you’re so kind and teaching so good, i’ve always wanted to do an axel jump but never had the confidence. now with your lesson i’m going to do it, thank you!
Helpful tip for lefties who are new to learning about jumps and spins...watch the video with a mirror angled so that you can see it in the reverse image. :)
Thank you, I’m a lefty skater and whenever I want to find out how to get better at a jump on RUclips, their are no lefty skaters... AND ITS FRUSTRATING!!!!
Awesome exercises! Would like to see a vid on flip(can't find one on the channel right now), some on spins - centering, entrance, and sit spin. Also some field moves (spread eagle), more turns (bracket, counter, rocker, choctaw) :)))

Thanks for the video! I am a little confused about jumping inside the circle vs outside the circle, could you please further elaborate on it? Thank you
Hi Mary. Excellent tutorials. Would you mind creating a tutorial on the Lutz jump please? I practice 2 enterances, from a mohawk and backwards crossovers. For some reason when I enter from the mohawk it is much easier but I don't get enough speed so my jump is tiny no matter how low I bend my knees, and from backwards crossovers I'm having trouble to even lift myself in the air. Thank you so much!! Looking forward
i just recorded my lutz tutorial! hopefully i can get it up next month :) i like doing it with a mohawk better too but when teaching, i start off with crossovers. maybe practice more speed with the half lutz?
@@CoachMarySkating thank you Mary! Looking forward to the video!! Speed is definitely not the issue for me, I have some guesses but I'll see if they are correct after I watch your tutorial
Hi Mary, This is the best tutorial for learning the Axel jump. 👍. I am working on the steps of learning the Axel. This is so helpful. Thank You so much 😊. I really appreciate. LISE 🎹 🎼 ⛸ 😍
you got this! lots of back spins, back spin with quick jump out/check outs, and off-ice! ensuring you have a quick snap into the axel and a tight back spin position
Dear Coach Mary, I just found your channel, thank you so much for your content! Could you perhaps make a video on in the air rotation technique? I can land the axel and a couple doubles, but I recorded my self jumping off ice and I saw that I turn with my head and upper torso more than my legs, and my axis is slightly tilted in the air. Do you have any tips or exercises to fix this? Thank you in advance!
Yuzuru Hanyu---two time Olympic champion and multiple world-record-holder---can only land a quad axel in practice. It is the hardest jump out there and barely attainable as the figure skating world is right now. It may become normal practice in the future, but the only quads landed in competition are every standard jump except the axel, as far as I've heard.
@@lizipearlvlogs As far as I know, Hanyu hasn't landed quad axel at all - no one has. There is footage of Hanyu attempting quad axel, but he never landed it. :P
i landed my axel 3 time 1 and a half years ago and now, when the harness is literally tied to me, I have amazing axels. the harness is literally clipped to the belt. as soon as the clips come off or the belt goes away, I pop the jump and don't go for it. everyone keeps telling me it's psychological, which ik it is, but the weird thing is that I know that I can do this jump, but it's like me body won't let me. idk what to do anymore. I've been skating for 9 years, I'm only on junior moves and haven't gotten a consistent axel. I've been competing in the same category for 3 years. i love skating, but I'm starting to wonder if it's worth wasting my parents money if I'm not improving. i just got new skates so hopefully that helps but I don't have much hope anymore tho :(
You got this! If the jump is there on the harness, you have the potential to do it off ice. :) also amazing with the junior moves, so close to gold! I have an off-ice axel guide on my website that can be helpful too!
Something that sucks for me is that I have a competitive friend, like, we hide that we're both always jealous of each other. She's SO close to landing her axel, and I can't land mine because I am still waiting for my new skates! They are supposed to come tomorrow. Time to break into them. I hope she doesn't land her axel soon. I'm not even close, and I know this sounds bratty, but I really want to be better than her. It's just because I feel like I spend so much money on figure skating for nothing. She never has classes yet she is better than me. Sad. Haha. Anyway, thanks for uploading this, hopefully I practice this stuff off ice today or tomorrow and maybe it'll help once my skates are broken into! 🤠
I also have the same thing with one of my friends but we have our own different strengths. Like for example she loves toe jumps and I’m toe jump illiterate. Like it took me a whole 2 months extra to get my flip consistent and we both started at the same time. Now she has her lutz down and I’m still a big work In progress. But when it comes to my axel my coach says I have the feel for it and if I’m just a bit tighter I should have it. But my friend is no where close to her axel. Same thing with spins my sits are pitiful while hers are pretty and my camels look good and she can barely hold a rotation. So when it comes to a skating friend it is best to look at everything as a whole what you might think is better than her and what she has better than you. Needless to say I would suggest progressing at your own rate and your axel will come eventually. Hopefully you have it done by now. So for any future jumps make sure you are not comparing yourself so much because that’s only going to make you feel worse.

Hi I know I'm 3 years late but just curious, how did it go?

I love this idea thanks!
Thank you, I’m a lefty skater and whenever I want to find out how to get better at a jump on RUclips, their are no lefty skaters... AND ITS FRUSTRATING!!!!
Great tutorial. The common mistake part is really on points. I have all those mistakes!!! I am having a hard time to fix my bad habits.
Good luck! It's tricky but you'll get it.
I tried to do a axle with no coach and I almost got it and after I watch your video I landed it😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos
That is awesome!
Thank you for watching! I plan to create more skating tutorials. Please comment below on what you would like to see!

Mary Dung Nguyen ahh thank you so much!
As someone who has been taking group lessons for 2 months.. I watch this video and I can’t help but get way ahead of myself.
yes it is something to look forward to! :)
Keep this jump in your back pocket as a goal. :) In the meantime, work on solidifying the basic edges, so that you can do this jump in the future. :)
You are terrific. Thanks for sharing.
thank you for watching!
How do you rotate in the air? I seem to get good height on my waltz but am afraid to go for the axel...
practicing off ice and back spins!
Thanks for all your videos. You are a beautiful skater.
Thank you so much Lauren!
great video and thank you for sharing
glad you enjoyed!
thank you
thank you for this!! im always under rotating, any tips? :))
you got this! lots of back spins, back spin with quick jump out/check outs, and off-ice! ensuring you have a quick snap into the axel and a tight back spin position
This was very helpful! Thank you! I followed! These warm ups I always did but now I do them more! I hope I can learn the jump
you got this!

great suggestion i'll work on this!
Thanks for the helpful video!! x
glad it was helpful!
Awesome. Thank you!

That’s amazing!!
thank you ipad lettering!
I know it’s not exactly your field, but do you know if it’s possible to do a scratch spin on roller skates?
sorry I do not roller skate but I am pretty sure it is possible! (?)
I’m going to the ice rink just bc I saw this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
awesome!

this is really good, can you do a tutorial on how to do a quad axel? if you can do it
• Bored • WT-
i can only do up to a double axel!
@@CoachMarySkating well, that's good enough for me, can you do a tutorial on that if you haven't already?

good luck on your axel and breaking in your new skates! maybe you guys can help/work with each other to both land your axel?!
that’s a good idea! thank you so much, maybe it’ll fix our friendship, too. hehe. thanks again! (:

impressive - liked and shared
thank you for doing that!
2:04 I thought the Axel was an edge jump? Why the toe pick?
Thats were you jump, its an edge jump because of the entry
-figure skater lmao
Can you do a video about double axel?
On my to do list!
Coach Mary - Figure Skating Tutorials!
Thank you!
Can I do this with my hockey skates on?
I've seen people try but I don't recommend as the toe pick helps you jump
It can't hurt to try! Oh, yes it can ... :-)
How?!?! I just can’t jump that height !!!
\
0:38
haha good video but ive been working on mine for a year and a half. its not gonna happen
You'll get it! It can take skaters several years. Totally normal.
