Have fun Juggling

Last week, was eating diner with friends, and we somehow talked about the subject of juggling. Which i have briefly learnt from someone before. I'm no expert at juggling, but i can juggle 3 items several times. Here's the 5 steps and exercises i have learnt before, doesn't take long to do and try out the excercises.

STEP 1 - 1 ball excercise throw
Have one ball (will call A) in one of your hand (will call hand 1 and hand 2)
  1. Throw the ball A up in an arc projection (eye or head level) from hand 1 towards hand 2
  2. Catch ball A with hand 2
  3. Now practice from the hand 2, back up in an arc projection to hand 1
Repeat until you are comfortable throwing 1 ball between both hands to similar height level

STEP 2 - 2 balls excercise throw and drop
Have 2 balls (called A and B), one ball in each hand
  1. Hand 1 throws ball A up in an arc projection like before towards hand 2
  2. While the ball A is up in the air, hand 2 drop ball B to the floor
  3. Catch ball A with hand 2
Practice the same with hand 2 throws towards hand 1

STEP 3 - 2 balls exercise throw and throw
Have 2 balls, one in each hand again
  1. Hand 1 throws ball A up in an arc projection like before towards hand 2
  2. While ball A is up in the air, hand 2 throws ball B towards hand 1
  3. Catch ball A with hand 2 and ball B with hand 1
Repeat until you are comfortable throwing 2 ball between both hands to similar height level

STEP 4 - 3 balls exercise throw, throw and drop
Have 3 balls (called A, B and C), two balls in hand 1 and one ball in hand 2
  1. Hand 1 throws ball A up in an arc projection like before towards hand 2
  2. While ball A is up in the air, hand 2 throws ball B towards hand 1
  3. Catch ball A with hand 2 and hand 1 drops ball C, then catch ball B
Repeat until you are comfortable throwing 2 balls and dropping up, and able to catch both thrown balls

STEP 5 - 3 balls exercise throw, throw, throw
Now pratice juggling for real, have 3 balls (called A, B and C), two balls in hand 1 and one ball in hand 2
  1. Hand 1 throws ball A up in an arc projection like before towards hand 2
  2. While ball A is up in the air, hand 2 throws ball B towards hand 1
  3. Catch ball A with hand 2 and hand 1 throws ball C, then catch ball B
Keep repeating this and you are juggling 3 balls or items. Will probably add some pictures later.

Congratulations!! Have fun!! You are now juggling!!
