Combos of the Week
A series in blocks: each block explores one concept for training combos — Arco's way of approaching Wizard Skating. Each episode's findings and concepts accumulate and interrelate.
Combos of the Week is the open series of the ARCO Learning System: a new combo every week, and each block of episodes explores one concept. It isn't a rule of Wizard Skating — it's Arco's way of training it: the combos are the example; the concept is what gets practiced.
The first block (episodes 1–4) explored the structure of the combo — entry, development and exit — using three movements as the example in each combo, not as a rule. The second block (episodes 5–8) explores fusion: practicing two movements until you internalize them as a single one and feel comfortable with the execution. The next one opens longer, more complex lines: the entry can be a fused movement, so can the development, and the exit can be one movement or just the roll out of the development — an unlimited world of combinations to train.
The series assumes the five fundamentals — Predator, Parallels, Trees, Gazelles and Lions — are already mastered; if that's not your case, the Initiation course is the starting point. Over time, the accumulated findings and concepts form the series' reflection base: they appear in one episode and are reused in the next ones, interrelating the combos with each other.
Where to start
Each episode is self-contained: watch the video, skate the combo with its exercises and then read the episode's findings — the specific observations that combo leaves behind.
The findings are read by block: those of the same block explore the same concept from different combos, and each block opens the door to the next. The concepts are the series' transversal dictionary: they are defined once and every new combo references them, with clips to the exact moment.
Individual movements are not re-taught here: each move's detail lives in its tutorial. This series teaches how to combine them.
