To my surprise, I don't remember to have been told about toe picks used for take off and landing in waltz jump, so I kept landing small waltz jumps on the middle of the blade! Thank you for clarifying this point!
Taisiya Tuisova wow, I am so glad I could share that important piece of technique with you then! You will be able to do bigger, safer jumps!
Same!! I've also kept landing small waltz jumps on the middle of the blade for the same reason
Таня ты русская
Same!
You explained this so much better than three different coaches ever did in person! Thank you!
Oh wow. Thanks for the positive feedback!
I6
She has a talent of explaining
Does anybody else like watching tutorials for things they can already do? It makes me feel good about myself lol
To funny! Glad I could help you feel good about yourself! Thanks for watching!
Lol
YES it's just so fun as well
As a coach myself, thank you for this, I love getting lots of different ways to teach from different people
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was really helpful for people who don't know how to do jumps. Your very talented.
Thank you so much!
I feel so blessed to have found this channel, as an adult figure skater that can't afford lessons Julia's videos give me the confidence to try out things on ice. Thank you so so much!!
Awe, that makes me so happy to hear. I am so glad I can help you learn!
Me too!!:)
Thank you! I'm actually a quad roller skater. I love your instruction and the slo mo close ups! Very useful and well-explained. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm proud to say that i just got my waltz jump - it's something i've been working towards since i started skating
Yay!!! Congratulations!!
You are my most favorite online skate coach! I look forward to seeing and learning from your next tutorial. ❤️
Awe, you made my day. thanks.
I've only skated a year but none of the coaches have told me I should take off and land on the toe pick?! This is revolutionary, I'm so excited to try it! 😊
You can do it! That toe pick is pretty crucial for this jump!
I'm starting ice skating lessons as a 21 year old guy next week and hoping to get into figure skating. Since i'm older, I've been kind of having confidence issues about whether I should even start because others have been training since they were kids, but I just want to say your videos explain the different moves and basics about ice skating so well that I feel like I understand the move before I even do it on the ice!
Did you start? Adult learn to skate classes are awesome! I’m 35 and just started this year.
@@meliss9536 Yes I did! Been taking classes for a while and my progress from when I first started till now is crazy. I'm not doing jumps or spins quite yet but the way I move on the ice now is seamless compared to how i was when I started. How are you finding your classes?
@@TheCrusherofice that's awesome !!! I'm really curious about your journey, how are you doing now?
@@TheCrusheroficewhat are u learning now?
Heyy, do you still iceskate? If so, how’s your journey going? I have also just recently started skating, I am 16 years old and I also used to doubt that I’ll ever achieve my goals, just because I started too late.. but now I know, that this is not right! So if you have just started, even if you are 21 years old, with a lot of practice and passion you’ll be able to do jumps for sure!:)
The most helpful coach video I have ever watched, Thank you so much Julia
Te Li I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the positive feedback.
I've had a coach for 18 m0nths and never explained waltz jump like you have thank you will give it a go tomorrow and get back to you .
@vanessahodge wow, I am sorry you haven’t heard it explained this way before. I hope this helps you!
So clear! Your videos are THE BEST! Keep 'em coming.
Glad you like them!
I wish that your videos existed when I was skating! I love the way you break everything down; I know it would have been a big help to me. I gave up skating bcuz of health issues & donated my skates, guards & skate bag to a local rink. I miss it but still enjoy watching competitions & videos like yours! You're a wonderful teacher!💖
Now.I get why my jump was so inconsistent you explaining the landing really helped
Glad it helped!
I landed my first waltz jump a few days ago. This was super helpful.
Great to hear and congratulations!!
And look at you now buddy!!!! (Can you guess why I'm here!? 😂)
Luckyyy
Thank you so much! As a person who learn myself from zero, I really appreciate ur videos! It helped me to get the main points!
That's incredible, during two years I didn't understand how to do it but just with your video I did! Thank you so much
Glad I could help!
You have no idea how grateful I am for this video! Your explanations are sooo clear and helpful. I’ve been wanting to do this jump for so long and because of your video I was able to do it for the first time yesterday!! Thank you so much
That’s wonderful! Thanks for sharing, you made my day.
Thank you so much! I have now mastered the waltz jump because of you. From there I went on to learn the salchow as you suggested. Now I’m working on my toe loop!
Great job! That is super exciting.
This is so helpful bc I was practicing the waltz jump out on the center ice, and since I was taught how to do the waltz jump by my friend the same day I was taught about bunny hops its been difficult haha 😅 this video is a real life saver 💛💛
You are the best figure skating coach I have seen so far , you are the best
Your videos are so helpful! Thanks for posting these 😁😁
I am so glad you find them helpful!
i’ve been through 5 coaches through 4 years and i’m 12!!! you did this way better then any of them and explained it way better
Oh my gosh. Well thanks so much for making my day!
Thank you so much! I really struggled to hit my toe pick and it really hurt my feet. This is so helpful, can’t wait to keep practicing!
This was so helpful, thank you. Learned it in one hour!
alright, gonna try this tomorrow! so clear & graceful. thanks!
Best of luck!
thank you so much Julia! I am an adult (older) and so excited to learn figure skating at my age! It's really difficult to find any class for my level so I am learning from you! You a wonderful coach and explain so clearly!
I have been trying the waltz jump but realize I haven't been landing on my toepick!
I appreciate your positive feedback so much! I am glad you find my videos clear. Good luck with your skating!
your channel is genuinely a life saver 🙏
Happy to hear that!
Thanks so much for all your videos! My friends at the rink and I are all obsessed with you, Coach Julia! I’d love to get a lesson from you one of these days if I’m ever near Sacramento.
I am figureskating for 4 lessons now and I am learning the waltz jump now. Thank you for your videos!
Have fun!Wonderful!
Wait what how? I been skating for 4 months and csnt even do a bunny hop
thank you for teaching us! keep it up
Happy to hear that!
This makes it so much clearer! Thanks!!!
I am glad I could clarify things for you!
Today i landed my Waltz jump for first time! But when i came home i saw ur vid and i didnt even remembered that toepicks when i was on ice and when ill jump i will obvi remember the toepicks! Thank you so much!
Hii I started skating a week ago and you really helped me with my waltz jump! Tyy!
That's awesome!
This was very helpful! Thank you so much! :)
Glad you found it helpful! Happy Skating!
Have had the waltz jump explained by 2 different coaches before, and none of them ever mentioned using the toepick.... Can't wait for the skate rings to be opened again (damned Covid) to go an try it with your advice :-) Thanks for these very clear videos!
Wow, that amazes me. The toe pick seems like a pretty essential part to me. Hopefully my tips help you out on the ice!
Thanks so much Julia!
My first jump I learned as a kid. Back to skating again and I'm bringing my granddaughter. I'm teaching her this exact way to learn the Waltz jump. Thank you for the lesson!
That is awesome! I hope you have a great skating experience with your granddaughter.
@@CoachJulia Thank you Julie!!!
Great explanation. Thank You!
lovely sequence!! I'll try it out on rollerskates!!! 😍
Awesome, good luck!
Hi Coach Julia, I've got a qs: What is the safest posture to fall on ice? 😣 (cuz I fell and twisted my arm yesterday, when practicing the waltz jump..
Btw, thank you so much for your videos and teaching~~ I've learned a lot from them! ❤️❤️
I love your explanations, I´d love to watch this video before I learned the waltz :D could be easier :D But luckily I followed most of the tips intuitively - like practicing by the barrier. Thank you and keep making videos
That's great! Thanks for watching!
Nicely done, and great break down on the positions necessary to smoothly accomplish this jump.
Thank you.
On quad skates, do I complete the jump the same way as on ice? Thank you, Julia. Dan
great video, thanks!! 💜
Thank You so much, great tutorial. I will try eexercise this jump :)
You're so welcome!
OMG! I really should have watched your videos before going to the class! I would have avoided that unnecessary fall that I am still recovering from lol bless me! Thank you sooooooo much!
Oh my God! yesterday we started waltz jump! I am so excited yet ultra scared cause coach just demonstrated silently and wanted us to do it center ice. Needless to say .. I wouldn't dare knowing i am going to 100% slip and fall =)
Now with your initial practice and knowing that the toe pick is my point of balance, I feel excited to hit the rink and take over a wall for practice. THANK YOU!
I fell a lot yesterday and annoyed my left wrist, bruised my right knee (no coloring just pain lol), and and hurt a bone down somewhere (nothing serious). But i am proud that I actually am excited to go to the rink! Just for fun since it is the weekend and practicing is literally dangerous in those public sessions lol
Thc. Did not tried yet cuz missing sone other skills but hipefully will soon. I thinj very good explained. Like the preparation at the wall. Some coaches unfortunately miss that one which is super scary and a recipie for a fall for sure. Love your videos
Big fan from India mam❤️🙏
Actually I am doing skate from over 5 years but I am not able to learn these things in skate but your video is very helpful and I learn many things from you and many more is left so thanks alot for your beautiful videos😍😊🙏🙏
Oh thank you so much for the positive words. It makes me so happy when I hear that the videos I make are helping people around the world.
Woww very helpful! I will definitely use this :D
Yay! So glad to hear you found it helpful.
Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! I knew how to do a waltz Jump but never understood how to do it while skating..... This is an eye opener!!! Tomorrow on the ice!!!!!
Happy to help!
Although I don't understand what you are saying, but you show everything in such a way that I understand what you are saying :) ♥♥♥
In love with this!! Im still a trash beginner but this was still somewhat possible for me (the wall part at least lmao)
Amazing tutorial!
Glad you think so!
Thank you so much for breaking it!
I like the way you teach, step by step, easy to understand👍🏻 hopefully I could try it out in future, my lower back still not strong enough yet, injured my lower back muscle 2 years ago, it will hurts sometime or when work out too much😢
I am sorry to hear you are still struggling with an old injury. It’s always best to listen to your body and not push it to do things that will make injuries worse.
I will, thank you. Taking my own "sweet" time to learn skills one by one😬
Oh yay!!!!! Great video, thank you!
You are welcome! Enjoy!
Thanks!
Your amazing, thank you for teaching
I appreciate that!
Really thank you video
This is awesome! I have taken group lessons on and off for the past few years but I never go into the free/pre-freestyle classes because they are during a time I work, so I tried a private lessons teacher but they never told me to go through my topic for the takeoff or the landing soI've just been taking off of the blade!! That looks like it makes much more sense they also never told me it was supposed to be on a curve. Don't get me wrong I think she was a good teacher for other skill levels but I don't think she was used to teaching adults who want to do higher level skating.
I am sorry to hear your coach didn't fully explain this jump to you. Unfortunately a lot of coaches just jump into it after completing their own skating career and don't take any of the instruction courses that are available to them. So they have an understanding of skating, but not an understanding about how to break down a move in a zillion different ways so that skaters can comprehend it.
thank you so much!!!!!!!! i got my waltz today!
So, I tried to do this before watching tutorial and I was doing like a weird 3 turn jump thing 😂 I mean it don’t look bad but, it’s not right ahah, thank you for this tutorial!!
thank you so much!
You're welcome!
You deserve more subscribers
Thank you soooo much!!! Love u ^^
Awe, you are welcome!
Soooo easy, sooo beautiful!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks.
THIS IS THE JUMP I NEVER GOT DOWN. Lol the teachers passed me to the next level but was like you need to get comfortable with being airborne lol
Time to get back on it! Maybe this time you will master it.
Thank you for all the tutorial videos! My coach just taught me how to switch from inside to outside edge with one foot forward (not sure what it called in English since I speak Chinese lol), but I couldn't quite get it... I looked through all your videos but didn't find a tutorial about it. Really hope you could make one! Thank you :)
Its called a one foot 3 turn💞
Cora Aquino No I didn’t mean one foot 3 turn. It’s moving forward with one foot, and keep switching from outside edge to inside edge, then inside to outside without turning
@hanhsiao Hi! I am so glad you are enjoying my videos. The move you are talking about is called and Edge Pull or a Power Pull in English. I would be happy to make a tutorial about that and will do my best to get it on my list right away!
wow!
Thank you for this, do you have any exercises to practice rocking up onto the toe pick? I'm really struggling rocking up high enough onto it for a stable take off
I actually got the waltz jump in 2-3 lessons, very proud
That’s awesome!
I landed my first Waltz Jumps today and now I'm wondering if I should practice it on both feet. I always jump from the left and land on the right. 🤔
It's such a nice feeling to land them for a beginner! 🎉
So much help! My biggest fault is that I feel like I'm not getting enough "air" on my jump. Is this because of lack of speed or lack of bent knee going into the jump? Thank you in advance for your help!
Omg that means I HAVE been practicing a waltz jump right off ice LOL I just started practicing it off ice not knowing how to do it and just guessing but I guessed right!
Nice! Good for you.
I am just now leaving the waltz jump. I can’t wait to practice off the wall
Good luck! You can do it!
I wish Coach Julia made a video about a axel jump.
Does taking off and landing on toe pick trick apply to doing waltz jump with inline figure skates as well or it's just for ice skates?
I’m really struggling to end on an outside edge and I think it might be due to where my hip is when I land but also general discomfort in going backwards outside edge. Should you be able to do backward outside edges first before attempting a waltz jump? And when you land, are your hips open to the left? Everyone at the rink makes it look so easy!
As a roller skater who is going ice skating in a few days, I just wanted to see if they were different on each skate
Hi Julia, do you have any advice on how to rock onto the toepick for the jump? Sometimes when I jump I don’t take off from my toepick and take off through just my edge, but sometimes I can manage to rock onto my toepick, and it’ll be great if you can give me some advice :)
This was great! Can you do salchow next?
I will definitely try and get to Salchows soon!
Hello
I really am struggling to land on my outside edge...
I always land on an inside edge I have been practising the waltz jump for months...
Just wondering if there is any advice for that and for what I may be doing wrong
Thank you for these tutorials! I'm going ro start working on this one the next time I go to the rink.
Just curious, where can I get boots simular to yours? I don't see brown or tan boots online too often.
My boots are custom Harlick skates. Most of the brown/tan skates you see are custom made. There is one company that recently started making a stock tan boot but I have really mixed feelings about it. Edea makes a boot called the 'showgirl' that comes in tan with a red bottom. It is designed for pro skaters/coaches who aren't skating as much. The mixed feelings come from the fact that I know several people who have ordered them and then were unhappy. But they were all switching from Harlick so I'm not sure how much of their unhappiness was that their Harlicks were custom and these aren't, or if it is just because it is such a cheeper boot?
Hello Julia,
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I actually learned how to do the Waltz Jump with this video and I feel safe doing it now. Only quastion I cannot answer myself is: how can I jump higher than just taking off the ice a few centimeters? Do I have to go deeper in my knee on the sakting knee for take off or bring my knee more up from the free leg?
Thank you for your answer!
So glad my tutorial was a help to you. For a higher jump you will want to do a few things. Increase your speed at take-off, deepen the bend into your take-off leg and then increase the force of your jump off the ice (and also jump all the way through your rocker so that even the tips of your toes are pushing). And finally you will want to get the strongest swing to the front through your free leg that you can. hope that helps!
Hello Julia,
Thank you very much for all these ways to increase my jump height. As soon as the ice rinks will re-open, I will get on the ice an try it :)!
I hope you see this:
I have a problem I can only do the waltz jump entering backwards turning around and then do the jump not from a fowards entrance
the person in the reflection at 3:40 is GOING SO HARD
I can do the waltz jump fine, it’s just I’m terrified of jumping. I can do a half flip as needed for freestyle 1, but I just cannot do the waltz jump. Any tips?
Thank you now i now how to do a walz jump
Yay! Have fun!
is it posible to do this with inline skate?
Thank you for the amazing lessons, you explained this so much better then my coach ever did ( Shh, don't tell her ) but I have a question.. Is it safe to attempt this jump with Jackson Elles? I don't know if this boot matches with my level of skill ;(
Awe, thank you for the positive feedback! The Waltz jump is definitely safe to do in Elles. Good for you for checking!
@@CoachJulia ^^
Ive been jumping for a while now (im up to lutz singles) but only taking group classes and no one really emphasized the purpose of the toe pick and the natural jumping motion you need to maintain even in ice skates of rocking up to the toe even on edge jumps. I had been getting some hip pain and wonder if it is from that. This and your loop video have me needing to rehash my technique a bit.
What do you think about jumping to your other rotation (clockwise vs ccw)? I hate how the coaches want you to pick one but like I am 36 and just learning and both feel the same to me and I don't want to develop overuse or muscle imbalances.
Coaches usually have you choose a side, because as your jumps increase in difficulty (and spins) you want to rotate the direction that is more natural for your body, so that you are not adding any challenge to an already challenging maneuver. Unless you are planning on training like an elite level athlete for hours and hours on the ice, you shouldn't have to worry about overuse or imbalances.
Do you have a video on how to do this jump off ice? And also 2 foot spin off ice
This jump is great to practice off ice, just eliminate the backward crossovers and the rest of the technique should be about the same.
@@CoachJulia thanks for answering 💓
I feel like I can do it on the wall, but once I’m off the wall I get nervous, any help?
Can you do pivot turns like how to turn directions in skates?
Hey, I actually have 3 tutorials up right now about changing direction in skates. There are two about ‘Three Turns’ and one about ‘Mohawk turns’. I hope you find them helpful!
ThriveDiaries Thankyou so much!!
On all your videos you never start the video by first showing the skill and then talking about it and breaking it down, you go right into talking about it. It's very helpful to structure tutorials by first showing what it is you are going to teach.
I have been doing that for a while now actually, but this is an older video, before I began putting a demo first.
great explanation, thank u Julia, how large should be the distance between taking off and landing ? my height is 5ft
The largest I have heard of is 25’, so go for anywhere less than that. 😉 Or you could set a goal equaling your height.
@@CoachJulia thx for reply, I'll try my height as a goal, and will keep the current record of 25' in mind 🦘💥
Can you do it going forward or just backwards??🤔
