Vertical Split (Needle Scale) in Figure Skating: The Path to Mastery Through Ryabinin Camps Online Training!

Ratings: 2. Ratings: 5.00 from 5

Dear figure skaters, coaches, and parents!

In the world of figure skating, where every performance is a demonstration of fluidity, strength, and incredible artistry, the vertical split, or Needle Scale, holds a special place. This element not only amazes audiences with its beauty and complexity but also serves as an important indicator of an athlete's flexibility and body control. At Alexander Ryabinin Figure Skating Academy, we understand how crucial every element is for achieving success on the ice. That's why we've developed a unique online training program, aimed at mastering and perfecting the vertical split, accessible to you from anywhere in the world!

We know that busy competition schedules, school commitments, and geographical distances can be barriers to regular on-ice training or attending international camps. But this shouldn't stop you on your path to achieving your goals! Our online classes are a flexible and effective solution, allowing you to train under the guidance of experienced Ryabinin Camps specialists, right from your home.

By joining our online lessons, you'll receive a detailed and safe methodology that will enable you to master the vertical split step by step. Let's look at the key exercises we use in our program:

Warm-up and preparation: The first exercise focuses on a thorough warm-up and muscle preparation. In a forward lunge position, we teach you how to properly hug the shin to position the shoulder under the knee. This helps prepare the hip joint and leg muscles for further work.

Gradual opening: The next stage begins from a "butterfly" pose. We'll show you how to properly take your leg and straighten it upward, turning it sideways so that the knee and toe are facing towards you. This exercise aims at deep work on the adductor muscles and developing the necessary range of motion.

Vertical split with support: After the preparatory exercises, you can try to perform the vertical split fully, but first with support. It's important to remember a key nuance: the leg lift is initiated from the slightly bent knee of the supporting leg. The supporting leg only straightens after the other leg is fully extended upward. This approach ensures proper technique and safety.

Vertical split without support: Finally, after successfully mastering the element with support, you can try to do the same without support, relying solely on your body's strength and flexibility.

Remember, friends: regular training is the key to your progress! At Ryabinin Camps, we believe every figure skater can unlock their capabilities. We are ready to provide you with all the necessary tools and knowledge to achieve your goals. Our online training isn't just lessons; it's your step towards mastery and confidence on the ice.
