About Kim & FAQs

This is a completely comprehensive program. Each module is designed to take months if not years to master. To get from very beginner to advanced control of an edge could take up to 7 years or even more. It could take less with copious practice time or prior athletic background. Everyone moves at their own pace.

Please wear what ever safety gear makes you feel confident. Wrist guards are recommended for beginners and those attempting new tricks. Never skate faster than u can control a stop and never skate before u have practiced falling. Never try a trick until you can control the edges required for that trick

Start with whatever skate you have. As u go thru the program I will talk about equipment options.

Forever. You will be able to download them and keep them on any device to take to practice wherever you go.

Yes there is a buy option in the module video page that will allow you to upgrade when you are ready.

No, much of what is taught in the advanced program is dependent on techniques taught in the fundamentals and intermediate courses. To move forward without watching, understanding, and mastering the techniques in those videos could be both confusing and dangerous. You must be able to do the required elements to move forward regardless for your own safety. Experienced skaters might move faster thru the modules. Please refer to the pdf book for required elements. I will be putting out indiviual videos for sale that I feel are safe for skaters to attempt even if they have not finished the prior modules.

They are a combination of both. Most videos I explain and give several exercises to do to practice in a progressive manner. There are a few videos that are demonstrations. I interrupt myself for a skate safety lecture as it comes up naturally within the lesson. There are also real time 1 hr practice sessions.

Full length and comprehensive each video is average 20 min long. Within that I give you hours of exercises to practice and different levels to progress to meaning you may stop the video and come back to it when you are ready to progress to the next exercise. You can see the length of each video by clicking on the video list or by referring to pdf guidebook.

The program is designed for you to go at your own pace but within each module. Any exercise that also has feet listed must be done on foot first as this is where I give most the information and the safest way to progress. You can not move forward to another module until you have the required elements to do so. Within each module there is a natural order listed in the book, but you are also able to work on what interests you on that practice day as long as you can do the required elements written or said verbally in the video. You should find yourself coming back to videos and moving around. Some videos you may watch only to learn and then a few months return to try to put into practice. You will continue to work on foundations no matter how experienced you are so you may find yourself going back to reference older videos or find a practice from an earlier module. The advanced program has a little bit more of an order and I list the required elements needed at the beginning of those videos. For example. U must have waltz jump before doing a combo with it, or both three turns before trying a three turn run. The stretch module you will use at your own pace through the program and hopefully the rest of your life.
