Hello Skaters! Today I am going to try and explain the difference between 4 of the figure skating turns... Three Turns, Brackets, Counters and Rockers. They can be pretty confusing to understand, so I hope my this video helps you understand, as you learn the 32 different versions of these turns!

Yay! Rockers and counters have arrived on Coach Julia! Sometimes when i do a bracket, i get a countrr by accident! 😅 I hope it still looks nice.

Lol, yeah, accidental turn improvisations happen all the time. 😆

Of all the explanations about these turns and how to tell them apart, yours is the easiest for me to understand and remember. Thank you!

Love these videos! You’re so good at explaining stuff. Would love to see a video about the “finesse” of posture and lines? I can do most of the MITF and jump all the singles but my choppy and robotic looking back crossovers still give me away as someone who started skating recently as an adult.

You're really amazing with explaining all this. Skating for my second time in a week after a 20 year hiatus, I think I was able to figure out the Mohawk turn!

Thank you do much! I have so much fun ahead of me. So far I'm fluent with inside and outside forward to backwards 3 turns. I feel I'm gonna have a blast with counters and rockers.

I am enjoying any drills, skills, and modifications you can give. Group lessons seem to go through a required progression bypassing that. I may be at 4-6 level forever, but hopefully I can still increase skills. Thanks!

Thank you Julia! ❤ Your explanation has helped me a lot, it is very difficult for me to change direction with only one foot, I appreciate if you have more tips

Thank you. I’m only at 3 turns and brackets right now. But now I know what to expect in the coming months. With that said, I do have an emergency Q; for the 6 jumps, which ones have back spins for their rotations, and which ones have forward spins? My main problem is the toe-loop. I’ve been going through your videos and other resources, but can’t get a definitive answer on whether the toe-loop uses the back spin or not.

@CoachJulia Жыл бұрын

Excellent question. The single Salchow and Single Toe loop don't really feel like they have a back spin rotation, but in fact all the jumps rotate like a back spin. It is especially noticeable once you do multiple rotations in a jump. I will answer this in more detail in a future Q&A video! I have the question noted to answer!

@yjchoi17 Жыл бұрын

@@CoachJulia oh no…I thought my salchows were almost there. I’ll have to rebuild it with the back spin for doubles. (Hopefully I have enough in the tank for doubles) I’m glad that I asked though.

As I have said before, the value of your coaching through these tutorials is absolutely invaluable. Thanks again Julia. I am starting back to skating in the Fall / Winter sessions at my rink here in Toronto, and I am so grateful for your videos. While I am here I wonder if you can address the differences between a 7' and 8 ' rocker. I have just switched to and 8' and and wondering how much this might affect turns? Thanks so much. Take care.

With counters do we start face away from the starting circle both going forwards and backwards ?

Thank you for this, I do have a question tho. When I’m doing a 3 turn, when I Push off my right to go left I’m perfectly fine but when I push off my left to go right I end up dropping my foot as I’m about to turn.

I would love to be able to answer this, unfortunately without seeing what your body is doing, I can't really help diagnose the problem. Perhaps you can send me a video link.
