if that's what you training calls for and you aint in anyones way, I don't see a problem with it.  Long time ago people were incorporating cardio exercise during "rest" periods to challenge energy systems and simulate conditions used in specific sports.  If you can maintain 90% of your normal workload while in a anaerobic state you will then be truely conditioned.

They are everywhere, man! I think they have some kind of a secret club or organization called "The shadowboxing, rope jumping and striking while crunching warriors"

Or the silly idiots who take this long stick put on thier back squat style and do side twists.  The stick is like 8 feet long and these fools do this taking up tons of space.  I wanna crack it over their heads, every guy I have seen use it is 40's-50's no physiqe to speak of and skinny/fat.  They think this movement is gonna tighten up their mid-section Im sure, total waste of time......now that I think about it everything they do in the gym is a waste of time for them.

This is another thing that puzzles me. With all of today's advanced array of cardio machines, why do these gimps feel the need to jump rope? Thats like these guys who join a gym to do push-ups even though there are free weights and machines all over the place. Gym stupidity will never end.

Playboy, i don't know if your an athlete, but those stationary cardio machines give no where near the benifit to an athlete that jump rope does.  If a person is good enough to get 160 alternating foot jumps per minute than jump rope will be an amazing training tool for agility, speed, balance, foot work (changing positions) and power....if your jumping like a school kid then it doesn't offer too much benifit.

I do agree that jumping should never interfere with anyones weight training, but it is an awesome exercise.

I understand completely, bro. I took 17 years of martial arts when I was younger before I got into bbdg. My beef is that there are gyms specified for this kind of training. Matial arts schools/dojo's and so forth. You don't jump rope in the middle of a busy gym (or a gym for bbdg purposes) where people could get clipped in the eye with the rope.  Its disrespectful to the other members. Surely he can find another place to do this like his/her basement.
