Can vouche for Tim's app course. It was sooo worth it. I was already more than a year into my rope journey and had picked up most of the moves and Tim's other courses, but by committing to and completing the structured course I was definitely 3-4x better by the end of it, 6 weeks later. He has you start from the beginning and patch up any weaknesses in your transitions and describes each move set in excellent detail. I really couldn't be happier with it. Highly recommended, whatever your skill level!
I love this talk and review @Tim! Kudos on your objectivity. I am new to rope flow, the last few months and am similarly enthralled! Finally, interesting cardio, and wow, it's so much more. Looking forward to your course! 🤩
Hi there!! Thank you so much for the comparison Tim: Just two points to be considered while purchasing ropes: I took the one provided by Octomoves less than two months ago. This was the first one I bought, as it was the cheapest one from the three compared by Tim, at least for Spain, and for sure I have regreted it: I have just used it 15 min per day during these months and a half and the signs of damage are quite visible. The helpdesk does not help at all, stating that this is what I can expect Moreover, the course that is “included” for the price you pay is ridiculous: It is just the free course that you can have without buying any rope, even directly available in RU-vid. And the tips that are reflected there are not focused on the correct alignment, and benefits for the spine and health as per Tim’s. I immediately regreted my purchase and I started taking the 8-week fluidity course from TWOTR. I am incredibly happy with my purchase. 3 weeks after starting, my progress is quite obvious, and my only regret is to not having bought the Gold Teacher Rope from the very beginning. A pitty Again, thank you very much Tim for all the effort and kindness you put in every video, tutorial and material provided
Never heard of rope flow until yesterday.... and I have now ordered your Golden Teacher and 8 week course....the only downside I see is, as you pointed out, the wait to get it to the US. Oh well, I can wait.
You should also review Slushropes. That was the first rope I picked up. A little more dense than Golden Teacher but similar thickness, I bounce back & forth. I love them both. Also, Tim's course is worth every penny. I got the package with all 3 ropes, which were worth the wait of shipping to the States.
Thank you for this review. It helped me decide which rope to get and who to follow for instruction. That would be YOU! Looking forward to receiving my rope and 8-week course.
@@Tims_Gym, yes, received it last week, and I've gotten pretty good with overhand and underhand, but I can't quite do the dragon roll yet. This is so fun! Also, thanks to Ed for responding quickly to a question about taping the rope where it hits my concrete drive where I practice. He said it won't affect the flow if you tape, so that's good to know!
Nice comparison Tim. Here in the states, Weck is the only viable option due to shipping cost. As much as I love ropeflow and have benefited, I still feel foolish to spend $30 on a rope.
Meh, don't feel foolish. We've gotta support creators that are adding to our lives. I'm sure you've gotten at least a few dollars of value from his free material. Might as well say thanks and support what he's doing. It's not that much more expensive, and you'll get many, many miles out of it. I got mine a really long time ago and they're still in perfect condition. 🙌🏻 He also does sales periodically from his newsletter if that helps.
It's not foolish to dedicate $30 (or even more) to an enduring training tool that can be used every day for years. A gym membership is $30 or more just for one month. Both are worthwhile.
@@The_Alex_Murphy I use the rope 4-5 times per week and it lasts about 3 months. Fortunately, due to the incremental increase in popularity, Amazon now sells decent, cheap ropes.
What is the material of the golden teacher on the outside and core? It appears to be a natural material due to the color, but based on how smooth it is I’d guess it is some sort of synthetic material?
Perhaps to mention that it is possible to purchase the golden teacher from living tea if you are in the states. I don’t know if it saves on shipping, but it may arrive a bit sooner as it has already made part of the journey, although I’m not sure if purchasing from living tea includes any courses or not.
I have to make the budget conscious choice here, buy a rope and knot it myself.. Tried to match material and diameter to the commercial ones, but weight can just be added with extra knots, right? If this is the A-Hah moment my back hopes for I'd get your advanced rope in the future. Great vids!
Have you tried the wecks premium rope. I tried the original weck rope at the local gym, and I noticed the ropes fray rather rapidly. Just wondering if the premium might be more durable
maybe it is somewhere on your channel, but why can't I use a jump rope? a beaded one? Not the crossfit ones? currentyl studying maceflow along with my taichi and karate practice, but definetely want to try ropeflow in the futue
You can use one to try it of course, but to get the most you'd want to try a proper rope for the way it moves in the air just feels different to any jump rope which is made more for speed
Cool thanks, now I'm going to run down to the hardware store and buy some 1/2 inch rope maybe 5/8 inch. Same kind of rope for like.75 cents a foot. Heck for that price I can get one of each. I don't convert to metric, not sorry.
I would be interested to know whether these cords are nylon, polyester and how many strands? They certainly do not look like real jute rope and therefore, unless the latter they're not green so to speak. Unless the rope is a specialist rope such as a climbing rope then trying to justify spending 70 EURO on 2-3 metres of rope to flow with seems rather expensive to me as a pensioner looking for ways to get other genarians moving their bodies. All kinds of rope will wear out eventually depending on how you treat them and where you use them. Just like skipping/jumping rope, if you use a shock absorbing mat then you will prolong its lifespan. People seem to be so eager to part company with their hard earned over something that is really quite elementary whether it be from Italy or China. OUT.
It is a specialist rope that is costs a lot by the metre. I also use 50%+ recycled plastic from the oceans to make my ropes which adds even more to the cost not to mention mind are 100% made in the UK. You can off course try the movements with cheap rope but it does not feel the same as with a proper rope flow rope. Also, and possibly most importantly, some people just like to support others personal businesses that are positively inclined and not just faceless corporations.
The quality of the rope. The time it takes to make. The courses that come with it. The support of your fellow brother and not cheap chinese factory. The desire to invest in your own health. etc etc.
