Beautiful! It's wild how everyone does the full shower as opposed to the cascade which we usually teach here in the US.

Hi, nice video. With respect I would like to correct you on your incorrect referral to Tongan culture as "Tonganese", you should instead simply use the term "Tongan". Also in the beginning you call Tonga an "Asian Pacific Island group", while Tonga may be in the Asia Pacific region of the globe, you must be careful not to make Tonga sound as if it is geographically or culturally a part of Asia when it is more accurately described as being located in Polynesia. Thanks!

Juggling is very enjoyable. The odd thing is that in the US most juggling is done by men. Some parts of the world we mainly find women jugglers. Japan also has women jugglers in large numbers. Also, often the cascade style of juggling seems to be more popular in the US.

Tonga is not apart of Asia.. And It's just "Tongan" Not "Tonganese" . It's like "American" not "Americanese"

i did not know of that tradition of tonga.i am interested in pacific islands culture and the languages spoken there.i wanted to learn a bit of any language in pacific do you know a place in internet to learn it or a good book?thanks for the video

Also "10 is the legend" is a bit deceptive. I doubt anyone there has ever qualified 7, let alone more than that.

Its not that special really, no different from girls skipping, where I'm from the girls up until recently (seems the traditions kind of gone now) could all bounce multiple balls against a wall. Its cool for them and all but I was sorely disappointed with their lack of creativity and skill, the fact they discovered this pattern and nobody is thinking of anything else says something negative about their culture to me. Anthony Gattos' Tonga granny doing the five object shower was badass though.

Hi Lefty, Thanks for watching the video. Yes, hiko is what they call the juggling, and its only in a shower pattern with nuts from a tree. Very odd, and they don't know it as juggling. It's a game and a competition and a dance. More Hiko to come. Thanks for checking in.

Thanks for taking a moment to watch the video. It is a dying artform, but hiko is still played in the capital. Men don't do hiko, just a tradition for women. They don't know the word juggling. It's called hiko, so that may have been why they didn't know. Plus the women are very shy to talk to men, especially foreigners!

Cool video, I was in Tonga in 2005 and when I mentioned juggling no one knew what I was talking about except one lady who said they don't do that anymore. Maybe they don't like to talk about it with men?
