The goal of this wiki is to provide a collection of juggling patterns, organized into "learning paths" that contain patterns of increasing difficulty. |
|||
The goal of this wiki is to offer "learning paths", in which you can begin with simple juggling patterns and then get a suggestion for a few patterns with increasing difficulty. Note that there are different "dimensions" of difficulty, so there is more than one starting point. (For example being able to pass 7 clubs in a 2-count will not help you much in doing a 3 ball Mill's Mess) |
|||
<!-- == Theory == |
|||
The wiki tries to answer the question: |
|||
a.k.a "what do all the numbers mean" |
|||
<center><b>"What should I try learning next?"</b></center> |
|||
and also: |
|||
<center><b>"I want to learn this (for me right now difficult) pattern, how do I get there"</b></center> |
|||
Most patterns can be described best by a juggling math called [[Siteswap]], and from that it is possible to do animations and tell passers what they have to do and how they have to start the pattern. You don't need to know how this works to juggle the patterns, but you will constantly see traces of the theory being used throughout the pages and at some point understanding will be helpful. This is described here: |

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. |

Teaching people passing clubs. |

For the pattern labeled as "assymetric", one of passer is supposed to be far more advanced than the other, who needs no previous experience. |
|||
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. |
|||
It is not necessary to be able to juggle 3 clubs alone for the "beginner" side of the patterns. |

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 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. |

Ok, I included this too early, because it was such a good story, although I hadn't progressed there myself. |

Types of difficulties include: |

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:
and also:
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.
