HOW TO DO THE AXEL JUMP | Coach Michelle Hong

Here, welcome back to my channel, my shining star, today we are going to make a video that I like to watch and if you really like this one, don't forget to like it when you show the

axel

. I like to start with the tutorial I look at the foundations of the

jump

so I can show my students how they will enter. The best thing to do when learning the basics of an

axel

is to start from scratch. Here my students and I are demonstrating where your arms are and your legs should be when you slide on that outside edge before you take off for the

jump

, your hands should be holding a loaf of bread and your ankle should be tight, then you will slide down. forward on that left outside edge to break you. the bread on your knee and you are going to lift your right knee in the air because you are going to jump to land on the right side now that you know the breakdown of how to prepare an axle, it's time to take it while I slide along an outside edge in a circle, Notice how my left shoulder is taking the lead and how much weight I'm putting on that left leg.

I want to raise my knee as high as possible before jumping and squeezing. tight and look now at several exercises that will help you prepare for the shaft starting with the back scratch. It is important to gain balance and stability when doing the back scratcher because it simulates what the shaft will feel like now in the back scratcher loop. The rear scrape loop helps you check your shaft jump when you spin so fast you're not sure when to check it, but you have to find your balance and stability once you hit the toe, it's ice boom .

Next to the axis of one foot, the axis helps you get a good push off with your left foot and you rotate as you lift, not on the way down, the click wall jump is one of my favorite exercises that increases your Agility When raising your knee in the air for the shaft, it is sometimes slow to get it back to your ankles, so this click wall pull exercise speeds up that process, so lift your knee and click with the boots on. as fast as you can to jump back like a waltz. scratch, this exercise is basically a cheated axle, when you gain the courage to take the jump, then you will have power and height to no longer spin on the ground, instead you will rotate in the air when you start the axle.

It is very important to remember to push off with your toe. Sometimes you feel like you're sliding back on your heel, so bunny hops are the perfect way to feel like you're getting a good push-off position so you can lift as high as you can. When I notice that my students lack height in their jumps, most of the time it is because their knees are not elevated enough to avoid that problem. I want to make sure you try to lift your knees before you try your real axle jump so I can apply. He's going to directly demonstrate his axis, hopefully not with this jacket.

The axis is the most difficult jump to achieve. Turn not one but one and a half revolutions in the air since you're starting on a front outside edge, but if you keep doing everything. the exercises i showed you at the beginning of the video the acts will become more natural over time the off ice jumps and off ice axes are a big part of your progress don't be discouraged at all there are some students of mine who take a year to get your shaft and you might be encouraged by some of my students who get them in two weeks so if you try hard enough and keep practicing you will get there.

Thank you so much for watching, let me know how much you like it. By liking this video, let me know in the comments section below if you are dreaming of learning your axis or if you already have it or if you are working on your double axis. I love you all very much and I will. See you in my next video I say to the left oh wow Johnny is very ready
