Axel live now

An app to help you learn figure skating

What app helps you learn figure skating? Axel is a learning and practice companion with a fixed catalogue of skills grouped into Axel’s own stages and tiers. Explore descriptions, technique tips, common mistakes and external YouTube tutorials when available.

Use Axel between skating lessons to revisit a skill and organise your next practice. It does not replace qualified instruction, assess your technique for you or confer a formal qualification.

Look up the skill you are learning

Open a skill to read its description, tips and common mistakes. For example, Fall and Get Up is in the Ice Confidence tier of the Foundations stage. The beginner skills guide below explains how safety, gliding and stopping fit together; use the app as a reference, not permission to attempt a skill unsupervised.

See technique resources beside the skill

Skill detail includes external YouTube tutorials and linked resources. Results depend on third-party availability and can be empty or change. They are references to discuss in your lessons, not an Axel-produced course or personalised feedback.

What still needs in-person instruction

A qualified instructor can observe your movement, adapt technique and choose safe progressions for you. An app cannot do that. Axel’s stages and tiers are its own independent path, not federation levels, formal tests or certification.

Turn a lesson into focused practice

Choose a skill to revisit, attach practice video to it and update your own status as you gain consistency. Mastered is self-assessed. The practice library is device-local, not a cloud backup; logged skating minutes are entered by you.
