Skip with the boxer's step to build rhythm and footwork.

Coach's take: Ninety-ten weight split and the 5-3-2-1 countdown - this is how you actually teach it.

Coach's take: The step-by-step build from a plain two-foot hop up to alternating toe taps is genuinely well taught -- best beginner progression in this batch.

Coach's take: Weight shift versus run skip, tape line, and a real mistakes list - the best of the bunch.

Coach's take: Great drill -- the tape-line trick actually gives you something to check yourself against.

Coach's take: Best-structured one in the batch -- mistake, fix, benchmark, variations.

Coach's take: The back foot comes back to the toe - that is the fix most people are missing.

Coach's take: Proper progression with real benchmarks - 60s bounce, 30s hop - before you move up.

Coach's take: Good rope-down progression that gets a beginner alternating; docked for the sales pitch.

Coach's take: Exact foot mechanics of the skip, no fluff: good reference clip.

Coach's take: Explains the core weight-shift mechanic really thoroughly -- repeats itself, but it sticks.

Coach's take: Good breakdown of the weight-shift concept, just wade through the sales pitch at the end.

Coach's take: Clean progression through three variations -- good structure for self-teaching.

Coach's take: Good sequencing -- bodyweight footwork first, rope second -- just a little repetitive in the telling.

Coach's take: Solid technique fixes, just a bit rushed and there's a brief sales pitch in the middle.

Coach's take: Nice cues - jump like you are on eggshells - but no actual progression to follow.

Coach's take: Right cues, too much talk and a promo code before you get to them.

Coach's take: Good boxing-stance angle on it, buried in rambling and a discount code.

Coach's take: Explains why generic rope-skipping doesn't transfer to the ring, then fixes it.

Coach's take: The tips are right but there's not enough here to actually learn the move from -- more of a reminder than a lesson.

Coach's take: Decent motivation and context, thinner on concrete technique than the better clips here.

Coach's take: Nicely structured, but only useful once you already have the base step -- it won't teach you that part.
