Figure Skating Jumps – Introduction to the Lutz (Nick Perna)

Nick Perna explains how he teaches a lutz jump to avoid the dreaded flutz problem.  As you’ll see in the video, Nick is very passionate about the lutz coming off a back outside edge.  This is a great introductory video for lutz and Nick talks about how the lutz relates to a power pull or “cut.”  He also talks about “The Flick” and the pigeon-toe position seen on all good lutzes.  He even explains how a lutz is similar in feeling to a counter.  This is one of the best treatments of the lutz I’ve EVER seen…and this is only part one!!

(To see the second part of this video, check out Nick Perna’s Lutz Part 2.)

    Nancy G. Thanks Nick!! I am so happy to see something to help my students with their flutzes. I have tried a couple of other suggestions, but have never seen it taught this way. I know this will help them! Thanks for your time!!
