Club juggling takes a long time to learn. If you think juggling balls is difficult try these out for size.
You have to get the height of the throw just right , then you have to get the speed of the rotation just right, then of course you have to catch the things! Then when you’ve mastered this you want more of a challenge so you start giving the clubs a double spin before you catch them. When I started double spinning my clubs , the clubs where flying every where. At one point I threw one up double spinning, then I threw up another, the second one hit the first one and sent it spinning even faster right into my nose.
Juggling clubs are very light but have one spinning fast hitting you in the nose and you’ll know about it .
To make things even harder; my cat Oscar who feels perfectly safe with me and trusts me totally used to saunter over to see what I was up to, and while clubs where flying all over the place he would rub himself on my leg and sit on my foot. Through mad acrobatics and the use of very quick reflexes I am proud to say that he never once had a juggling club land on him. I don’t know what was more stressful learning how to use clubs or keeping the cat safe.
