How to do the 10&2 Mohawk Skating Mechanic

Learning game breaker mechanics can help your skating stand out immensely from the crowd. In this Train 2.0 hockey video, CEO Jason Yee breaks down how to do the 10&2 mohawk skating mechanic, a crucial skill for any hockey player looking to improve their skating on the ice.
Learn the proper technique with step by step progression so players of all ages and skill levels can begin training this mechanic and become a higher quality skater. Jason shows a couple of different drills to begin feeling this movement utilized by NHL stars like Cale Makar, Connor McDavid, and Sidney Crosby.

Was sent this by a friend after discussing it. This breaks it down so much better and I always considered my feet being in a straight line and not having the mobility. Will definitely be trying to learn this now.

[@Train2point0]

Love to hear it. So many people think this is a mobility issue when in fact it’s a motor pattern problem that can be trained in through repetition and awareness.

[@BWT599]

After 4 months I finally had the light bulb after taking a closer look to Jason's mechanics while I was teaching my kids. I can't emphasize enough how much forward shin angle helps with dialing the 10 and 2, especially when you feel the heel pressure alternate between each foot. Big props and thank you to Jason and Train 2.0. on the coach's call where my questions were answered about my challenges with the 10 and 2.

[@Train2point0]

You are very welcome my friend, glad you are enjoying the membership 👍

[@yoonsanglee5803]

Wow, this channel is great! Other channels show "do like this", but Jason shows "how to do it." You got another subscriber today.

[@Train2point0]

Thanks for that, glad you're enjoying it 👍

[@Train2point0]

Thanks for watching! Do you call it the 10&2 or the Mohawk?

[@PuckHead00]

Perhaps, I’m just old (in my 50s), but I was always taught this was a spread-eagle (from figure skating terminology). 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@qzew_l]

@@PuckHead00yeah my mom put me in figure skating lessons so i can learn it and its kinda embarrassing but it helped me and they called it that

[@PuckHead00]

@@qzew_l There’s nothing embarrassing about that, and many NHLers work closely with figure skating coaches to further refine their skating skills. I’m so glad it helped you learn this move … nice job! 😊 P.S. I’m also glad I wasn’t losing my mind with the terminology. 🤣 LOL

@@PuckHead00 thanks

[@mattraven69]

The biggest focus i had put on me was to get good at my mohawks. Once again, sunday morning.. gassed up to get to the rink. Thank you Jason Yee iTrain 2.0

That clarifies everything. Thank you so much!

[@jeffluebbe5521]

I’ve been having trouble because I’ve been “holding” the Mohawk like you stated. I’m so stoked to try this on the ice!!! Thank you, you got a sub from me. Keep it up 😀

[@Train2point0]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it.

[@aaronwhite1786]

Hope you had luck! I've been working on mine lately, because I can comfortably do the thing with my left foot leading, but for some reason, my right side just refuses to follow along. I hit the rink for 30 minutes the other morning and pretty much just worked on 10&2's the entire time.

[@jeffluebbe5521]

Nice man! 11 months later I can do it continuously in a circle. It reminded me of learning to ride a bike as a kid. One day it just clicked. I have to say I’ve been doing a lot of hip exercises and they’ve helped a ton! Keep at it!!!!

[@aaronwhite1786]

@@jeffluebbe5521 That's always the best part of skating and hockey. I remember the first time I was skating, turning and just instinctively kicked a puck up to my stick with my skate... Got back to the bench and was like "Oh wow...I just did that without thinking. Cool."

[@douglasruddick9656]

It’s a very good skill and Jason explained this very well just keep trying this guys 😊

[@Train2point0]

Thanks Doug, appreciate the kind words!

[@BruceSchwartz007]

I'm excited to try this. You made it seem so approachable! And I like the name 10 & 2.

이거 잘하고 싶은데 생각처럼 잘 안돼요 ㅠㅠ 영상 보면서 많이 연습해 보겠습니다 감사합니다😂

[@Jacobzz]

A great example player for this would be Antonio Stranges I think

[@Train2point0]

Absolutely, a couple highlight reel goals last year using this footwork.

[@ssxsdf234hleskwe3]

"It's a skill thing; not a mobility thing." Not sure you have seen my immobile hips 🙂 Would like to believe you but it sure feels like a mobility thing. I feel like I can't open up my hips enough to get my front skate pointed in the right direction. The end result is that my front foot carves an arc back to the middle causing me to lose control. Will keep trying. Thanks for the great content.

[@Train2point0]

Haha I will always challenge that. Once you get the motor patterning down you will see 👍 glad you're enjoying it!

[@parkerbrough3852]

I will say it should be a little bit of a mobility thing. Don’t rely on your knees in this movement, it will hurt them slightly if you do it a lot but use more of your hips to do this. If you can open your hips up it helps a lot to do this. And hurts less keep the core tight and don’t hyper extend.

[@milpitians5621]

I've been trying to pull off this skill for a while now. The biggest problem with me is that I keep spinning out after trying to hold the pose. So I will get into the mohawk stance, glide for two seconds (I know you said you didn't have to hold it in the video, but I'm trying to hold it like Crosby does), then spin out. I'm guessing this has to do with my back foot curving first, which then makes my forward foot spin to retain balance. I essentially do a half transition. When holding the position, do you concentrate on your back foot position more, the forward foot position, or is it just trying to keep the balance exactly in the middle? Same question on the blade pressure area. Do you focus on the toes, mid, or heel of the blade when providing pressure? Nice video BTW. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@Train2point0]

Glad you enjoyed it. So focus on shifting the weight equally foot to foot, to keep the movement and build momentum. Blade pressure, heels as this will help your rocker, helping your movements be smooth and efficient.

[@xskinyx]

I'm gonna give 10&2 another go, I gave up on it years ago. I have to get super low and it still requires so much tension to keep my hips open, that I've always figured even if I learned it I couldn't put it in my arsenal. I've seen much, much worse skaters than me have no trouble with 10&2. But truth is, just being able to do one 10&2 stride comfortably opens up a ton of options for deception

[@Train2point0]

Couldn't agree more.

[@andrewwhittaker2715]

Guess i am confused as to how you generate heel pressure from the trailing skate which in essence is going backwards - is it rockering?

[@Train2point0]

Bingo 💪

[@834Oleg]

👍

[@peterkortvel]

Wondering what situations it is useful in a play - instead of just normal turns.

[@Train2point0]

Pass reception + deception off the rush.

[@dooddude8669]

Hey man do you play triple a

[@mcthunderstick2374]

What is the step in between the boards and the part after that on the ice? I’ve tried the boards, rocking from my heels on inner edges and trying to keep my hips and ankles loose, but no matter what I can never get the rear leg to engage and hold the edge when not on the boards. When I let that blade contact the ice it either starts to act as a brake, or I grab the ice and due to poor mobility I instantly initiate a hard turn rather than a 10-2 lateral movement. I cannot for the life of me get beyond what you’re doing on the boards.

[@Train2point0]

Small rocker foot to foot, you need to spend equal time on each foot is how you fix this.

[@wandmayeslupik6302]

My right hip bone doesn’t rotate enough to do this

Leading with my right foot is so much easier than leading with my left. Practice the weaker side.

[@Train2point0]

Perfectly natural for players to have a dominate side.
