I've been paddling K1 for a while and this is the best presentation of technique I've ever seen. Wish this video was around 10 years ago... would have saved me a lot of wasted years listening to a lot of silliness from coaches.
Excellent in depth perception. Locking into the water and focusing the human force into the footpegs. Consentrate on driving the boat forward through the foopegs with minimal fuss and splash. I call it 'stealth paddling'.
Fantastic fantastic. The most comprehensive and complete instructional paddling technique lesson I have come across. I will have to look no further. Many thanks.

Thanks for the video and thanks for the very good explanation of techniques (and failures) in this class. I watched the video with several breaks after each presented idea and trying to perform each explained body movement/muscle tension at home (with my paddle). I repeated this a couple of times an I think I learned a lot! Looking forward to practice on the water (when these weird times, we are having right now (Corona), are over). Thanks!
Perfect stuff, just one question: what does he mean by j shape? Doesnt all paddles have a c shape? If not could someone please explain me and maybe put one model of each as an example? In any circumstance thank you for your time reading this and please, if youre also interested in this just thumb up this comment so it gets noticed by someone able to help out 😊
I have been watching this video over and over in the last couple of years. I would like to translate the subtitles to Portuguese in order to make it more accessible to paddlers in Brazil. Provided Mr. Lawler also agrees to it, would you mind if I do so?
Hello. My name is Sergey. I'm from Russia. I'm rowing for myself. Frankly, I really liked your video. Translation of course is missing, but half understood by gestures)))). I wanted to ask you. Can you make any drawings of rowing machines? I could make myself and train myself in the winter. Thanks in advance .
A huge thank you for the information provided. We will train. And then I've already reviewed a lot of videos and nothing. But your video is clearly, clearly and reliably. Thank you.
Very good things and very bad things. It seems that you know what you are saying but you are not explaining it right and simple things like the kids stuff (elbow to nee/just an example) is contradictory when you learn a bit more. You are right in a sense but my experience is that when you explain something to someone younger they cannot understand when you say something like "do this" and then "now, don't do this, do that". I think is a general problem with canoeing coach's and you could evolve much more if you just try a bit more to explain it well than to get it simple and the try the kid to not do the mistake he started to do because you said something. I may not explain it right with my commentary but what I want to say is: - If you are trying to explain something to someone, give him/her all the context and not just a bit because he/she will develop difficult errors in their row that it is very difficult to get rid off when they start to do it.
You bloody twit. That is hands down the best explanation on any sport I've ever seen. He did give all the context, but a complicated move needs to be broken down into its constituents. He went backwards and forwards multiple times to reinforce both the bigger picture and the minor movements, and emphasized several times that it takes time and that was trying to install the concepts.. Luckily, you can rewind it if you need to hear something one hundred times. Read the other comments..
He obviously knows his subject to a huge depth, but for a physical skill like paddling, he needs to do more demonstrating and less talking - show people what you mean, don't just tell them.
I’m also a visual learner, and I think he does explain and show examples … what I found helpful personally was sitting in front of a mirror and trying to match his body position…then apply it on the water.
I'm very disappointed by yours and Tony Brown's comment. Here is a great teacher who brought up both male and female students to trash their techniques. "Rubbish" being the key word!. I thought he threw in some harmless humor to make the participants relax in front of a crowd. If you can't laugh at yourself and your mistakes a little then you will never improve. Pretty sure the lesson here was to become a better paddler and lets leave this "new age over sensitive" shite behind. Personally I'm here to learn how to kick ass in a kayak vs. having that wave smash me because I took too long to get past the surf! Enjoy the awesome lessons in this video! cheers D
Thanks for sharing. This is the best video ive ever seen on paddling technique.

joedirt22222 agree
Exactly what I told to myself
i'm 14 minutes in and my mind is blown. hands down, this is the best technique video i've ever seen. thanks!

It amazes me that there are coaches out there that do not understand the mechanics of paddling. This applies to OC and DB too!
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing, learned so much just by watching.
Incredibile lezione. Bellissima. Bravissimo. Grazie
One of the best detailed paddling video on UA-cam.
Thanks Nick for posting it and Many Thanks to Ivan for the teachings.
So much wisdom in this video, just started out kayaking and this was an eye opener, thanks for the share!

The most helpful video I've ever seen, regarding paddling, claro está! :)
Thank you so very much
Brilliant! Wish I'd seen this years ago.

Best video I've ever seen on forward stroke kayak paddle technique! Thanks for sharing and enlightening us all Ivan.
Extremely good explanations.
Excellent innovative perception and explanation. Strong, focused force pushing through the footpegs with minimal fuss. I call it stealth paddling.
So nice to see so many old familiar faces in the audience.
2 minutes in and I'm amazed!

What kayak erg is that?
It is one that we make here for coaching and technique work. There are commercial versions available. Check Dansprint out.
The principal is correct but a "deadlift" wasn't demonstrated. That's a "clean".

Very informative, let's leave the gender stereotypes out of it though.
