How to Juggle Two Clubs

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 two clubs first. Using two lets you focus on your grip-and-tossing technique without having to manage the actual flow of juggling.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Hold one club in each of your hands near its center of balance. Starting here helps you get the grip down before trying the toss.

2. Rest the clubs in your hands with your palms facing upward. Adjust your fingers so your index and middle fingers cradle the bottom curve of each club's surface.
   

3. Relax your arms so they fall by your sides.
   

4. Swing one arm from its elbow, and flip the first club into the air using your wrist. Your goal is to make the club complete one end-over-end flip before catching it with your other hand.
   

5. Toss the second club, using the same arm motion, as soon as the first club peaks in the air.

6. Catch both clubs with the opposite hands that threw them.
   

7. Re-grip the clubs using the starting position, and toss them 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.
