5-club 2-count

From jugglingpatterns

This is a training pattern that gives you waiting time to relax - or turn clubs etc.

Objects:

  • A: 1|2
  • B: 1|1

Each passer waits for the incoming pass and reacts with "self, pass".

  • Exercise for both hands (recommended): A passes diagonal, B passes straight.
  • 4-count like passes only right hand: A and B both pass straight

This exercise can be done for zaps, single passes and double passes.

Additional Things to Do

With Zaps

  • If one does straight passes, the other does diagonal passes, this is "Killer Bunny":

Animation and diagrams

While you wait with only 2 clubs, you can do a single-turn flip with the hand that won't receive the pass from your partner.

  • both do straight passes:

A: R    L    R      L     (hand) 
A: 2p  3    2p   3
B: L    R    L      R     
B: 3    2p  3     2p    (hand) 

With Single Passes

  • you can do self,zip with the two clubs. The zip goes to the hand that has to catch the next incoming pass
  • try to do the zip behind your back
  • you can do flip,flip (single flip done first with one, then with the other hand). The hand that receives the next pass should do the first flip

With Double Passes

  • you can do a self,zip,self,zip with the two clubs. The zip goes to the hand that has to catch the next incoming pass
  • try to do the zip behind your back
  • you can do heff,zip,zip with the two clubs. The zip should end up in the hand that receives the next pass.
