**Proper Usage – CAPS ARE NOT TO BE USED AS HANDLES!  Hold below the capped area and not on the cap.**

Poly Battling Ropes® are commercial grade and exercise quality ropes and have been manufactured with a special type of combination material chosen specifically by creator John Brookfield for their flexible, durable, non-abrasive, non shedding, water proof design. The core material is made from a high tensile Polypropylene with a heavy duty outer jacket Polyester yarn added for optimum abrasion resistance, increased strength, durability & gripping comfort. These ropes are perfect for the velocity-wave or pole training systems and can be used for indoor or outdoor use and will not shed or splinter. In addition, these ropes can be used for sled pulls, rope climbing and tug-o war. The rope ends are capped using an adhesive lined heat shrunk polymer cap which will prevent the rope from unraveling and extend the life expectancy of your rope.

Battling Ropes® are the original training & undulation ropes. There are many rope suppliers and knock off’s selling lower quality nylon, polyester or plastic type ropes. Don’t be fooled by these cheaper prices! These ropes will not give you the same training experience, feel, product quality, reliability and years of dependability that you will receive from the original Battling Ropes®.

  12. Weight loss/fat burning

Battling Ropes® Challenge DVD

Go beyond the basics and into the advanced! This dynamic training DVD shows you a wide variety of exercises in the Battling Rope® Level 1 training. Even though John Brookfield, the creator of the Battling Ropes®, calls this training DVD level 1, he also takes you through the basic exercises.

Velocity is a combination of both strength & speed (power). Ropes help to train users balance – the wave and whipping movement of the rope causes the user’s body to be pulled forward and side to side during use so the user must adjust their posture by bending their knees and lowering their center of gravity. Visual motivation is created by seeing the waves of the rope reaching to the anchor point.

  • Helps to develop grip strength
  • Great core conditioning
  • Superior cardio conditioning without suffering joint impact
  • Develops mental toughness
  • Breaks up lactic acid and assists in recovery
  • Quick and easy to vary workout intensity (adjustable resistance)
  • Uses natural holistic movements
  • Safe and effective for all ages
