The Jump Rope Institute was founded in 1996 by the US Olympian Buddy Lee as an educational platform for redefining jump ropes, rope jumping, skip ropes, skipping ropes, for the 21st century through technology, research, history, biomechanics, physiology, psychology and know-how. Its primary purpose is to teach the world about basic jump rope knowledge, exposure to different kinds of jumping and how to get involved with jumping as a healthy lifestyle.

Our mission is to dispel misconceptions, provide the truth, and keep people skipping in the right direction for total fitness. We intend to motivate, educate and encourage people of all ages to jump rope the right way with proper equipment and programs designed to help them attain cardiovascular benefits, athletic advantages, weight loss, rehabilitation and improved health.

We offer workshops throughout the USA and Canada to coaches, athletes, personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts to use jump rope the correct way to attain many positive benefits.

We believe we can, will and must make a difference in the world with the power of jump ropes. We will help you to rope to success!
