How to Juggle One Club

After learning to juggle balls, your next step toward becoming a master juggler is learning to work with clubs. These oddly-shaped objects are easy to grip, but they're devilishly hard to handle during tricks. Before trying the classic three-club cascade, consider working with just one club first. Using a single club lets you focus on your grip and tossing technique without having to manage the actual flow of juggling.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Hold the club in your good hand near its center of balance. Starting here helps you get the grip down before getting your weaker hand involved.
Step2
Rest the club in your hand with your palm facing upwards. Adjust your fingers so your index and middle fingers cradle the bottom curve of the club's surface.
Step3
Relax your arm so it falls by your side.
Step4
Swing your arm from your elbow and flip the club into the air using your wrist. Your goal is to make the club complete one end-over-end flip before catching with your other hand.
Step5
Catch the club with your other hand.
Step6
Regrip the club along its midline and repeat Steps 3 through 5 to toss it again.

Tips & Warnings

  • Catch the club toward the outside of your body, then scoop it down and inward when you toss it. This creates a circular pattern that gives your juggling rhythm and reliability.
  • Keep your elbows by your side as you juggle. Most of the motion should come from your forearms and wrists.
  • Start by connecting two tosses, then increase the number until you're comfortable with the technique.
