foundational and high-level) have been conceptualised in different parts of the world at the same time independently of each other. Before the internet and social media connected us all, these localised names would stick around.

Yes, it is! Jump rope is very easy to count. We can count the number of times we do a Cross or a double under, to name but a few. We can also count the number of steps we take in a set time domain. This is known as 'speed training’. Let’s take a closer look.

Both ‘jump rope’ and ‘skipping’ are internationally-used terms for the sport we all know and love. The beautiful thing about language is how diverse and colourful it can be.

Neither is right nor wrong. It just depends on where you’re from and who you speak to. Skipping rope is very common in European countries whereas jump rope is more common in the USA and Asian countries.
