Learn to juggle

Submitted by Irmgard on

Juggling is a physically and mentally relaxing activity

JONGLING

  • Helps to discover and encourage natural coordination skills
  • Helps to develop patience and self-confidence
  • Can have the same calming effect as music
  • Is rhythmic, so can be accompanied by music
  • Helps release energy in creative ways

What every juggler should remember:

  • Whoever drops balls is not showing clumsiness, but progress. It shows that a learning process is underway.
  • Once the balls are in flight, reason and thought processes are unnecessary. Thinking takes up too much time.
  • Exercise is the only key to success.

Continuous Juggling:

  • Throw the first ball from your stronger hand and say out loud, "one"
  • When ball #1 peaks, throw the ball from your weaker hand and say, "two".
  • When ball #2 peaks, throw the 2nd ball from your stronger hand and say, "three".
  • When ball #3 peaks, throw the ball from the weaker hand and say, "four".
  • When ball #4 peaks, throw the 2nd ball from the stronger hand and say, "five".
  • Keep throwing and counting.

See picture below

NOTE: You should also learn to start with two balls in your weaker hand. You should be able to do the start and finish with both the weaker and stronger hand.
