Here is a video of me skipping before a class to warm up … and to try to show off  to my daughter! :-) My daughter filmed our “skip off” … and she is way better than me, but her modesty was such that she would not allow me to post footage of her soundly thrashing her dad! Skipping is a great warm up! It raises body temperature and can really work the shoulders (good for keeping the guard high and endurance for grappling), and the calves (good for ensuring you “keep on your toes” for sharp footwork). Skipping is also low cost, fun, and good for daddy-daughter competitions … even if you lose! ;-)

All the best,

Iain
