Ice Skating: Steps to Success [Kunzle-Watson, Karin, DeArmond, Stephen J.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Ice Skating: Steps to Success

Review: Great book for beginners - This is the only book that I've seen that teaches the basics in a very comprehensive manner. All the basic techniques (glides, stops, crossovers, turns, edges) are taught in detail, complete with instructions on how the upper body, knees and feet are oriented. The drawings and the checklists are also very helpful. I highly recommend this book to all beginning skaters, and also for the more advanced skaters who feel that they need to work more on their technique.
Review: Well written - This is an excellent book for the beginner or anyone looking to improve technique and edge control. The illustrations are very helpful and the step-by-step breakdowns explain the moves well. The background and history of ice skating is also quite interesting. I would highly recommend the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for beginners
*by C***S on February 19, 2011*

This is the only book that I've seen that teaches the basics in a very comprehensive manner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written
*by C***. on February 23, 2015*

This is an excellent book for the beginner or anyone looking to improve technique and edge control. The illustrations are very helpful and the step-by-step breakdowns explain the moves well. The background and history of ice skating is also quite interesting. I would highly recommend the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and Realistic Approach to Teaching!
*by A***N on January 22, 2019*

I would love to give this book a 5 star rating as it is among the best that I have seen. If you are a new adult recreational skater, especially a middle aged or older one, you won't find any that are better. No spins or jumps are taught in here, which is fine as most of those are not recommended - or safe to do - during crowded public sessions. But, if you master all the skills covered in this book, you will be recognized by everyone who sees you as a competent and beautiful skater. Don't get me wrong, this book is great for anyone who wants to reach any level, as these are skills that must be nailed down before moving on to the more dramatic, dynamic and potentially dangerous stuff. Aside from the cover and author portraits there are no photos in this book, which is not a criticism. The many line illustrations are clear and generally easy to follow, which can't always be said of the photos in other instructional texts. The language describing the moves is equally clear, well organized, and unusually free of typos. Interspersed with the lessons are evocative drawings of historical and iconic skating venues. If you are an advanced skater you probably won't learn much from this book but, if you are an advanced skater who is teaching a newcomer, this could be an effective training aid. It's an excellent text to augment professional or online video instruction. I regularly review it before and after trips to the rink. My 4 star rating only reflects that I couldn't give it 4.5 stars.
