Coach Julia has been skating (first on roller and then on ice) for over 30 years. She was a competitive skater until she turned 21 when she got her first contract as a professional show skater. Julia has been a figure skating coach for 15 years, is a USFS Gold Medalist in Moves in the Field, and an ISI Gold Level certified judge. She has held positions as the Skating Director of the largest skating program in the United States, as well as Head Coach at two different skating clubs. Julia has now turned her skills towards a larger audience and is bringing her love and knowledge of skating to all of you!
This video by Julia( I assume) is the first instruction for me that showed really what goes on in those two jumps. Most people just show their demonstration with minimum explanation. She explained the crucial key points of how the toe picks are used in the jump step by step and how mistakes are made which is a great instruction requirement. The video angle, close up, motion speed and repeat are perfect for instructional purposes. I learned in 5 minutes from this video which I could not learn in years. I am a senior adult learner who just started. It means I just don't have much time to put in all those years of ice time to learn anything. Trust me. All those hundreds of instructions on youtube are not quite an instruction but a demonstration. Thanks, Julie.
If she keep making video this way, I am confident that I may be able to spin and jump before too long, a small one I mean.
Wow, thank you so much for your comments. It makes me so happy to know that my instruction style and videos are helping people learn and achieve! I hope to keep making videos for a long while more, so do come back! 😊
@@CoachJulia Hi, if you do accept any suggestion on future video instruction, at some time I would really love to see how the bunny hop can nicely help introduce to an waltz jump or half flip( are they the same thing?) No one so far can explain why bunny hop is the first step to the waltz jump.
I am definitely open to requests! I will try to work a bunny hop/waltz jump video into the lineup soon!
@@CoachJulia
Guess what! I just did my first bunny hop successfully for the first time. Your tip on left foot takes off with toe pick and make sure to land on right toe pick was the crucial key. I fell before because I tried with no toe pick take off and land on edge. You make sure to pointed out.
No one explained that before surprisingly. They just showed an example.
Thank you. I am building my confidence in bunny hop these days.
Oh wow, I am so excited to hear that! Good for you. Keep skating. 😁
You are an amazing teacher, you break every part down so it makes sense vs people just showing you and saying "just try it".
Thank you for the always uplifting feedback!
tap-toes used to be my favorite move when I started! amazing tutorial.. Professionally and thoroughly explained! can't believe I haven't found your channel until now!! keep it up xx
Hey, thanks so much for the post it is feedback! I am glad you found me. 😄
OMG HIII MINA
This is the BEST tutorial for the bunny hop! Great introduction breaking every element down for the blade, toe, and body position! Thank you!
Thank you so much! That is so kind. I really does make me happy and give me so much satisfaction knowing that my videos are helping people. 😁
Yes it is! It's the best I've seen. I can actually tell what's going on now and it doesn't seem as complicated as it looked before!
"it feels like flying when you're in the air" This. Brightened up my day.
I am so glad to hear that.
I did both of these jumps today for the first time and I was able to nail them by the end of skating because of this video, so thank you!!!
I love hearing good reports like that! Keep up the awesome skating!
Thank you for breaking these jumps down! I wanted to learn the tap toe jump for a long time cause, although simple, it looks very pretty in choreographies.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!!! 😄
Thank you for this video! I. Am working on bunny hops (learning as a quarter-lifer, I’m 26).
I am very afraid of jumping because I broke my wrist while skating and I definitely psych myself out.
This clear instruction is wonderful and I’m going to be practicing off ice and hopefully I can get some hops in soon ♥️
You are welcome! And congrats on getting started skating! 😁
Totally understand! I started skating at 35 and am always so hard on myself. I was working on bunny hops right before all the Covid went down. Bunny hops look so simple but they really aren't!
Hey! I know this comment was two years ago but I’m currently 26 and learning bunny hops. How is your skating now?
I remember doing bunny hops in figure skating lessons as a kid, and we probably did tap toe jumps too. I also remember crossovers, spirals, two-foot jumps and spins (and attempting to combine the two, with mixed results), and trying to learn 3-turns, although I couldn't really do that well. But, if I tried any of those tricks now, I'd probably fall and break something.
Oh my gosh, falling as we get older does hurt a lot more. 😩
It's fantastic to see the movement on the rocker during the bunny hop, so insightful! Thanks Julia you're awesome!
Awe, thanks glad you enjoyed the video!
I love your skating tutorials. And I really appreciate your input in my skating education. I have no chance to find a decent skating instructor in my town so I have to rely on youtube. You are my life saver!!!!
I'm going to try these two jumps next time I go on the ice rink.
So glad I could help you learn! Good luck with your jump practice!
@@CoachJulia Thanks. I need all the luck I can get. 😊
I'm really enjoying how you break down all the moves! I've learned 3 new skills from your videos and I'm really having a great time! I've been recommending your channel to the other skaters in my adult skating class! Thanks!
Awe, so glad to hear you are enjoying the lessons!
You' re an amazing coach !
Please can you do a video on a Waltz jump ?
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I will get to the waltz jump just as soon as I can!
I found your channel today and have been binge watching your videos (even the tutorials on things I don’t need help on lol) because you explain so well!! We also go to the same rink :)
Awesome! So glad you are enjoying them. If you see me at the rink be sure to say hello!
I haven't practiced either of them for a while. Thanks for sharing. I'll try both this weekend.
Good luck skating this weekend! I hope this goes well.
THANKS for this video
Kind regards from Mexico City 😀
You are welcome and hello Mexico City!! 😄
Thank you, coach Julia. I finally got new decent skates and I was able to do the bunny hop today! So exciting.
Wonderful! Congratulations.
Smart idea! Side step landing in order to prevent falling to rookies! thank you for sharing from Genoa (Italy)
Thanks for watching!
I just learned the bunny hop which, at 31, was kind of terrifying. (Look, I'm old now, and I don't want to break my first bone after I made it this long.) I had a really hard time learning to rock onto my toe pick while my free leg swung for momentum--I spent a solid ten minute while my coach was busy just gliding forward and rocking up onto my pick while I hugged the wall. I wish I'd started with the toe tap, it looks so much easier. >o
😆 We don’t want any broken bones! Congrats on getting the Bunny Hop down!
for the bunny hop i can’t even skate on one foot yet XD
Keep practicing those one foot glides. Practice makes easier. 😁
thank you for this! hopefully after I've learnt a few jumps I can enter a competition with the program I'm currently working on :)
Can‘t believe how much we learned in only 1 year through your videos.
I remember in January we were still using rental skates and could barely make a round without falling and now trying to learn this just feels amazing !:) Thank you so much, amazing content Julia ! Even our coach follows you on social media:p
I have one question about the jumps in general, when you go on your toepick to get ready to take off, do you lift your foot at hit the toepick into the ice or is the foot rather staying on the ice the whole time and you tilt your foot from the gliding onto the toepick ? Looking around 2:13 in this video how you move the left foot but hard to tell on video!
Thank you so much !:)
Great video! If I might make a request, would you be willing to make a tutorial on t-stops?
I would be happy to! I will be sure to fit that into the mix soon. 😁
Started trying to learn these yesterday and am terrible at it 😂 my skates (secondhand rec skates lol) don’t fit right though so I’m getting fitted for proper beginner skates tomorrow.
That's awesome! Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much! This really helped me.
You are welcome!
Holy crap this is skate town in Roseville!!!! I miss those ridiculous wall paintings so much!
Lol, yup. Those paintings give it away pretty quick! 😆
When someone asks us our coach we give your name coach julia 😂 love u 🐥
Awe, I love that!
Another great video lesson!
Thanks Martie. I appreciate your encouragement!
Hi Coach Julia, I recently started to pick up jumps. Your video here is super helpful! ❤ One question: When you say toe pick, does this refer to that one usually catches the ice easily, or the entire zig zag portion of the blade? 😂
Hey! Great question, Toe Pick refers to the entire zig zag section of the blade. We would call just that one lowest pick the 'drag pick'.
@@CoachJulia Thanks for your reply! I will try to figure out how to put more weight on that part and meanwhile try not to fall. Sounds really challenging! 😂
I skated years ago when I was about 10, and it’s been about 12 years since I skated. I went for the first time last week and I’m really rusty. I’m hoping to take skating up as a hobby, at 33!
That is awesome! Go for it! 33 is definitely not too late!😊
Did my first simple jump today. Keep landing flat footed or nearly on the toe pick, but not exactly. I didn't fall yet. I'll keep going, but it's not easy to land ot the toe pick!
This comment doesn't really relate to the video (although this video was quite helpful), and I apologize for that. But I just love how she replies to almost every comment, it's nice to see people interacting with their fans! ❤
Thank you so much! I do my best! 😄 I appreciate you all!!!
I struggle holding strong balance with backward one foot glides because I feel like I am wobbly on the rocker. I think I need to skate more on the heel. I need to get more comfortable with backwards one foot glides so I can learn the three turn. Could you post a tutorial on the three turn and specific help with the glide backwards on one foot?
Be sure to check out my backward skating video for some help, but I also definitely hope to post some 3turn lessons coming up soon. Be sure to subscribe so you get notified when the new lessons come out!
You may indeed need to put more weight on the heel, but backwards skating is not done with the weight on the heel. Instead the weight is focused on the ball of the foot, aka the rocker of the blade. You will not make good progress if you are trying to focus the weight on the heel. That said, depending on what exact move you are doing there's going to be some weight on the heel. Some moves may require substantial weight on the heel when moving backwards, but in general when skating backwards the weight goes on the ball of the foot.
I am lurning all of these in lesson 3
Nice!

Lol I can do I 360 jumping off both skates and landing on both skates 😂 is that a trick or does it only count if you use your toepicks?
Of course that is a super cool trick! It isn’t an official figure skating move though 😉
2:32
I’m a beginner skater and my teacher tried to teach me a waltz jump before a bunny hop. Is that normal?
No, that’s not normal. The Bunny hop builds skills that makes the Waltz jump easier to learn.
Coach Julia, for bunny hop, when you swing your right leg up and forward, does your blade touch the ice at all? It's kind of hard to see clearly from the video. Thank you!
No, it only makes contact with the toe pick at the landing.
@@CoachJulia Thank you for the response!!
How to quad please I need tutorial
1:15
2:23 Bunny hop
3:11 bunny hop
Do you start stuff in French
I can do both of those but the tap toe is harder for some reason anyways how do I know if I'm jumping correctly on the bunny hop cuz I can't see if I'm doing it right of course since I am me 😂 and I finally figured out how to do the 3 turn with the help of the video, a 9 year old, and an ice skating coach there I think her name was amanda 🤔 lol
A nine year old lmao
It really helps to videotape yourself and study that.
I have a friend he is 14 he is learning the triple axel
Wow, good for him!
@CoachJulia yeah! He is so good he actually perfected the triple and trying to do a quad now
Hi Julia!! It’s meh Madeline! She is my uncles gf lol
Hi Madeline!! Looking forward to having you in my class again!
