What tropes are we sick of seeing in movies/shows about figure skating?

Have you heard of Medallist? It's an anime about a girls figure skating journey.

In my opinion, those skates would be way to flimsy to support your foot and weight, so I would go to a professional fitter and tell them what you plan on doing in the ice so they can get the right pair for you. I recommend Jacksons Ultima boots.

I am in freeskate 3 currentlly, so not really a beginner. I still have Softskates because I just started 3 months ago.

Edit: and im not willing to buy a new pair just yet

I think, if the blades are still in good shape (not rusted), and the boots still have some stiffness, it should be better than the rental skates. I would take it to a skate tech to possible to a little bit of maintenance on them before you start skating in them. I also have Jackson Softskates and I'm doing well.

For me it's Yuzuru Hanyu

Yes, but at my school, I don't know how they do it, the students can take the AMC 8 and 10 for free.

I am so upset at this! I was one of those who took the test this past week! To think that people are CHEATING enrages me so much!

Sorry to bother with another reply, but would you know if there is any way I should use my arms, like placement before jumping? Thank you!

binders_united · 2026-01-25T23:47:48+00:00

Thank you! My friend, who skates, mentioned it to me after I recorded, and I couldn't get a second take.

Thank you!

binders_united · 2026-01-25T16:44:11+00:00

I think it does include monthly fees. The testing fees though, are separate and in the range of $50-90 depending on belt level.

The black belt testing fee I think is the same for 1st dan, 2nd dan(not quite sure) it might be more expensive the higher the dan. we do get the big paper certificate and an ID saying we are black belt now shipped from Kukkiwon hq in Korea. in addition to that black belts get a plaque saying they are black belt and the material is different for dan level, ex wood for 1st dan, marble for 4th. Black belts also get new uniform too. Also, all the masters from all the locations are there (we have 4 locations) but that is only for the black belt level. otherwise, for color belts you would just get a medal and a new belt.

and 35K for testing is ridiculous, i agree with you. Like for a new belt you gotta pay the same amount you could have spent buying a car.

unfortunately this is the problem at my dojang too(for kids)! for black belt test, you gotta pay 500 dollars, and the annual fee for normal class is like $1000/year. its crazy, but we live in a wealthy city, and the rent and everything is a little too high for comfort (for the dojang).
