Buddy Lee Jump Ropes, created by U.S. Olympian Buddy Lee, is owned and marketed by Jump Rope Technology, Inc., where Lee serves as Founder, President & CEO. A U.S. Marine Veteran, 1992 Greco-Roman Olympian, and Virginia National Wrestling Hall of Fame Inductee, Lee was voted three-time Best Athlete of the U.S. Marine Corps. He is a bestselling author and globally recognized jump rope authority who transformed high-performance training through his patented external swivel-bearing rope system—widely considered the gold standard in jump rope technology.

Faster feet. Quicker reactions. Conditioning that lasts through the final period. These are the edges every wrestler is chasing, and they are what Buddy Lee Jump Ropes are built to deliver.

A Rope Engineered for Performance

Jump rope training was a key part of Lee's success as a wrestler. When he began coaching, he saw that standard ropes on the market were slowing his athletes down. So he redesigned the rope, placing a patented swivel bearing on the outside of the handle for a smoother, friction-free turn.

This advanced system outperforms standard ropes by eliminating rope tangle and wrist strain, allowing athletes to jump faster and execute uninterrupted high-intensity conditioning. The design earned a patent, sold millions worldwide, and built a reputation for unmatched durability, with some athletes training on the exact same rope for over 20 years.

A Simple System That Delivers Results

Lee's 3-Step Jump Rope Training System breaks jump rope into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Its guiding principle: jump the way you move in your sport. Thousands of athletes and coaches have used it to build the explosive agility, footwork, and cardiovascular endurance needed to compete at a higher level.

For more than three decades, Lee has served as an Official Jump Rope and Conditioning Coach for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams and the U.S. Government Fitness Movement, as well as the global Jump Rope Subject-Matter Expert for CrossFit, TRX, the Marine Corps and the U.S. Army.

“As a U.S. Greco-Roman Olympian, three-time national champion, and assistant coach for the five-time national champion Marine Corps wrestling team, USA Wrestling holds deep personal significance for me,” said Buddy Lee. “Jump rope gave me the winning edge as a wrestler, and I built my ropes so other athletes could get the same results. I am thrilled to partner with USA Wrestling to give the next generation of American wrestlers the tools and jump rope training system to build elite footwork, conditioning, and championship resilience—on and off the mat.”
