    I've been paddling K1 for a while and this is the best presentation of technique I've ever seen. Wish this video was around 10 years ago... would have saved me a lot of wasted years listening to a lot of silliness from coaches.

    Excellent innovative perception and explanation. Strong, focused force pushing through the footpegs with minimal fuss. I call it stealth paddling.

    @digger73157 жыл бұрын

    Excellent in depth perception. Locking into the water and focusing the human force into the footpegs. Consentrate on driving the boat forward through the foopegs with minimal fuss and splash. I call it 'stealth paddling'.

    Thanks for the video and thanks for the very good explanation of techniques (and failures) in this class. I watched the video with several breaks after each presented idea and trying to perform each explained body movement/muscle tension at home (with my paddle). I repeated this a couple of times an I think I learned a lot! Looking forward to practice on the water (when these weird times, we are having right now (Corona), are over). Thanks!

    Hello. My name is Sergey. I'm from Russia. I'm rowing for myself. Frankly, I really liked your video. Translation of course is missing, but half understood by gestures)))). I wanted to ask you. Can you make any drawings of rowing machines? I could make myself and train myself in the winter. Thanks in advance .

    Very good things and very bad things. It seems that you know what you are saying but you are not explaining it right and simple things like the kids stuff (elbow to nee/just an example) is contradictory when you learn a bit more. You are right in a sense but my experience is that when you explain something to someone younger they cannot understand when you say something like "do this" and then "now, don't do this, do that". I think is a general problem with canoeing coach's and you could evolve much more if you just try a bit more to explain it well than to get it simple and the try the kid to not do the mistake he started to do because you said something. I may not explain it right with my commentary but what I want to say is: - If you are trying to explain something to someone, give him/her all the context and not just a bit because he/she will develop difficult errors in their row that it is very difficult to get rid off when they start to do it.

    You bloody twit. That is hands down the best explanation on any sport I've ever seen. He did give all the context, but a complicated move needs to be broken down into its constituents. He went backwards and forwards multiple times to reinforce both the bigger picture and the minor movements, and emphasized several times that it takes time and that was trying to install the concepts.. Luckily, you can rewind it if you need to hear something one hundred times. Read the other comments..

  • @Hakucho64
    @Hakucho643 жыл бұрын

    He obviously knows his subject to a huge depth, but for a physical skill like paddling, he needs to do more demonstrating and less talking - show people what you mean, don't just tell them.

    I’m also a visual learner, and I think he does explain and show examples … what I found helpful personally was sitting in front of a mirror and trying to match his body position…then apply it on the water.

    I'm very disappointed by yours and Tony Brown's comment. Here is a great teacher who brought up both male and female students to trash their techniques. "Rubbish" being the key word!. I thought he threw in some harmless humor to make the participants relax in front of a crowd. If you can't laugh at yourself and your mistakes a little then you will never improve. Pretty sure the lesson here was to become a better paddler and lets leave this "new age over sensitive" shite behind. Personally I'm here to learn how to kick ass in a kayak vs. having that wave smash me because I took too long to get past the surf! Enjoy the awesome lessons in this video! cheers D
