The goal of this wiki is to offer "learning paths", starting with simple juggling patterns and then offering a suggestion for a few patterns with increasing difficulty.
BUT: There is more than one type of difficulty and 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)
Each throw type has its own type of difficulty, as has combining different throw types, as has remembering and executing longer pattern sequences of different throws.
The exercises below try to start with different patterns that use only one throw type (and zips). And only when that throw has been practiced in different patterns tries to mix it with a different throw type.
Beginning with one type of throw
Beginning Zaps
"No turn" passes. It is not necessary to be able to juggle 3 clubs alone
Beginning Normal Single Passes
Pass to another person, the club turns once until caught.
- if one juggler is more experieced, mixed-difficulty patterns are provided.
- It is not necessary to be able to juggle 3 clubs alone
Next difficulty: "Selfless Passing" or "Selfs and Passes"
Beginning Selfs - aka Juggling 3 Clubs
- From the 3 ball cascade to juggling 3 clubs
Selfless Passing
- Only zips and passes - continues with "throwing only passes"
- Starts with 4 clubs (4 passes, 3 zips) and ends with 7-clubs and only passes.
Combining passes with selfs
First Zaps and Selfs
Selfs and Passes
5 club Training Patterns of 6-club n-counts
6 club Half-Synchronous patterns
- right hand of both jugglers throws at the same time), a.k.a "normal passing"
- 6 club 4-count to 1-count, PPS etc.
Jim's version of 6 club Half-Synchronous patterns
Adding Throws with Doubles to the Pattern
Double Passes
- requires patterns with selfs and passes
Heffs in Solo Patterns - solo 4 club exercises
- Exercise patterns for learning 4 clubs
Heffs in Passing Patterns
Tricks with Heffs in 4-count, 3-count
- can be done as a one-time trick or a pattern
