The purpose of this wiki is to help you find the 1-3 new juggling patterns or tricks, that you want to try next. There are many resources on juggling patterns available on the net, but I often found myself overwhelmed by a long list of patterns of varying difficulty without a clear indicator on what single pattern to try out.
The goal of this wiki is to provide a collection of juggling patterns, organized into "learning paths" that contain patterns of increasing difficulty.




== Difficulty ==


The wiki tries to answer the question:
There is often no clear difficulty comparison between two patterns, because there is more than one type of difficulty in juggling. One can imagine them as difficulty dimensions - like axes on a coordinate system. A pattern can be easier than another one on one axis, but more difficult on another.

and also:
<center><b>"I want to learn this (for me right now difficult) pattern, how do I get there"</b></center>


Types of difficulties include:
* height of throws
** number of high throws
** difference in height between highest and lowest throw
* length and/or complexity of sequence


Things that push your level back towards beginner:
* different object to juggle (ball vs club vs ring)
* different type of throws (crossed arms/mills mess, body throws in pattern)


There are many other juggling resources, but most of them do either provide no difficulty rating - or neglegt that there is more than one type of difficulty that a juggling pattern can have. Here, I tried to group patterns with common traits and also a common set of difficulty-types.

[[learning the 3 ball cascade]]


Entry points are provided for each type of throw, as each kind of throw needs a different throwing technique.

These entry points are labeled as "Beginning with [...]" and primarily focus on building proficiency with a single throw type before progressing to more complex patterns that incorporate multiple throw types.

These patterns are suitable for beginners. It helps a lot if one juggler is more experienced. All patterns only use one throw type (on the beginner side). Note that being suitable for beginners does not in all cases mean that these patterns are easy if you already have experience passing clubs.

Ok, I included this too early, because it was such a good story, although I hadn't progressed there myself.
The Patterns I collected aren't so good trainings patterns, as we figured out when trying ourselves because in period 5, the double passes trigger each other, which makes the patterns unstable more quickly, as any bad double pass leads to another bad double pass and onto a downward spiral

The goal of this wiki is to provide a collection of juggling patterns, organized into "learning paths" that contain patterns of increasing difficulty.


The wiki tries to answer the question:

"What should I try learning next?"

and also:

"I want to learn this (for me right now difficult) pattern, how do I get there"


There are many other juggling resources, but most of them do either provide no difficulty rating - or neglegt that there is more than one type of difficulty that a juggling pattern can have. Here, I tried to group patterns with common traits and also a common set of difficulty-types.

Entry points are provided for each type of throw, as each kind of throw needs a different throwing technique.

These entry points are labeled as "Beginning with [...]" and primarily focus on building proficiency with a single throw type before progressing to more complex patterns that incorporate multiple throw types.


Entry Patterns

These patterns are suitable for beginners. It helps a lot if one juggler is more experienced. All patterns only use one throw type (on the beginner side). Note that being suitable for beginners does not in all cases mean that these patterns are easy if you already have experience passing clubs.

Single-Passes // Zaps

Theory


Double Passes
