Boxing History: The Jumprope

Although painted images of skipping bamboo and vines date all the way back to Egyptian times (around 1600 B.C.), Dutch settlers are credited with bringing the jump rope to America during the 1600’s. At that time, it was only used by kids for fun, but the activity of skipping rope thrived in the early 1940s and ‘50s, predominantly with children in the inner cities, because it was inexpensive and could be taken anywhere.

In the early 20th century, boxers began using ropes in training to improve conditioning, leg strength and foot speed.

The game changer really happened in 1963 when Heavyweight Champion, Sonny Liston appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. His brief segment showed him skipping rope to the song “Night Train.”

Although it had been in the fight game a long time, the popularity of the jump rope surged after that and became a staple of every fighter’s routine.

Now, you can watch footage of nearly EVERY boxing great, putting time in on this crucial piece of equipment. Ray Robinson, Ali, Tyson, Ray Leonard, Duran, Mayweather...every fighter who takes his craft seriously can put on a clinic with one of these.

Originally, jump Ropes were primarily constructed of leather, but now use a variety of dense rubber materials and plastics.

Styles range from leather, to rubber, to plastic beads. Many feature ball bearings in the handles that increase the rope speed and decrease wear and tear at the point of rotation.

Using it to get in peak physical condition, to gain foot speed, and muscular endurance in the legs, makes it the perfect addition to the sport of boxing.
