I think it's a fantastic idea. Freedom never meant freedom from standards or obligations. You want to live in a country where a man can smoke a joint or put on a frilly pink dress and shoot an M1 Garand? fricking earn it!

Not only will the Chinese kids be able to jump rope, but they will be able to do it in complete unison in groups of 5000.

If every kid in China jumps rope at the same time, I'm concerned they may cause the country to tip over. Or maybe even shift the earth's orbit!

Susan Zhang, a 34-year-old mother from Beijing, told WSJ that sending her daughter Tangtang to a jump rope school was “one of the wisest decisions” she made. Her daughter used to not be able to make even a few skips with the jump rope but after professional help, she now describes her daughter as a rope skipping powerhouse.


Cool I guess.. but not sure what that really accomplishes

Tangtang's not just another fighter... she's a wreckin' machine! She's hungry... and when a heavyweight gets hungry, she eats belts!

Just put them in crossfit. Once they learn double-unders they'll pass any jump rope test that gets thrown at em

One of the most underrated exercises you can do. The fountain of youth can nearly be found through jump rope and squats.

With so much on the line, some parents are now enrolling their children, as young as 3, into jump rope schools in order to secure a better chance to get into good schools

not about memorizing the 100k pictograms.
not about abacus.
