I learned figure skating for one year at 10, and recently started picking up again at 25. I’ve been following this video and finally landed my first salchow in three weeks! Thank you so much for your helpful tips. I will now move on to your toe loop video :-)
I've been fighting for my salchow for about a month. Nothing helped.. no videos, even my coach saw me struggling with this and told me what my mistakes were, but I didn't know how to redo it correctly. But yesterday I jumped it. I rewatched your video about 5 times and finally jumped! And even got used to this jump. Thank you for your explanation so much!
I finally got to start figure skating lessons and because of this video I wasn’t totally behind on how to do the salchow. Same for the bunny hop and waltz jump. Thank you!!!
Thank you Julia ! You are by far the best teacher online. Sadly I live in a foreing country otherwise i would choose you as a coach but i really a apreciate to learn with you on youtube. It is really helpull, even when all the rinks of my country are definitely closed due the economic crisis, we keep the faith and still learning of ice wainting for the miracle to have ice rinks open again some day. Chers from Argentina!
Wow, thank you! I am so grateful that there are such kind people who watch my channel! We are all hoping for rinks to open back up around the world, and I will keep your rinks in Argentina in mind!
I just discovered your videos yesterday and they are fantastic. I had asked about a video on Salchows yesterday and here it is. Emphasizing leading with the heel is excellent. I had been thinking a Salchow just seemed like a fancy waltz jump. Now I know an improperly executed Salchow is indeed a fancy waltz jump. I am working on the 1/2 rotation jumps and am going to review all of your videos again tonight before a practice session tomorrow. I have a private on Tuesday and can talk to my coach some more about the proper movement pattern. The slow motion close ups really show what is happening. I am a very visually oriented learner so this is a great help.
Hey! I am so glad you found my channel, and even more so that my Salchow video was perfect timing for you! Thank you for the positive feedback and I hope the technique helps when you practice next.
Thanks for the tips. I take group lessons so sometimes its hard to get those extra technicalities or tips for what your doing. Ive been struggling with my salchow for weeks and I haven't managed to get off the ground yet. I will keep this stuff in mind next time I practice.
You are an awesome teacher. I’m not skilled enough yet for this jump but your videos inspire me to practice, practice, practice so they serve as a motivational tool for me.
Thank you for including a comment for lefty skaters! I’m right handed but rotate clockwise. Also, your explanation and tips are extremely helpful. I’ve been working on getting my salchow back with new skates and blades and I will be taking your tips into consideration. Thorough video and an amazing walkthrough :)
This was so helpful! A lot of my friends have been trying to teach it to me but I could never get my head around the motions until now. Thank you so much!
I am just learning this, and had no idea about bringing the heel thru. Thanks for breaking it down so well. You do it so beautifully. Hope I get there!
Coach Julia, thank you for sharing your Salchow tutorial! 🙂 You make everything look so easy although these figure skating elements are not easy for many people.
I have a couple questions: Doesn’t the salchow prerotate almost 180 degrees anyways, which would make it a half rotation jump? When swinging the free leg around after the 3-turn for the jump, should my blade touch the ice, or just skim over?
Excellent question, it does pre-rotate, as you can see in my slow-motion videos, but it is still considered a full rotation jump as that pre-rotation happens during the lift off. The blade should just skim over the ice as you move it around for lift-off.
Hi Julia, it is absolutely amazing how you can teach the movement in such a didactic way that it is easy to understand and replicate. Your videos helped me improve my skills and learn new ones. Congratulations!! 🤩 I wish I could learn from you in person...
i figured skated as a kid and i stopped around the time i was learning this - my instructor never told me to lead with my heel so i never understood what i was doing wrong! been getting back into skating recreationally - your videos have been super helpful.
Thanks Julia. I am French and don't speak English very well. But your explanations are really perfect. We no longer have a teacher so we are looking for solutions. Thank you for all your videos. And happy new year 2022 😊
I’ve been learning so much about figure skating just from your videos and these help me practice! Would it be possible to make tutorials on the toe and loop jumps?
What would really help me visually is to color one skate as the pick skate and color the swing skate a different color . Once you started moving I couldn't tell which skate was which. But I loved your drills . Thanks Coach Julia
Thanks. You can learn anything on the internet. I just watched an anime series about male figure skating, called Yuri on Ice, where they kept saying Salchow, and I wanted to know what it was! Now I know how I would train myself to do it! But I'd be lucky to just stand up on ice skates! Lol. Looks like a sport needing an incredible amount of practice. I used to roller skate, but never tried ice skates, yet alone doing a Salchow!!
I am very glad I came across your channel. This bring so many nostalgic feelings for me because I skated when I was younger. Started skating when I was 11 and stopped at 18. Have 18 top medals from when I skated. Wished things could have been different with the club/coaching situation. It got very ugly and one of my two coaches left and our club fell apart. Would have continued to skate my senior year of high school but like said the whole thing just fell apart. Now watching some of your videos, I feel that main coach really didn't give me the correct foundations of each jump. Feel like I was missing a lot of details to help improve my technique in my jumps. Started learning the double loop and salchow at the end. My coach told me with the salchow to kick up through with my knee to get in air and for rotation. I did get the rotation but had so much more lift in air that I could only land double footed. Sorry for rambling but just feels like I missed out on a lot of good instructions. Again I appreciate your videos and maybe one I can start adult skating again. I will link one of favorite programs I skated to below. Happy 4th of July to you and your family! Jessica ❤️🇺🇸🎆
This is almost my 25th time watching your salchow jump video . I learnt the waltz jump from you , and it helps me a lot . But when I am doing a salchow , I do the three turn then I swing my leg around and jump , but at the time I check out , it didn’t glide out .
Dear coach Julia, thank you for your amazing lessons, they have helped me improve a lot! I have a question related to this jump, I see some skater taking of with two foots does it make the jump easier?
Some coaches teach that technique, but usually not until they are working on multi rotation jumps. Some skaters find the two foot entry helpful, others find it hinders them.
Nice video, thanks for posting, fine tuning my salchow and able to confirm a point that I suspected by watching you perform. Question though, i notice some skaters really gash the ice with the hook on the salchow, i mean like deeeep too- is this correct, proper, or indication of something improper? My tracing gets deeper than entry to and thru 3 turn but nothing like what i see when some do their single or double sal.
This is an awesome video.....I have been practicing and learning Salchow foe a while but I just can’t jump after the three turn. After the three turn I keep using some of my toe pick on the left.....what should I do?
Great stuff. But I'd add that both leading with the toe or the heel are valid Salchows. What matters is that you leave the ice on one foot and backwards inside edge. You could say toes first is just a fancy waltz/axel, but then again heel first is just a fancy toeloop without the toepick, so...
I just got back on the ice last year and was just taught the Salchow jump today but as the fancy waltz jump. I was told three turn, check, bring the foot around wide, have your knee lead, then turn and jump. I even said to my coach, " I thought you were supposed to lead with the heel?" and her answer was that there are two versions and both are correct. What do I do? Practice both?
Thanks for this tutorial! I attempted to jump a Sal and used both my blades to sweep myself up and to rotate myself. I now see I was incorrect in doing this and that’s probably only needed for multiple rotations 😅
Hi Coach Julia I just have a question about transitioning from back crossovers to the forward 3 turn part. My coach told me to keep my hips squared but rotate my waist and shoulders to forward on the circle as I prepare to turn forward into the 3 turn. I was turning my hips, waist and shoulders at the same time so all were facing outside the circle as I prepared to step forward but she said this "opening up" is incorrect...can you tell me what you think?
Hi Julia, I‘ve just learned the Salchow using your videos, making very sure I lead with the heel. But now my two coaches (group and private lessons) both independently corrected me and said I should lead withe the toe, not with the heel! I‘m a bit lost now, do you have any idea why they might say that? Do Europeans do it differently? Or it doesn’t matter anymore once you do it double? I don’t want to go against my coaches instructions, but I don’t want to learn it the wrong way either.
I can't say why they would want you to lead with the toe, that goes against everything I have ever learned about the salchow. I don't want to go against your in-person coaches though.
I was wondering why I was having issues when entering my three turns, and I only realized it when I began Salchows 😅 I'm right-handed, so naturally, I turn counterclockwise, and I would continue to turn clockwise w/ my left foot. To say the least, it threw me off balance a lot.
Yuna Kim also leads the salchow with her toe, creating the "A" leg silhouette right before takeoff (ua-cam.com/video/wXPwj85W27k/v-deo.html). It's not a cheated jump, just a different way of doing the salchow. Coach Julia's technique (leading with the heel) is more similar to how Yuzuru Hanyu (and many other male skaters) jumps, though in his case the free foot skims the ice on a very light outside edge. In this technique, the salchow closely resembles the toe loop, and you can see that in the slow motion of the salchow in this video too (somewhat like a toe loop with the right foot lifted).
How much can you rotate before taking off? I was told it was a full 360° rotation in the air and that I can't rotate half a turn then take off as this becomes a waltz jump?
I uave a question. In the slow motion bit it kinda looks like you jump only once you are almost facing forward again. But isn't salchow a backwards jump?
I don’t ever see anyone leading with the heel. One of my coaches also said I need to actually pigeon toe the free leg foot inwards on the rotation into the jump, which seemed not correct at all. Now I’m so confused. Lol
Oh my gosh. There are a few techniques on this you do see a pigeon toe sometimes more on the multi rotation versions but for singles, this usually creates a waltz jump. But follow what your in person coach says, I wouldn't want to over-ride them.
When we're sitting down for dinner at the Resort watching the skaters, any kind of jump is awesome! All you skaters are entertainers at all levels like it or not, people love to watch all the tricks, most people can't skate and need to find Coach Julia's page for help...
Dont do that on common rollerblads😂. Without topic is really hard. I fall down many times becouse i dont have a topic 😂 and land this jump is hard. I do this becouse is a summer and i dont have a ice 😢. I need traning but is hard.
I never thought I'd say this but I've just started to work on my Slachow 🥹 I'm so excited to see what this season will bring. (And yes I've realised I'm just doing a fancy waltz currently 💀)
I never knew that about the heel! I’ve been leading with the toe and feeling like I’m just doing a waltz jump with a lot of faff 😂
Oh no! Lol, well now that you know, you can fix it. 😆

Thank you so much Coach Julia! These are incredible tips, I now know why my Salchow was looking like a “fancy waltz” :)
You're so welcome! Better get out there and fix that technique 😁

SO helpful. I really appreciate being able to loook at your video breakdowns after my lessons. Thanks!
Coach Julia, thank you for sharing your Salchow tutorial! 🙂 You make everything look so easy although these figure skating elements are not easy for many people.
Make that "not easy for anybody." Ice skating is super difficult! Plus there is so much to learn.

Glad it was helpful!

I hope I get back to skating like I used to 20 years ago
Hey Coach, I'd like to get a look at what Salchow and the other olde tyme skaters had on for blades. Great skating, I can see why you're a Champion!!
Lucky for you, I actually have a video coming up in May about this very subject! 😁
i figured skated as a kid and i stopped around the time i was learning this - my instructor never told me to lead with my heel so i never understood what i was doing wrong! been getting back into skating recreationally - your videos have been super helpful.
Glad you are finding them helpful!
Started this jump today and I didn't do a bad job. But watching your video just now most definitely helped me sort the process in my head. Thank You
You got this!
Thanks Julia. I am French and don't speak English very well. But your explanations are really perfect. We no longer have a teacher so we are looking for solutions. Thank you for all your videos. And happy new year 2022 😊
Omg thank you so much. The salchow never made mechanical sense to be before this video. THANK. YOU.
Glad it helped!
I'm trying this today!!! Thank you!!

You could say toes first is just a fancy waltz/axel, but then again heel first is just a fancy toeloop without the toepick, so...

Is salchow jump can be done by recreational blades?
You are welcome, and yes, it can be done on recreational blades, but you may want to consider an upgrade soon!

Glad it helped!
Thanks for this tutorial! I attempted to jump a Sal and used both my blades to sweep myself up and to rotate myself. I now see I was incorrect in doing this and that’s probably only needed for multiple rotations 😅
Yes, that is helpful for multiple rotations but not so much for singles.
Hey coach, can you please tell me what blades you have on your skates, I really like them. BTW I love your videos ❤❤
So glad you like my videos! I use MK Gold Star Revolution blades.
@@CoachJulia thank you

I have trouble sometimes landing on my toe pick, for example I jump but I feel that I’m landing flat on my foot how do I fix this?

thank youuuuuuu!!!!
How much can you rotate before taking off? I was told it was a full 360° rotation in the air and that I can't rotate half a turn then take off as this becomes a waltz jump?
The amount of times I fell like a cartoon character trying to get this jump must be a world record lol (almost there tho)
I uave a question. In the slow motion bit it kinda looks like you jump only once you are almost facing forward again. But isn't salchow a backwards jump?
It is considered a 'backwards' jump but it does somewhat pre rotate on the ice.
Thanks for explaining! I was so confused but the different "how to" videos thinking I'm seeing it wrong
This Is quality!
Thank you.
Dear Julia, Where can I buy skates like yours? Thank you 🙏
My boots are from Harlick Skating Boot Company in San Carlos California. Give them a call, tell them I sent you and they will do a great job for you!
I don’t ever see anyone leading with the heel. One of my coaches also said I need to actually pigeon toe the free leg foot inwards on the rotation into the jump, which seemed not correct at all. Now I’m so confused. Lol
Oh my gosh. There are a few techniques on this you do see a pigeon toe sometimes more on the multi rotation versions but for singles, this usually creates a waltz jump. But follow what your in person coach says, I wouldn't want to over-ride them.
in which sequence to learn jumps?
when u said the beginning I was like yay cuz I have always been better at the outside 3 turns than the inside ones for some reason 😭
Yes, this one is definitely a good jump for those strong outside three-turns!
Yes! That's so easy as i look! I'll be falling thousand times tomorrow! 😂 😂 😂 😂
Oh my goodness, isn't that just how jumps go? You fall and fall, but then you start to get it right and it feels amazing!
It looks so easy but I know its not, can I just try it without any other tips or tricks? I'm bored in my practices haha
Ah! Turns out I was just doing a fancy waltz jump XD Good to know the proper technique! ❤
Technique makes all the difference! Good luck with your next practice!!
When we're sitting down for dinner at the Resort watching the skaters, any kind of jump is awesome! All you skaters are entertainers at all levels like it or not, people love to watch all the tricks, most people can't skate and need to find Coach Julia's page for help...

im going to try this with inline skate
Is this like a waltz jump
This is the next jump to learn after the Waltz jump.
Why does toe loop and this look the same? I dont get the difference
They are similar, but the Toe Loop taps the pick into the ice before takeoff.
Dont do that on common rollerblads😂. Without topic is really hard. I fall down many times becouse i dont have a topic 😂 and land this jump is hard. I do this becouse is a summer and i dont have a ice 😢. I need traning but is hard.
6.0 !
Awe, Thanks!!
You are mispronouncing his name. It is Sal-Ko. Not “cow” as in the farm animal.
When Im better at toeloop Then salchow😬 ( artistic roller skating)
I never thought I'd say this but I've just started to work on my Slachow 🥹 I'm so excited to see what this season will bring. (And yes I've realised I'm just doing a fancy waltz currently 💀)
