Inspiring work, really excellent, as in all your videos. I like Coach Lloyd and his videos are good, but Coach Julia is without question, and by good measure, the best ice coach on RUclips. This video is so well organized, the sound is great, Coach Julia speaks in a friendly and pleasing way but she isn't silly or annoying, she hits the balance between "all business" and "wasting time" just right. In 9 short minutes this video teaches all advanced Mohawks in a capable way and I can't see anyone coming away unsatisfied with the instruction. I really like the close ups of the feet and the sound work on that. Also Coach Julia's cameraperson is great. Gosh I wish I could be this good at something.
I have been watching your videos for a couple of months since I got some inline figure skates and I’ve been learning figure skating by myself (thanks for being my coach 😬) I find a lot of your videos are really transferable to inlines ☺️ I just realized I have been doing back outside mohawks for a week!! …now I just need to learn all the other ones, including forwards 😳 I can only do forward inside at the wall because the fear of falling on the pavement in inlines is high!
I love your explanations! My daughter is struggling with mohawks but you have great explanations on checking and moving the upper body and let the lower body follow! Thank you!
Coach Julia you are the best. Your simple approach and language for a difficult move is great. Nothing complicated so young skaters understand easily. My 9 year old granddaughter watches your video before/after her lesson. And she loves it. Keep up the great work. Many instructors could learn from YOU! Thank-you.
Hi coach! You made it look so easy so I said to myself that I think I can do this but all hell broke loose when I tried it on ice today. I will keep on trying cause these moves are so beautiful the way you did it . Thank you so much . You are incredible ❤️👍😊
Sorry coach julia for commenting on an old video! I have a problem with maintaining my balance after doing the mohawk, i wonder if i need to do strength training to solve this problem? I also have problems with edge work and dance step that are backwards, and i think it's the problem with not using the back of my blade because im scared of falling backwards, do you have tips so i can lean more on the back of the blade when skating backwards?
hi! i know this video is old, but i’ve been searching for a tutorial on the swing roll mohawk transition between forward and backward crossovers in the adult pre-bronze moves/skating skills test. wondering if that’s actually a forward outside mohawk?! thank you in advance if you ever see this! ❤
Hi Julia, thanks for the very useful and practical video. Do you have one size less skates or is it fine to have a bit loser ones for one foot skating? Thank you
Forward Inside Mohawks are usually considered the easiest, and I do teach them first. I posted a FIM tutorial back in 2019, so it was high time I finally got to the rest of them! 😆
There is!! Good eye. When you go from your back outside edge to your forward outside edge, that is the back outside Mohawk (C-step) you are referring to.
It is always best to learn all the different turn variations, but for absolute necessity you should learn both of your forward inside Mohawks and your right back outside mohawk.
I just watched the one foot glude video cause i just started figure skating like a few weeks ago and couldnt seem to get balanced hands since they keep moving forward even when i try not to do u have any tips for that? Cause i dont really know the cause for it
Are you doing forward or backward? Regardless, it will take some time to lock in, just like everything in skating. When I first read "one foot forward glide" on the instruction sheet, I thought "No brainer, I'll nail that in five tries and move on." Nope, took several weeks of diligent practice. It locked in in stages, always my left foot is better (I'm right handed but my left skating leg seems to have the bulk of the talent), then left foot got more solid, then skating a straight line, then long glides the entire length of the rink, then finally rock solid with people commenting how straight and steady and no arm or body movement. My right foot trailed way behind but eventually, with patience, it locked in, and boy does it feel great to nail it!!!! Now I am working on backwards and it's the same routine all over again. I do 25 glides each foot every practice session. The thing about these good skaters is that they spend a lot of time on the ice. I was just reading about Ronnie Robertson from 1952, he says he was skating 11 hours per day, 6 days a week. So even for people with talent it takes a lot of patience. I only skate 6 hours per week, so I have to expect it's going to take time.
Hi i started figure skating recently and I mainly skated alone with rental skates until i officially joined a class and well, my coach gave me professional skates with toe picks and all and I completely lost confidence that moment haha. Usually i do many turns and skate very fast and well just pretend im yuzuru hanyu hahahaha but i find it sooo hard to get used to those jagged teeth, like if i even tilts my foot a little bit to front its my doomed end. Its just about getting used r? Im going to join a training team next week and i dont want to disappoint the coaches, they were all like wow u do so well for a beginner but at the moment they gave me those skates i could barely move 😅 help
Me too. I hated those teeth so much I changed back to hockey skates and changed careers from figure skating to freestyle skating. I don't know why those teeth need to be gigantic like that. I call them "suicide skates." There's even a move dedicated to the teeth, you do a "superman" where you stub your toe and go flying to a belly flop on the ice. That first tooth is like 1mm off the surface of the ice during normal skating, it's just dumb. I wish I could grind it down. Coaches should advise people switching from hockey to figure skates to buy blades that have subtler toe picks.

That is awesome! I am so glad that my instruction has been able to help you!
Really love all types of Mohawk turns shown by Coach Julia, elegant and beautiful.
I am glad you like them!
I love your explanations! My daughter is struggling with mohawks but you have great explanations on checking and moving the upper body and let the lower body follow! Thank you!
I hope it helps her! Those are important skills!
Yay thank you for the variations video!!! I can’t wait to practice these next session 😊
You're so welcome!

Three cool things to do in Summer
Oh my, Summer is the time to skate for sure! So nice in the cool rink!
Hi coach! You made it look so easy so I said to myself that I think I can do this but all hell broke loose when I tried it on ice today. I will keep on trying cause these moves are so beautiful the way you did it .
Thank you so much . You are incredible ❤️👍😊
I enjoy every video that you make, brilliant teaching Coach Julia, thank you so much! ❤
Awe. Thanks so much for the Positive Feedback!
Awesome! Can you please do the forward scratch spin??
Great suggestion!
Nice tutorial as always!! Looking forward to more advanced footwork (Choctaw, rocker, counter, etc.)!
I am definitely working on getting to those tutorials soon!
Stepping to forwards to do a waltz jump or axel is a mohawk? 🤯 Mind blown.
Crazy right! Hidden Mohawks! 😆

Hi Julia, thanks for the very useful and practical video. Do you have one size less skates or is it fine to have a bit loser ones for one foot skating? Thank you
The forward outside closed Mohawk is so scary. Always fearful of stepping on the blade of my other skating leg. 😬
Muchas gracias por tu video saludos con cariño desde la Ciudad de México🦋💌🌎🎇🏷🤗😃
Teacher Julia, I want to learn the camel spin. 🥰
Is this the order that you usually teach these turns? In my opinion forward inside open mohawks are much easier than forward outside closed mohawks.
Forward Inside Mohawks are usually considered the easiest, and I do teach them first. I posted a FIM tutorial back in 2019, so it was high time I finally got to the rest of them! 😆
in waltz 3(turn), is there backward outside open mohawk?
There is!! Good eye. When you go from your back outside edge to your forward outside edge, that is the back outside Mohawk (C-step) you are referring to.
must i learn all of mohawk variations? what is the most useful mohawk as forward and backward? i want to participate in the adult competition
It is always best to learn all the different turn variations, but for absolute necessity you should learn both of your forward inside Mohawks and your right back outside mohawk.
@@CoachJulia i got it.thanks❤️
can you show how to do a spiral? I'm practicing but i cant do it
I do have a tutorial about spirals, you can find it in the 'gliding maneuvers' playlist. 🙂
Love your makeup today
Thank you so much!!
Your welcome
Love ya
