PERFECT ROWING TECHNIQUE (almost) - SE1 EP3 The legendary Damir Martin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2023
- In a recent question on rowing.zone I was asked the question who the best rowers to watch and learn from were. So I sat down and started to work on a series of videos, of which this is part 3.
Men and women alike can learn from their exceptional rowing and sculling technique.
This episode features the legendary Damir Martin, who won a Silver in Rio and a Bronze in Tokyo - both in the single. His technique looks perfect, until you look closer.

Aram: your best yet. Keep up the "champions" review series!
Do you mind putting an uninterrupted version of him rowing before or after you have done the analysis?
I can do this next time. The link to the original footage is in the description
I would LOVE to see a video on Jeremy Azou, sub6:50 in the Lightweight single sculls
Azou really is one of the greats when it comes to technique
Thanks for your comments
Lots to think about and practice
Regards
Awesome!
Loving the series Aram :) I find the point you made about 'fast twitch athletes' with Samir's physiology; could also be, in his words, his height; "if you aren't build tall, build wide". Im not sure if he is necessarily super strength based, he needs to be out of necessity with his style to lever his torso for a longer drive-phase compared to the tall Scandinavians (Tokyo 202One). I do know how injury was caused by the linear erg, and he uses a TON of bike for endurance training (see his interview with 'Anatomy of a Rower' Olympic Series)
Excellent analysis, Aram. One limitation with video analysis: isolating one imperfect stroke and generalising it to all strokes taken during a row. How do you approach video analysis: view the entire video to get a "feel" for the rower, looking for both good and bad aspects, then return to a specific stroke in the video to focus on a problem area? Thanks, Simon
Agree. This is how I usually do it. I found that a handwriting is a handwriting, though
Sehr interessante Analyse - richtig spannend! Aber wie ist das Stampfen des Bootes auf die abwärtsgerichtete Oberkörperbewegung vor dem Catch zurückzuführen. Ich denke, da ist gerade der kräftge Oberkörperschwung mit der dann unvermeidbaren Masseverlagerung Richtung Bug (-ball) nach rückwärts unten ursächlich.
Hi Aram, I find your view on rowing very refreshing. You seem to put in words what I feel in the boat, and what is different from what many coaches say. Especially also the part of pulling the boat under you. I used to be a woman's lightweight, and now switched to coastal rowing. The boats are much heavier, and compared to my weight, that should change the dynamics drastically. How do you think lighter people and heavier boats impact this idea of pulling the boat under you? A 14kg boat with a 100kg man is a different story from a 50kg boat with a 60kg woman. I'm quite muscular (only 1,61m with that weight), and more on the sprints, but I'm not doing beach sprints (I live in abroad so I can't row for the national team), so we're talking about regattas of 6-8km.
I'm also curious how you view excercizes such as rowing without shoes or (lineair) erg rowing without foot straps.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
If you let the boat run underneath you and keep the pelvic tilt alive, you also achieve more blade control, even if pulling the boat underneath you is a different story with coastal boats. A good pelvic tilt also helps you to have a more direct catch, thus an earlier start of the propulsion phase.
Feet out rowing is helpful as a warm up, if done too much, there is a tendency to lose the idea of a weight driven upper body swing
Thanks!
Thank you very much Marchy!
Hi, thank you very much for your videos, they are very helpful. I was wondering if you might also have tips for keeping connection with the footboard until the end of the stroke. I notice that with me regularly my heels get loose at the end of my stroke, so I can't give the boat a final push with my heels.
There should not be a deliberate push with your heels at all. Aim for the forefoot to midfoot
Okay! Thank you for your fast reply. I will try to convince my coach.
Petition to do Robbie Manson, who has a channel with a few videos of him sculling from many years ago
Okay. Will have a look. Thank you!
Could you please analyse the 2024 Boat Race? 🙏
Ok. Working on it
Where are you from if you don’t mind my asking
He is from Austria
