Hydroblading™ encompasses a wide range of vertical and horizontal body movements, suspension and balance. It's a new relationship among the skater, the blade and the ice. Hydroblading uses tools like irons, cones, hockey pucks, elastic bands and sleds, among other things, to help the skater explore their range and push their limits. Uschi has worked with various skaters with these techniques including Brian Orser, Elvis Stojko, Tanja Szewczenko, and others.

Expanding range, exploring limits, connecting through the center, finding your balance point and losing fear are all part of the Hydroblading™ concept. But as she believes that people really discover things on their own.

"From the time I was a little girl, I have had great respect for the ice. The sounds of scratchy blades really irritated me, and I worked very hard to make those sounds disappear. I figured out how to make my blades as quiet as possible by suspending my body weight and by cushioning every move. If you love the ice, it loves you back!" - Uschi Keszler

Uschi and the entire coaching staff are devoting themselves to integrating these fundamentals into all IceWorks skaters.
