HOW TO DO A TOE LOOP JUMP || OFF-ICE TRAINING | Coach Michelle Hong

[@kylaignacio3956]

I'm broke asf so i can't afford ice skating. So off ice tutorials are my only choice. I'm very thankful to youu😭🙏. Maybe if i can afford ice skating someday, I'm gonna do this. But for now, I'm just gonna watch and learn from online tutorials. I'm just gonna watch my idol skaters on yt hehe

[@elizaveta.gromova]

U should get roller skates and do these jumps on theM cause I do that 🙂

Getting a simple off ice spinner (plastic with rocker) for ~$15 (in 2024) can go so far in providing you spin practice with no access to ice. You can develop good centering and technique for a solid foundation for when you can actually skate one day.

Thank you!! My biggest dream is to become an figure skater but sadly there is no rink in my town or anywhere near me. I hope I will be able to figure skate someday. Until then, i'll try to learn some off ice jumps and maybe try them on roller blades. 💗

[@TheLarryBrown]

Good video. It does demonstrate how useful off ice practice can be. My first on ice attempts at toe loops were bumbling clueless disasters, some off ice rehearsal as shown could really help one's knowledge and experience level when one, ahem, hits the ice.

[@TheLarryBrown]

8:30 One thing coach doesn't mention is that this exercise in one foot balance is not as easy as it looks. Observe how stable is coach when she does it, then go try it yourself. You will find you're wobbly and can't stand stably on one foot like coach does. This shows, again, the value of this off ice practice. With a lot of practice we can get stable like coach is, and obviously that will be a big benefit to our skating,

This IS fantastic! Moves are slowed down and shown on the ground! Very creative and helpful teaching! Thanks~~

[@Lily-lz1uk]

Thanks for this video! I’m finally able to practice my toe loop with confidence and without cheating the jump! I do artistic rollerskating, but I still found this video really helpful :) 💗

[@shannona4874]

This is fantastic! Thank you during quarantine my rink has yet to reopen for public skate and I can’t afford a coach and ice time for anything other than public skate/group lessons before quarantine I had just started learning jumps

[@lanajones8008]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial!! It’s really helpful to have the jumps broken down like this.

[@totoff92]

thank you very much ; its a great tuto full of very usefull informations

[@takingabigfatshit4292]

Thank you so much for this! I started figure skating in december last year and practicing new jumps and spins off ice is very fun and the way you explain is very easy to pick up on! Thank you again :)

[@takingabigfatshit4292]

@Onyx good job! I’ve come quite far already. For me it took me about 2 months to do the salchow, I trained about 2 hours every week!

[@takingabigfatshit4292]

@Onyx the toe loop jump came to me very quickly, after my coach explained it to me it only took me a few tries until I was able to do it! So I would say the toe loop doesn’t take as long then the salchow, but that’s how it went for me :)

[@takingabigfatshit4292]

@Onyx no problem! Anytime :))

[@TheLarryBrown]

​@@takingabigfatshit42922 hours per week is not going to get anybody anywhere. Ice skating is harder than that. I'm thinking a minimum of two days per week, 3 hours per session practice, plus class on top of that. That would make for something like 7 hours per week at a minimum.

[@victoriarudy7849]

I love all of your off ice tutorials. Thank you for posting! ☺️

[@3y312un3]

It's the first jump that i get, the only one that i can do 100% sure and as some girls can frown i was assuming it was decent but not really 😂 And yeah, i might have the double one someday if i work enough and manage to correct my feet Your technic must be awesome...

[@CoachMichelleHong]

you got this! keep drilling the basics :)

[@zvezdanaveljkovic5322]

I didn't understand how to do it at all i couldn't understand my trainer's when they show it to me it looked impossible and now i finally understand what im actually suppose to do thanks

[@MsLadyFuchsia]

omg - after watching your vids, i feel like i've been doing the toe loop all wrong all these years!! taking notes and going to try this on the ice next session!!! i've always wondered about that right leg take off - i've been trying to get it with the wrong "toe axel" approach with the heel turning forward on the ice... yeeks!

[@slkjj2611]

Honest to God, this helped me so much. My main issue is that I wouldn't cross my leg in front as I spun in the air, and especially did not lead with the heel when I jumped. Your emphasis on the 'sliding' of the right foot after 'striking the ice' really helped me develop a habit, to the point where it had become natural to me, and felt goofy when I didn't do it. Thank you so much!

[@leannemartin9137]

I don’t understand this jump....my coach also teaches to pick far behind and draw heel to toe....but all the jumps I see done on the ice, it seems that they pick right behind and jump simultaneously

[@Cindy-bb9bq]

Leanne Martin their are many way of doing it

[@totoff92]

It looks like that because when you jump its also a matter of timing the successive actions of the jump in a rather fast speed. At the beginning we do it too slowly to really take off but once your muscle memory of the jump is ready its much easier and more " fluid".

[@MovingON-r6j]

I’m pretty sure you have to do it far behind you to get enough speed to get high enough, maybe try to find slowed down videos because I put my foot far behind me when I do it, my other foot just catches up quickly

[@TheLarryBrown]

It's easier to demonstrate the far toe pick reach in practice than it is to do it for real. Also because in practice things are demonstrated slowly but they happen quickly on ice.

[@jeffmcnair7424]

I tried the toe loop jump a long time ago, but it was during public skate. I really do hope the ice rinks open back up soon.

[@TheLarryBrown]

toe loops during public skate are the same as if done during private rink time.

[@vampiresdiary1835]

Thanks for sharing the technique you are an awesome teacher.God bless you. You helped me a lot with my toe loop. 💞

[@PandaLaVeraa]

My toe loop is the worst, thanks for the tutorial ♡

[@TheLarryBrown]

6:00 When teaching the toe loop all coaches, inclduing this one, will talk about "leading with the heel" and not turning the skating foot forward before it leaves the ice. This coach calls that bungled jump a "toe axel," Coach Julia calls it a "waltz jump with a fancy entrance." When demionstarting, the coaches exaggerate the difference and make it look obvious, but in action the difference is extremely small. Play these two demo jumps at 6:00 at .25x speed and you will see that coach pivots on the heel of the trailing foot, making that foot leave the floor when it has already twisted 90 degrees by pivoting on the heel. So it's not really jumping with the heel facing forward as we are instructed to do. This demonstrates the subtlety of the difference between a good jump and a bad one, and another reason why these exercises at 6:00 don't seem quite right.

[@emilyschriner9788]

Would these tutorials possibly help with roller skating I mean Ice skating is different??

[@Name-tn1zg]

I don’t think so

[@wherearetheavocados9077]

I roller skate and these videos really help me

[@anjavojinovic5003]

I think so! There’s a jump called the males that’s pretty much the toe loop, so I’d assume that this would work.

i might be here just cuz im recreating yuri katsukis choreography

[@mikaelaryn]

omg omg omg can you post it 💁‍♀️

[@yangjiao4269]

Did you draw the cover pictures yourself? They are so nice.

[@pujpromptunikjoy6971]

Michelle,could you do a loop jump tutorial?

[@skatersam9988]

I’m gonna guess that if we want to practice our off ice doubles, we can just add a loop at the end of the jump

[@TheLarryBrown]

6:00 I'm not sure about the advisability of this one. With this you're traning yourself to do various moves that you won't be doing on the ice. You're turning the "tap" foot out into a spread eagle position, that's something beginner skaters can't do and they will need to work on it. That's an extreme stretch that you won't need to do on the ice. That's not training you to tap that toe pick into the ice but rather is teaching you to land on the heel of that foot, which would be a disaster on the ice. That is not teaching you to do the crucial mini-pivot of dragging the heel backwards, but instead is essentially practicing to skip that crucial move.

[@franslam7398]

Can this jump be done with an outside 3-turn? Or is there another similar jump with an outside 3 turn?I l legit was watching someone do this with a outside 3-turn and watched over and over again to copy it. I practiced it that way and I've nailed that jump but now I don't know what jump I've been doing all this time! I don't know whether to laugh or cry😭😂 what the hell is that one called omg EDIT: btw I'm a quad/roller skater and I can't find any artistic roller skating coaches in my area in London, UK so I just watch how ppl do things and copy. Most times there's no tutorial so I take in the steps and copy them. Now I don't know if I even learned a legit jump😭 EDIT2: I just found it, it's a flip jump!
