Beginner Footwork Sequences using Mohawk Steps - Figure Skating Tutorial

[@lyla.m8784]

Hi!! My name is Lyla and im 12 years old. i used to skate about 3 years ago, but i was never a professional at ice skating. Then, i stopped skating. Because of the pandemic, ive decided to get back into skating again! Although, i have definitely forgotten how to ice skate...haha! i am currently taking ice skating lessons so that i can learn how to skate again since i forgot. My ice skating lessons are helping me skate a lot...but, your videos are super helpful also!! With a combination of going to my ice skating lessons and watching your videos, im sure i am going to get so much better, and then ill finally remember how to skate again! So i just want to say thank you, Julia, for helping me remember how to skate. I hope you keep making wonderful videos like this in the future! i hope you can reply!

I love your tutorials and I absolutely love the way you teach and explain things! I am about to get a private coach for my first program, thank you for everything :D

[@CoachJulia]

You are so welcome!

[@MusicMakesOne]

Thank you Coach Julia for this tutorial! I hope you appear on skaters and non-skaters KZbin algorithms, so we can all watch and learn from you!

[@CoachJulia]

I hope so too!

[@spiceupyourbeauty]

I usually go to classes at my local rink and then I go home, watch and learn from your tutorials and go back to lesson again! I love the way you teach us and appreciate all the tips you give here. I’d love to take your class someday even for like 10 minutes!

[@olgabondarenko2866]

Julia, your channel is amazing! Thanks a lot for giving such tutorials with not only single elements, but how to combine them. Can`t wait to try this sequence with Mohawk steps.

[@mcao8672]

Thank you so much! I have been working on similar step sequences like: 2 stokes 2shasa Mohawk pump back crossover step forward 1 more shasa

[@dalegardner9038]

So fun! Cant wait to try this. I've seen competitions where they do this so fast that I couldn't tell they were doing mohawks! Thanks for breaking it down. Love it!

[@CoachJulia]

Have fun! Glad you enjoyed the Video!

[@tankmode6296]

Great one! Ill be trying this next Saturday at my local rink in south africa😁

[@pannicolescu3995]

I really love these footwork exercises. They are so helpful in my focussed s on my technique. Easily my favorite skating videos ever.

[@mahshidkhoshlessan7911]

I’m a beginner. This is awesome! I’ll be working on this footwork this week. Thank goodness 🤩

[@CoachJulia]

So glad you enjoyed it

[@tomciras6672]

Coolest Barrel Roll Coach, Backward Outside Edge, so much fun, thanks again

[@CoachJulia]

Glad you had fun! I imagine a year on- you are pretty good at these by now!

[@tomciras6672]

@@CoachJulia Hi Coach Julia, Wow thanks for reply. I'm skating better for sure than a year ago. FW on Lt outside edge, BW on Rt OE (Best part), set out FW on Lt IE (inside edge), to RT FW IE. Thanks Coach!

[@kennethelliott9248]

Your lessons and tutorials are valuable to me. If you haven’t done so already, I would like to see lessons on rockers (which I am currently struggling with).

[@haymishthelop905]

I learn by sight (I'm very hands-on) and never knew this move was called the Mohawk! Thank you Coach Julia, your tutorials are concise and effective!

[@CoachJulia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheLarryBrown]

If you are any length at all in your skating career and don't know what Mohawks are you seriously need new coaches.

[@MsWhitelilly]

Thank you some much! What you teach is precious for beginners !

[@CoachJulia]

Glad to hear that!

[@juryk666]

I love the mohawk cross steps

[@tonyzarate8457]

Hi coach Julia, I am very happy because today I coudl do the crossover !!!! I just did follow yours advices and finally I could do it.

[@CoachJulia]

Wonderful!

[@tania8205]

You are so good in teaching... it helps me a lot to practice 'cause I love skating... thak you very much, Julia!

[@CoachJulia]

You're so welcome!

[@aliweesner8736]

I just learned c steps today so I am excited to try these! especially the last two!

[@CoachJulia]

Hope you enjoy!

[@metalheadlass9868]

It looks sooo fancyyy !

[@jennrangi]

i've been working on the first one with my coach for a bit but the part where you switch the arms just didn't click for me but seeing you do it and explain it was so helpful and i think i got it down in my head now so i'll try this at the rink this weekend. thank you so much! 💖💖

[@CoachJulia]

Oh I am so glad that my videos could help back-up your coach's teaching. Sometimes you just need it said or explained a little differently for it to click.

[@LZ-un7ky]

Thank you for all these videos Coach Julia!

[@Jazzyk-zt7pe]

Love your videos inspired me to go back to basic lessons in the fall. I'm going back to the rink daily to practice for now.v

[@CoachJulia]

Thats awesome!

[@deesterdee6650]

I always look forward to your videos. Just love your instruction 🤩👏

[@CoachJulia]

Glad you like them!

[@tomciras6672]

I use your Mohawk X-step routinely, momentum is slowed by the inside leg (you seem to flip it inward) but I have to brake/slid to change direction otherwise I gain too much speed, This is over two years old and I us it all the time. I'd like you to redo alot of your nice tricks, Thank you Coach Julia

[@michaelkurtz1967]

Lots of great information. Teach them how to fall correctly to reduce accidents and injuries. Regards

[@user-dmitriykir]

Спасибо ❤

[@SuperHubian]

This last step is not a true outside Mohawk yet. But a true open/close outside Mohawk is quite difficult. And this sequence is great fun and suitable for beginners. Thanks

[@james.climbs]

Would you be able to do a video on the 8-step mohawk sequence (the one one adult silver test?)

[@paulasfigureskating5612]

Thank you for sharing your fabulous C-step variation sequences tutorial! :-)

[@CoachJulia]

You are welcome!

[@prapatsiri7615]

Thank you so much for your Teaching

[@kayyarixo]

Thank you so much coach Julia you have helped me a lot 🥰!!

[@CoachJulia]

I'm so glad!

[@robind2813]

Thanks for the exercises! In the cross stop one, is that an outside c-step?

[@CoachJulia]

Yes it is! Good eye.

[@lilyc2820]

I've just realized this! I've been working on these for a while, also with the help of this video, and they're still not quite right. The weight change doesn't go so well. I hope they improve if I focus on the outside edges.

[@dhiaputriutami223]

Thank you coach ❤️❤️❤️

[@CoachJulia]

You're so welcome!

[@rinaholleyable]

That’s wonderful! I am always looking for some Mohawk exercises to practice, what a great timing! When doing the second Mohawk exercise, the free leg does not need to come close to the instep of the other skating leg?

[@CoachJulia]

If you are doing it slowly, you can do a nice tidy 'closed' mohawk, but with more speed, it is much easier to do it with an 'open' mohawk. Both are considered proper mohawks, just used in different ways.

[@rinaholleyable]

Ahh that explains! I’m going to try these Mohawk sequences. Thank you!

[@joaneconway9712]

Hi there coach can you please kindly do a beginner warm up for beginners on ice. And also how to break in your new boots for beginners. Thank you I’m advance

[@KeysToTheHeart]

Love the videos! I’m joining a beginners course at our local skate rink. Where do you get your skate tights if I may ask? And what skates would you recommend for this? I know how to skate on the ice, but I’m hoping to learn how to skate backwards and learn a couple new techniques so I would like a quality pair of skates :)

[@natakozakova5961]

👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍thanks a lot!

[@CoachJulia]

You are welcome!

[@CozyColoring-forYou]

One day I will learn how to do it.

[@CoachJulia]

Just keep practicing!

[@MDMarck1401]

Wowww☺🤗thank forma the video 👧💖💌

[@CoachJulia]

You’re welcome 😊

[@ariane51000]

I just love this and I love (mohawks) c-turns

[@CoachJulia]

I am glad you like it! The second one can be done with either inside or outside mohawks, it really depends on the skater's hip flexibility.

[@sashamauricette1638]

I’ve make it in one time and I’m not Ice-Skater, I will learn how to ice-dance and my strength is because of classic dance. I was 4 when I begun and so, pending 15 years after it, I was a studend to be an attorney but now I want to live with ice-dance . I have my own logical, and I have no coach , just my Julia and because of her, I learn so much things and I don’t need yo to do all this mouvements just because I’ve learned to march as Hokey men and I just have to put up on front my leg . And after, I make Mohawks

[@mauricette6429]

Hi Julia, May you teach me dance steps more than when you invited the woman who kows ice-dacing . I thank you for it. All my best Carine

[@TheLarryBrown]

Here's an honest question. At 6:16 you do the "Mohawk cross step" at speed all the way down the ice. I hear a lot of scraping noises while you are doing that. Is that your toe picks scraping and making all that noise?

[@ulaabaj1138]

[@CoachJulia]

😊

[@rienn8559]

LMAOOOO my coach tried teaching me this today but i wasnt getting it and she was clearly so done 💀💀💀

[@CoachJulia]

😆 Oh boy. Lol. Maybe you can work on it and surprise her.
