TECHNIQUE
Understand the movement: how your body and skates work together, and what each part of the exercise is doing.
My goal is to help you understand rollerblading deeply enough to explore it for yourself: adapt what you learn, connect ideas and, over time, create your own movements.
You don’t have to stop at learning three or four tricks. You can build the foundations to enjoy skating more fully, with the control and confidence to keep discovering what you can do.
A trick becomes more useful when you understand what makes it work. We build that understanding around three pillars.
Understand the movement: how your body and skates work together, and what each part of the exercise is doing.
Feel where your weight is, how it moves between your skates and how those changes affect your balance and direction.
Learn when to act, release or change position. The same movement can feel completely different when the timing changes.
Explore how much room you have within a movement. Working across that range helps you develop control beyond one familiar position.
Bring the three pillars together and connect your movements. Flow helps you move with intention and carry control from one action into the next.

These families give us a way to develop your skating as a whole. We draw on wizard, jumps, speed slalom, slalom, slides, ramps and pump track, as appropriate to your level and the session.
A good lesson gives you something to work on. The programme helps you remember it, practise it and bring it back to the next class.
We work in groups of up to 12 students, with exercises suited to your starting point and corrections to help you understand what to change.
Why it helps: you leave with a clearer focus for your own practice.
In the last five minutes of each class, we record a summary of what we covered. I post it on the Training Board so you can watch it again and download it for your own practice.
Why it helps: the important details are still there when you put your skates back on. You can also catch up on what was covered while you were away.
After every session, I post homework in the Warsaw students group within our WhatsApp community: what to practise during Training Week and what to prepare for the next lesson.
Why it helps: you know what to focus on instead of guessing what to practise next.
Your membership includes online course-library access for the cycle. Revisit an explanation, check a movement or use the lessons alongside your homework.
Why it helps: you have a reference when you forget a detail, so you can return to practice with a clearer idea of what you are trying to do.
During Training Weeks, the free group-training sessions give you a regular time to work on your homework and skate with others. These are independent practice sessions; an instructor is not guaranteed to be present.
Why it helps: you have space to repeat, experiment and make the lesson feel more natural before we build on it.
A membership cycle lasts 28 days. Coached Active Weeks alternate with Training Weeks, giving you both instruction and time to practise. The dates and class times are shown before you pay.
One hour at your designated level on each of the four coached class days. A focused starting point, with the library, recaps and student group supporting your practice between sessions.
Access to all four class levels on coached class days, plus 50% off Academy masterclasses while eligible. Attend more than one hour when useful, with my guidance on the classes and exercises that suit you.
Both plans include the same support between lessons. Speed Runner gives you more coached training time; it does not mean you need to attempt advanced exercises before you are ready.
After payment is confirmed, the assessment helps me understand where you are. It is normal not to recognise some exercises—even most of them. Say “I don’t know this exercise” or “I haven’t tried it”; that is useful information. Your starting level is guidance, and we can adjust it once I see you skate.
Progress into a class and completion of an exam are separate. You don’t need to pass every exercise in an exam before moving on to a class that suits your skating.
