How To Do A Single Salchow! - Tips For Beginners - Figure Skating Tutorial

[@purrformance]

This one used to always confuse me because I would see some skaters jump with one foot and some with two. But i get it now.

[@TheLarryBrown]

In general the right foot does not touch the ice, but Some coaches do teach the jump with the right foot touching, so it can be done either way. This coach seems to be putting a lot of weight on that right foot and also using it to do some of the jumping, which makes her technique very different from the usual...However she doesn't comment on this subject in the video. This other coach covers this subject at time stamp 7:30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4Cre5WImqt3msksi=yMNK6xUad-t3wssQ Two foot is going to be easier than not, especially if you are using both feet to jump into the air as this coach seems to be doing. All else equal, two foot would seem to be a better technique.

Thank you for breaking up the jump into a progression of building block positions. All other videos and coaches just show you the finished product and say ok do it!

[@daemperador123]

Thanks for the tutorial! Your video on how to do a waltz jump really helped and I started to learn the salchow and it’s great that you have a video about it, love the way you explain and break it down, thanks!

[@victoriajxng]

thank you for the mohawk tip! i started learning the salchow from a 3-turn and i also thought that it looked very swingy..?

[@wizarding-chronicles]

Hi Jazmin! Thanks for making awesome tutorial videos! I learned my waltz jump in 30 minutes with your other tutorial a few months ago. (not a hyperbole) and now I'm trying different skills on the ice. Thanks again!

[@sianchild]

My salchows are pretty much a twizzle round into a waltz jump right now. Hopefully I'll improve watching this.

[@TheLarryBrown]

There's actually very little difference. Watch Coach Julia's salchow video and she delivers several lectures on "leading with the heel" that makes the difference. This video shows coach leading with the heel but she doesn't comment on it. As you are swinging your right foot around, twist the toe to point outwards. You're skating backwards on the left foot, there is a barrier to your left. You are going to swing your right foot towards that barrier, twist the foot so that the toe keeps pointing to the barrier as it swings around, rather than letting the toe swing around and point forward. That is all you need to do to lead with the heel and make it not a waltz jump.

My favorite jump (with the axel)😍for sure I’ll use those tips!

[@fredpilgrimm9545]

just got from the training session and my salchow is finally stable🎉 thanks for your tutorial! it immensely helped me❤

[@racanonymous6246]

Very nice tutorial, thank you. It would be helpful though to add some commentary on ensuring you "bend your knee and LIFT UP" (in the air) at the same time-----and skating tips on how to make this happen. Timing is critical for all jumps, even singles. And it's harder for adult skaters to get the timing together.

[@marion6538]

you’re a fantastic teacher. thank you so much for this detailed explanation !!

[@123siusun]

I have to say you provide the best online tutorial 👍

[@alexsasmrchannel]

This is a great tutorial! Thank you so much for making it 😄 I’ve been wanting to try doing a single salchow but I was too scared to try 😅 The way you broke it down into steps was great and easy to understand so I will try the first steps out on the ice next time!!

[@Qb6nb3rm]

Best tutorial ever!! Love from korea❤

[@amandaowens1008]

Ok could you do a break down like this for single lutz? I am returning back to the ice after a long time off. I got all my other singles pretty quickly but the lutz is just evading me. I like how you break things down.

[@kukuruyukyukyuk]

great video. Thank you. Please make a video about how to do an outside ina bauer.

[@victoriacaceres951]

Thank u very much for this video, it definitely helps!

[@wlchan7211]

I saw another skater did waltz jump. It was a 180 degree turn by jump from foreward to backward. If that's correct, Salchow as shown in the video is 360 degree turn by jump, isn't it? When you said "really really hard not to put second foot down", it's gonna be very hard given your talented skills . I think i won't try it unless i hire a coach....

[@carlosyu7929]

Before your take off, does your right (free) foot actually touch the ice? If so, how much weight do you put on that right foot? I notice few skaters like Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Nathan Chen do not put their free right foot down before the Sal take off. That's why I wanna learn your way (more popular) but I do not know how to do it.

[@ParisYOLO224]

I was taught to enter with 3T with right foot not touching the ground, and I ended up swirling like a donut.

[@carlosyu7929]

@@TheLarryBrown This coach from your video link had his right foot down on the inside edge. Elizabet Tursynbaeva and Kamila Valieva do their 4S with their right foot down on their outside edge. It's almost like a toe loop. Is it an easier entry?

[@TheLarryBrown]

@@carlosyu7929 I'm not an expert and I don't know the answer to that. The coach in my video is demonstrating with an exaggerated technique that may be different when put into actual practice but he doesn't endorse the two foot technique so he doesn't demonstrate it in action. Pros are going to have advanced technique that can be expected to be different than what is taught to us beginners, and I would expect extreme cases like quads to need modified techniques that lesser skaters would not use.

[@gruttero]

I have a question for you. How do you not feel awkward when you bring your leg in front? Maybe it’s because i’m not used to it, but whenever I go for a sal like that, it feels awkward and weird… any tricks for this?

[@Meadow881]

I always do my salchow with a Mohawk :)

[@supplilanguage8898]

So useful

[@blue_pullover]

thank you so much!!!!

[@watchergy]

thanks luv❤

[@juliapletcher3262]

Hey, sorry to ask but do you think you could also post a mirrored version of your tutorials? I’m a lefty & jump/spin clockwise and there’s not a ton of videos on that out there. I usually try to screen record and flip it in my camera role so I can see everything the opposite way but it almost always glitches or never saves :/

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

I so feel for you! I’m right-handed, but jump and spin clockwise. I, quite literally, had to practice 10X as long as my peers to get jumps. If I had to go back, I absolutely would have hired a private coach who rotated clockwise. It would have saved me so much time. I would have found the money somehow. And you’re right…I have yet to find any decent tutorials for people like us!

[@chiutwan]

Thanks for the tutorial! Like another comment, I'm also wondering if your right foot touches the ice before the take off. From the last jump in the video, it looks it does. If so, how much weight, if any, is transferred to the right foot?

[@zisang9614]

Same question! I hope the question could be answered, thank you very much.

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

Noooo. You don’t want your right foot touching the ice. It’s just coming along for the ride. If your right foot drops, at best you’ll have done an incorrect salchow, and at worst you’ll wipe out.

[@dbooth2008]

@@MSUSPARTANS1973 I do my Sal jump with my right (free) foot touching. Not much weight is on it, but i find it much more stable as I do the first 1/4 to 1/2 rotation. The right foot then kicks up off the ice just before I jump with my left foot. It's considered pretty normal nowdays.

[@manuelaalk22]

wait now im confused because my coach taught me to enter from a backward crossover..maybe it' just a beginner thing?

[@seungberry14]

I just learned to do a salchow jump and I got confused bc my teacher went too fast 😂😅

[@WehoOhla]

I know how to do a single axel but I have never seen or done any salchow

[@ralfimuller8948]

I can not help, but I can't see the difference between the Salchow in the video and a Waltz jump.
