Janis Saffell (ESPN 2 "Crunch Fitness" & International Fitness Expert): "The only jump rope I have used for the last three years is the Buddy Lee Cross Trainer Rope. I travel internationally teaching kickboxing to fitness professionals and this is the rope I recommend. In my latest fitness video, "The All New Kickbox Express Workout", I feature a 15 min. jump rope segment using the Buddy Lee Jump Rope and his format for breaking down more advanced jumping movements. If you are going to jump do it with Buddy Lee"!
Wayne Pickering (N.D., Sc.M., Author; Speaker, "Triathlete" 1996;1997 nominee for the Healthy American Fitness Leader Award): When I was in Vietnam, I took up jumping rope as I didn't have a place to workout and keep in shape. And to stay alive, you need to be agile, have good coordination, great speed as well as keen alertness. I couldn't believe how well the jump rope kept me in shape in such a short amount of time. So for 32 years I've been enjoying the benefits of jumping rope and it was 3 years ago when I had the distinct privilege of meeting Buddy Lee. To say it was a pleasure would be a mild expression. His Magic Speed Rope is more than superior to all the other jump ropes...his is the only jump rope! It makes rope jumping as much fun as it can be and equally beneficial to your health. Whatever goal you may have with your fitness program, you have to win when you use this marvel of engineering. "The Buddy Lee Magic Speed Rope and his 10 min. Jump Rope Program!"
John Naber ('76 4X US Olympic Gold Medallist Swimming): "I want to tell you how please I am to have one of your ropes, and how much fun I am having, by exercising just 5 minutes a day. The rope is so easy to take with me on the road, I can get a good heart rate going in just 60 seconds, and I am constantly trying to improve on my prior performances. It is a truly Olympian routine, all thanks to your evangelistic zeal".
Mark Pizzi (Vice President of Nationwide Insurance): "Dear Buddy, I have been jumping with your Jump Rope and Program for three years. It has helped me to loose 40 lbs. and I was recently promoted to Vice President of Nationwide Insurance. Thanks, Buddy".
Ed Filice (fitness enthusiast): I am 47 years of age, and have been using a speed rope as a warm-up for weight lifting. I used your product one time only before my son decided he needed it more than I. Using your Magic Speed Rope is effortless, (almost). It's a treat to have good quality along with a real value. Please send me order information so I can retire my leather rope".
James Star (fitness enthusiast): "Buddy Lee's Speed Rope is the best piece of equipment period! My exercise program consists of shadow jumping, jumping rope, squats (no weights), pushups, crunches and stretches. It's a great 30 min. workout and the only piece of equipment required is a Buddy Lee Speed Rope".
Silas Smith (47 yrs old): "I can now jump (swing) on to my horse Yukon Indian style again due to jumping and my body is slim and trim like when I was younger. None of this could be accomplished from weight training or the running machines alone. I am hooked...".
Michelle
Rausch (Aerobics Instructor): "I just wanted to let you know that I
think Buddy Lee is incredible!! I watched the video that I purchased from you at
ECA in NYC, and I have passed your instructional knowledge on to my students
that I teach jump rope to. The Rope Master jump rope that I purchased from
you has already improved my skills and fitness level. I can jump for over an
hour with no problem because of the ease and speed of this amazing rope. I
have always loved to jump and now I have been inspired all over again because of
you !! Thanks!"
Gray Cook (MSPT, OCS, CSCS, Director Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy, Vice President Athletic Testing Services, Level One Olympic Style Weight Lifting Coach, Reebok Master, Trainer Lecturer / Instructor North American Sports Medicine Institute): Director Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy, Vice President Athletic Testing Services, Level One Olympic Style Weight Lifting Coach, Reebok Master, Trainer Lecturer / Instructor North American Sports Medicine Institute): "I feel Buddy Lee's approach to cross conditioning for sports represents all the best of science, innovation, and practicality. He does not focus on rigid programming, equipment, or fitness trends. His focus is on the body (where the focus of all conditioning should start). He emphasizes timing, coordination, agility, body awareness and body control. These elements provide both improved performance and injury prevention. These are also the words we use to describe the great ones'. All great sports coaches have continuously maintained a focus on fundamentals (no matter how great or popular they may have become). I feel Buddy represents the same fundamentals philosophy for conditioning. I consider him a friend, a peer and an expert in his field.
Quote
from “Renegade Rope Training” By Coach John Davies: “World
renowned master of rope work, Buddy Lee, a former Olympic Wrestler and two time
USMC athlete of the year, has helped illuminate the tremendous benefits for
modern sport and those concerned with their general health. Simply put,
this might be the perfect exercise for everyone from elite athletes and
bodybuilders to the average adult and child.”
Christine Krall (National Programs
Director): "My sincerest thanks on being such an integral inspiration and
incredible resource to our sport. I look forward to having you guide our top juvenile
skaters and Olympic hopefuls for the years 2006 and 2010".
Justin Pekarek (‘99 World Jr. Ice Dance Champion):‘99 World Jr. Ice Dance Champion):: "When I combined the Cross Trainer Speed Rope™ with the many skills and double unders jumps you showed me, my agility went through the roof. I have found training with your rope and program interesting, challenging, but most of all fun. Thanks, Buddy"!
Audrey Wiesiger ('98 US Olympic Coach, former coach of Michael Weiss - national champion skater and World Bronze Medallist): "I use rope jumping as part of the training and conditioning program for all my young skaters. I am particularly impressed with how rope jumping has increased the 'efficiency of movement' of my athletes".
Felicia
Beck (one of the Nation's top Junior Figure Skater
USA PENTATHLON
Michael Gostigian ('88 & '92 US
Olympian & World Record holder): "Not a day goes by without me
using this rope - in every training I use it for warming up in fencing, weight training,
and even for swimming I need it! (a 5 - 10 min. session on the pool deck saves me from
spending excessive time and mental energy in the water). Also, I use it as a substitute for my running training
when there is inclement in weather. As
you know this jump rope you designed is the best on the market and an athlete's best
training partner. So
thanks for helping me out and being an integral part of my Olympic training".
USA BADMINTON
Ignatius Rusli (Asst. Coach ): "Compared to our former equipment and program, Buddy's USA Magic Speed Rope and 10 min. Jump Rope Program has proven far more effective and advanced in developing stamina, explosiveness and lightning quick reflexes".
Kevin Han ('94 and '95 Nat. Champion and '96 Olympian):
"Buddy's USA Magic Speed Rope (and 10 min. Jump Rope Program has helped me increase
my arm, foot and wrist speed on the court. It has also helped me develop my endurance and
stamina".
Raphael Park ('95 U.S. Collegiate Nat. Champ):
"The USA Magic Speed Rope is the best jump rope I have ever used. I am 25 years old
and have been skipping rope as part of my training since I was 11 years old, and this is
the best rope I have ever used. It has given me a new way to train that is helping me with
explosiveness".
USA WRESTLING (Freestyle and Greco Roman)
Kurt Angle - Freestyle 220 lb. class ('96 Olympic Gold Medallists, '95 World Champion): "Your rope and program has helped me to be quicker and more explosive. I am training better than ever. Thanks, Buddy".
Kevin Jackson - Freestyle 180 lb. Class ('92 Olympic Gold Medallists, 3X World Champion): "Among many different cross training techniques, I use rope jumping to improve my wrestling skills and over all condition. The USA Magic Speed Rope, is the fastest turning rope I've ever used. It makes jumping fun"!
Dennis Hall - Greco Roman 125 lb. Class ('96 Olympic
Silver Medallists, '92 Olympian, '95 World Champion): "The USA Magic Speed
Rope responds to directional change and turns very quickly for a great work out. I use it
to get my heart rate up and to simulate the intensity in my wrestling matches, so that I
feel ready when I step on the mat".
USA JUDO
D'Anya Bierria ('95 and '92 National Champion in judo,
'94 National Champion in freestyle wrestling, '92 Olympic team alternate for judo):
"The USA Magic Speed Rope has helped me with my endurance, speed and has allowed me
to quickly change from one technique to another, which is very important in judo and
freestyle wrestling."
Kirk Bauer (Executive
Director): "We would like to commend you on the excellent instructional
session you performed at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center. Your
expertise in the area of plyometrics, resistance training and jump roping proved both
education and motivational for our athletes. These athletes are now implementing
performance developing skills, shown by you, into their elite Paralympic volleyball
training".
Dayn La Ree (Martial Arts and owner of Han Guek
Kwan):
"I am compelled to express my appreciation for your fantastic jump ropes. I
needed a way to develop coordination, rhythm and endurance in my students and decided to
incorporate rope jumping to reach those goals. I purchased several of every jump rope from
every supplier I could find. I then provided all the ropes to our students to see
what would happen. By the end of the third month, the students were
"fighting" over your speed ropes. Only the USA Magic Speed Ropes were
adjustable, quick on rotation and durable enough to withstand the unintended abuse given
them by our less proficient jumpers. Thanks"!
Robert Ctvrtlik ('88 Olympic
Gold Medallist & '92 Olympic Bronze Medallist): "I have begun
to work out with your rope 2 times per week, and I have definitely noticed a
little spring coming back in my jump. Once again thanks for the fantastic jump
rope, and I am telling all of my friends/acquaintances about my
results".
TENNIS
Johnny Angel (President US Professional Tennis Registry Florida, Coach to player on the ATP and WTA Tours): "I first met Buddy at the US Open in 1999 and was amazed at his knowledge and willingness to help design a jump rope program for tennis player. Well let me say that what he came up with was outstanding and far exceeded my wildest dreams. We have seen impressive results using Buddy's program and products at my tennis academy Johnny Angel World Class Tennis.
All I can say is I recommend Buddy Lee to anyone who wants serious fitness gains and wants to maintain their level of fitness. Keep up the good work Buddy. Tennis needs you".
Tom Jilly (Director Van der Meer Junior Academy): "I would like to personally thank you for your presentation to our players. It isn't often that someone can keep 50 kids interested in fitness for as long as you did. Your high energy personality and fun demeanor kept everyone interested and motivated. You showed us a tough fitness routine in just a few minutes and we have incorporated your ideas into our weekly program. Many of the players are trying to master some of the more complicated moves you showed them - who knows, maybe we have a budding grasshopper among our midst".
Billy Sterns, who coaches many of the top junior
players in the country incorporated my jump rope training system into his
program and noticed significant results in his players in just four weeks. Jorg
Rauthe, Head Women's Tennis Coach at Manhattanville College, said that
Sterns’ players “moved like cats across the court” during a visit that
took place after Sterns initiated my jump rope training system. Upon
his return to New York, Coach Rauthe recommended that the school’s athletic
director introduce all athletes and school sports programs to this system.
Coach Rauthe was already a believer in jump rope but now realizes one must jump
a specific way for sports and believes his tennis players and all athletes would
improve their sports performance by using my jump rope training
SWIMMING
Jeff Rouse - backstroke '- 92 & '96 Olympic Gold: Your rope is the smoothest turning and quickest rope I have ever used. I warm up with it before lifting weights. It helped me develop my anaerobic conditioning in my training for the '96 Olympic Games.
Quote from "Fitness Swimmer" June/July 1997: ...........It's also working for the Stanford University women's swim team. The swimmers love it because it burns fat. "Buddy's routine is fabulous," says Coach Richard Quick, who was also an Olympic coach in '96. "Swimmer's spend lots of time in cool water, so they have more body fat compared to other endurance athletes. That's one reason we jump rope. It burns calories.”
BOXING
MOHAMMED ALI (1997 ALI WORLD CUP CLASSIC, LOUISVILLE, KY): "Buddy, you're great man, you're great !"
CHRISTOPHER ARCHER (EVENTS/PROGRAMS COORDINATOR USA BOXING): "On behalf of USA Boxing, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for performing a fantastic jump rope demonstration during our 1997 Everlast U.S. Championships.
