How To Do Bracket Turns in Figure Skates

- čas přidán 7. 08. 2021
- Hello Skaters! Welcome back! Today I am going to share with you how to do a Bracket Turn! This is in the 3-Turn family, because it stays on the same circle as it turns, and it switches edges. But this turn rotates away from the circle, instead of towards the circle.

Far and away the easiest to follow tutorial on brackets. You really break it down so I can understand the dynamics of this move.
My skating friend and I were raving about you. We've take lessons together for nearly a year now. I'm in Adult 5, she's in Adult 6. All of your videos are very helpful.
Awe, you are so sweet. I am so glad you find my videos helpful.
I am in Adult 7. and learning skating for 3mo.,very glad to meet you here.
I always was under the impression that brackets were like a lot more advanced than three turns but you made this look so easy and easy to understand. thanks!
So glad to know that my explanation was helpful!
they are for sure more advanced than a 3 turn
I was just think to myself yesterday, " I should start learning more about foot work and step sequences." This video came at perfect timing!
Perfect!
WOW as a Dancer I had no idea how much more there was to just learning the very basics to figure skating! Shoutout to all of you geniuses lol
Thank you!! 😆
@@CoachJulia You're welcome!! As a very beginner, could you recommend a first step for me to research and work on by myself? Our yard has turned into a giant skating rink this winter so I've been trying to make the most of it 😂
I love your videos; they are concise and free of annoying mannerisms and distractions👍🙂
Thank you so much once you said to have my body away from the center of the circle it made it really clear sometimes with adults we do not see things unless it is broken down really well
Your tips and guidance aided me into learning this quickly.
As always, I let the ads roll, just for YOU.
Thank you again.
Oh, that is so kind! Thank you!
I've been teaching myself brackets so this video came at a great time! The free leg position was super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Julia! Your instruction is so concise 😊
i can’t express how much im grateful for your videos, i do figure skating but roller, beven though its a little bit different your videos helped me so much. i just couldn’t see the difference in between the inside and outside turns but now i can thanks to you. ty for helping me !
Coach Julie, thank you for sharing your wonderful Forward Outside and Inside Brackets tutorial! :-)
I love these videos. I'm planning on taking up basic ice skating again. It's been 2 years since I last skated.
Your explanations are so good, thank you Julia! As an almost self taught skater, who returned to ice skating after 20 years and wants to learn step by step even all the things I either used to know or didn't know at all, your videos are incredibly helpful for me! You are great teacher ❤️ True treasure ❤️
You're so welcome! I am glad I can help!
This was really really clear and helpful! Broken down just right. Thank you, Coach Julia.
I am so glad to know that you enjoy the instruction.
It worked! My coaches seem often to just tell us direction/foot/edge/rotation and then let us figure out the details ourselves. Your instructions about body positioning was very helpful. (Forgot to write this in Mars when I used it.)
Another GREAT instructional video Julia!!
Thanks so much!
My son (Owen) is one of your Alpha students. He LOVES watching your videos! (So do I!) You explain everything so clearly and thoroughly. 😀
Awe, Owen is so sweet and enthusiastic in class! Thanks so much for watching my channel, I am glad you enjoy my teaching.
Amazingly clear tutorial and explanation, you are amazing, thank you!
I am glad you enjoyed it!
Very nicely demonstrated and explained. Thank you!!
Thank you!
Thank you! I’ve always wanted a clear instructional vid on brackets.
You're welcome!
Hi Coach Julia, another awesome video ice skating challenge. So many variations and I'm still working on your Mohawk cross-overs. Ice time is limited so I pick and choose what skill to focus on, no time for all the variations, thank you
That is what we have to do, focus on what we have time to achieve. Thanks for watching my videos!
I watch you from Turkey ❤ thanks for your amazing tricks , they are really helpful🤗
You deserve more views!!! Thank you for these videos ❤
I appreciate that!
You are stunning, I love your hair! Thank you for uploading this! Wonderful tips that help so much ❤️
Oh, thank you so much!
P.s just wanna say a huge thanks, you have really helped me learn sooo much from your channel.
Glad to hear it!
Great to see a video on this. Thank you for the tips. Please can you do similar video for backward brackets and FWD/BWD counters and rockers (I am really struggling with these).
I am glad you enjoyed the video! I certainly plan to make videos on all the different elements of footwork.
Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial! Brackets never looked so easy { } !
I am so sorry I didn't see this sooner, thanks so much!
Very well explained tutorial. Please go over backward brackets. Also can you do videoes on rockers, counters and loops (figures)
I am glad you enjoyed the video! I do plan to make tutorials on all the different turns and elements of footwork.
Great video once again! Will try this the next time I'm at the rink. Can you also do a video on Rocker and/or Counter turns?
I am glad you enjoyed it. I will get rockers and counters done as soon as I am able!
This was SO helpful! Can you do backward brackets next? 😜
Great suggestion! I will put it on the list!
Thank you from Italy 🇮🇹👍🏻😘
Thanks for watching!
I would love to see tutorials for rockers and counters too! I rarely see them in such detail on yt unfortunately >_
Спасибо большое, правда, я не все понимаю, но Вы показываете, и все ясно!👍
Thanks for your video 🦋💌😃🌎
You are so welcome
Not to mention if you use your pick Going fast it gets stuck and you get a weird sprain with your foot in that position. I've done this lol.
I can't seem to get my backward three turns solid yet but I'm gonna try brackets this week anyway haha
Hello from Ukraine🇺🇦. Love your explaining👍
Awe, I am glad you enjoy my videos. Thank you so much for watching!
I'd say if your free leg starts second, stays second after the turn (fwd.outside). If it starts first, stays first after the turn (fwd.inside).
See! When I took my lessons, the teacher didn’t explain the details or posture about anything! The whole time, I wasn’t rocking forward to lift my heel so the whole time I though it was about the speed of the turn to be able to move the blade quick enough without stopping/tripping. I actually stopped my lessons because I could never pass my level because of this move!
Oh my gosh that must have been so frustrating! I can’t imagine not teaching that bit of technique to a student. I am glad I could clarify for you.
Thanks for yet another great video! When you get the chance, can you talk about determining whether you're a CW or CCW jumper or spinner? Gus Lussi talked about this in his book, and said it depends on which foot is more secure for landing. As I just started to learn jumps and spins, I'm having a hard time deciding. It seems more natural for me to jump CCW but spin CW. How do you help your students in this regard?
Hey it’s an old comment but if by any chance you see this did you figure out what worked? I naturally rotate CW but my right foot is by far more secure for landings and following the advise you mentioned I should be jumping CCW. I practice CCW more currently but wondering if it’ll hinder my progress if I start working on doubles, would it be better to train landing on my left foot or train spinning CCW?
@@rnieIIe_lr Hi, I just don't want to spin and jump in different directions and I can't seem to jump CW, so I've been practicing spinning CCW. Once you're familiar with backward spins, that will help with your jump rotations (assuming you're jumping and spinning to the same direction.) The Lussi book was published decades ago. My coach told me there has been lots of development in skating, so whether his advice is still considered valid, I really don't know. If you have a coach, perhaps s/he could offer better assessment and advice specifically for you. Best of luck!
a Formula on ice drawn so neatly, that is easy to remember though hard to do
It does tae a lot of practice.
@@CoachJulia Should be a bit easier for a programmer -- open bracket, close the bracket, open , close , compile and link together -- the program is done ! ;)
@@evgenychirilenko9366 I see what you did there 😂😂😂
Thank you so much im going ice skating in like 3 hours 😅
Have fun!!!
Thanks
are you in Inverness
I assume this means that there are backward outside and inside brackets too
You assume correctly! I will get to that tutorial as well. 🙂
Is bringing the heel in just for learning or is it the correct way?
This is the correct way. It helps with balance and posture.
can you do a video on counters 🤡 I am struggling
How do these compare to outside three turns?
Outside edge three turns still rotate in towards the circle. If you look at the pattern a three turn makes on the ice, whether inside edge, outside edge, forward or backward, it still looks like a stretched out 3 on the ice. Bracket always rotate away from the circle, and the pattern always has the point going away from the circle like a bracket '}'. 😁
@@CoachJuliaI'll have to give these a try. Thank you for the reply.
Why is it seems soooooo easy😫😫
Just realized Julia doesn't wear a mask in the vids even when around other people, I love it! thanks for that.
Oh my gosh, I am grateful that we don't have to mask up at the rink anymore. I ended up with serious lung infections because of the condensation from breathing into a mask in the cold. It did a number on my lungs that I am still recovering from.
Seems hard that one 😅
It is a more challenging turn. The Three Turns are easier.
@@CoachJulia you have kids? 1, 2, three maybe? Children like this sport a lot
