I'm sure this video isn't for everyone, but for those of you who want to see my full practices, this one is for you! I hope it helps you learn some new tricks, as well as inspire to pick up some props and practice yourself!

[@shrutiskitchen6806]

I like all of your videos. I wish I could myself do 1000 likes alone on your each of videos. But the truth is that I can put only a single like.

[@LearnToJuggleNOW]

Loved it! Friendly suggestion: At some point in the future, I would also enjoy seeing a similar training video when you're more or less at your peak.

[@tamilnewmovies1961]

Mam

[@michellespinasse8455]

I'm not even a juggler and yet I find this super relaxing to watch....

[@thepotionmaster8579]

Does anyone else just really like the sound of people juggling clubs

[@amyrsavoia6017]

It feels good see such a good juggler droping the props, it brings me a sensation that getting better in all levels of skill have that same fail moment

[@colinpaton3304]

This is actually super relaxing, almost ASMR style video for me; I love the shifting rhythms, your quiet persistence/resilience, the cool white colourtones. Good luck with the channel!

[@TaylorTries]

Thanks! That’s why I don’t add any music behind it, I find it relaxing to listen to too!

[@tomjoyce9401]

This is for every juggler. One of the best all-round videos on juggling I have seen. It's especially encouraging to see someone at Taylor's level get a little winded: she's human, too!

[@boudhanotdead8855]

Wow, lots of people are showing their skills on YT, but very few are showing their actual training, sweating and 'fails'. Highly appreciated and motivating. Thanks

[@brucecrane9605]

Like all accomplished athletes it's the dedication to practice that gets the results. Juggling would surprise most of how exhausting and physically taxing it is. This video was motivating.

[@HordurSmariJohannesson]

Love it, this is 90% of being a juggler. Practice :) 5 months? Closing in on 15 years for me, thought I was done but watching this has me itching again...

[@user-zr9hu3tf1y]

ok, about a week later. have you practiced yet??!

[@bregje_juggling]

I really think it’s interesting how other jugglers train! Thanks for this video! And those high ceilings are awesome, I want them too!

[@SchiwiM]

I also didn't juggle very much in 2020, this year somehow stole my motivation for anything

[@buddy3635]

You’re not alone😂 If you get back into it though, it’s a really fun activity that makes you feel a lot better, I speak from experience

[@BartonChittenden]

I found my motivation by teaching one of my co-workers to juggle last fall. He really got into it, and that really got me going again.

[@stephen25uk]

Inspirational. it clearly shows that hard work and persistence are essential. Super juggling.

[@benspencer8783]

Each trick is listed in the description. Thank you Taylor..give me a few decades to learn these 🤣

[@michaelfragola]

Hey, Taylor! I just wanted to thank you for all you do. Thanks to your tutorial, I was able to get my first 5 ball qualify today! Thanks so much!

[@TaylorTries]

Thanks Michael! Congrats on the 5b quality! That’s huge!

[@k001daddy]

Watched the whole thing. Mesmerizing!

[@ealo4673]

Great video. Very relaxing and inspiring to watch such dedication and focus. I started for the first time in March after seeing your 3 ball cascade when quarantine started. Happy to report I'm finally 'cascading' after daily practce since March. Thanks for all you do and say. FABULOUS ceiling height.

[@denisepayneyoga]

100% amazing and inspiring! Thank you for this 🙏🏻

[@seanhampson4126]

I love when you show the entire process like this in a video. You can really see the gears turning in your head when you change from trick to trick or stay focused on the same trick after messing up. Your videos like this taught me to watch myself on video to catch my own mistakes more easily. Thanks for this!

[@brucecrane9605]

Enjoyed peeking behind the curtain (with sub titles) to appreciate what makes Taylor's juggling so good. Practice, practice, practice failure and success. The quality of this video was exceptional. thanks

[@jongler9775]

From my beginner point of view, starting a training session with 5 balls cascade is like a dream, and is amazing to see. Good stuff ! By the way, the height of the ceiling seems perfect too. How nice !

[@philja23]

I just taught one of my Juggling Lessons today, Distance Ed. I used you as one of my examples of a Real Juggler and Someone to Look at for Inspiration, because not only do you show great juggling, but you show what Juggling really is..... a lot of drops. It can be frustrating for even adults to see jugglers Nailing every trick, every time they try it, but that's not real life. I tell my downtown Middle School boys that you show what juggling really is; Attempt after attempt, drop after drop, for baby steps of progress. It's so easy to "fake" perfection, and you keep it real and grounded. Thanks!

[@brucecrane9605]

Very nice work with the clubs. Love the high ceilings.

[@ionescualexandru6338]

Seeing a pro juggler dropping props. Restores my faith in humanity ❤️

[@vedanggogate4]

Hey Taylor!!! Your big fan thanks to your tutorials I learnt Mills mess ,shower pattern and box:) .

High Ceilings! Must be great to know you'll be able to do this stuff without worrying about the weather. Hope your move went well and I'm looking forward to more videos of the laser cutter.

[@iglabdassmawurschdis]

You are awesome! And it definitely helps to see you drop. Shows that nobody is perfect :-)

[@blueshadow84]

Thanks for the video, Taylor! If you decide to post more practice videos up, would it be possible to annotate what specific tricks or exercise, if any, you're working on. I think it'd be a great resource for people to look up those exercises so they can work on them. Thanks!

[@TaylorTries]

That’s a great idea! In fact, I’m going to try to make a time stamp of each trick so it shows up in the timeline for this one. That way you can just click to the trick you want to see! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@TaylorTries]

Added the tricks to the description and timeline!

[@blueshadow84]

Thanks!

[@azuarc]

@@TaylorTries I was about to say...dude, they're in the time bar! (Although, to be fair, I don't know what all the names mean.)

[@uatuma_fattori]

I watched your vídeo trying to do all your tricks. A lot of tricks!!! That was a nice training!!

[@uatuma_fattori]

It was like train with another person. I’m from Brazil, my circus school is closed and i’m training alone for 8 months haha

[@yakeenkelly7583]

Your incredible!!!!

Wow, you’re still amazing after 5 months!!!🤩🤩🥳

[@timtheasianinc]

That ceiling though!!! Lol =op

[@TaylorTries]

ITS SO HIGH!

[@jugglingtime8703]

I watched the whole thing and dang good practice

[@TaylorTries]

Aw thanks!

[@sanwalijaz642]

Finally!!!!!!!!

[@TheFocusX]

50:34 lol that has happened to me so many times. It's unbelievable how things like that always happen while juggling! Few years ago I was performing LED-juggling with a couple of friends. There was this closed door next to a stage that had a little space underneath it. Of course my friend dropped during an act and the ball rolled straight underneath that door to another room. Nobody had keys to that door so he couldn't get that ball back during the show. Audience laughed and probably thought it was part of the show!

[@azuarc]

I'm always amazed by how smooth you make everything look. Even when you're dropping, performing complicated tricks, etc., everything still looks fluid and natural. I can't seem to achieve that even when I'm just doing 3-ball cascade. Any suggestions for consistency beyond "just practice?"

[@TaylorTries]

That’s a good question! I think learning to think about how you catch the props is important. Consciously thinking about not stopping the prop’s momentum when you catch it, sort of like catch an egg that you don’t want to break. That’s at least the start!

[@seanhampson4126]

another thing that helps is focus on your breathing instead of your mistake while going for a prop you've dropped. It can change your demeanor and make it look much more fluid, since you're more relaxed.

[@GolightlyAnimations]

Taylor Tries is back!

[@JeanBrnl]

ahhaha this is so fun: we all look the same when we train solo at home like this ahah you living room is juggling friendly tho. Really nice ! :)

You weren't kidding, that is a tall ceiling!

[@luckybox6047]

Hey Taylor I'm so excited that you are posting again 👏 which balls are those 👀

[@TaylorTries]

These are medium Sport Juggling Co beanbags ☺️

[@franzho2841]

Speechless...

[@hunterdeane418]

Always juggling all day long lol! I would like come over to Utah to juggle with you! Really nice house you have there 😏

[@davidgivins4203]

A little of what it takes to be good. Do you ever practice juggling rings? I'll be incorporating as much as I can. Thanks for the session.

[@MadJugglerTV]

Your backcrosses with clubs were inspiring

[@autom7134]

For sure, I think I'd need to spend about 6 months just to get the shoulder mobility to start dialing in my throws.

[@richardveldkamp2953]

Nice training! Is put the video on when i was training. Got a lot of motivation from it. What balls do you use in this video?

[@juanjodo7035]

I liked your workouts, wow 1 hour of practice? it is enough!!! I practice 30 minutes a day. I liked the video.

[@conductor4a47]

Mad skillz

[@micchaelfearn5163]

Wish I could stop 5 months, then do all that ,I'd be so happy I couldn't juggle at all before. 😉 well done Taylor! !!!!!

[@selet3801]

Great video! What kind of balls do you use?

[@Peter-zv8cy]

awsome

[@buddy3635]

#practicemakesperfect Go Taylor!

[@buddy3635]

Have you always taught yourself juggling, or have you learned from others? Cause, like that’s a lot of tricks!

[@pab_6662]

Sos una genial!!!!!

[@brittanyking3524]

Loved seeing the full practice cuz I did notice something and I wanted to ask your opinion, people say to have a rhythm so they bounce but you don’t do that. Is that more personal preference? Also I got 11 catches today. So I’m gonna keep going.

[@TaylorTries]

I think “bouncing” as you throw can be an okay technique to learn the rhythm when you’re first learning to juggle, but it can quickly become very detrimental to your improvement. It makes it harder to learn a lot of tricks, and uses more energy so you get tired quicker. I’d say after you can do 10 catches of 3 balls, you should definitely work on not bouncing your body ☺️

[@moe999cow]

So jealous of your ceilings!

Amazing mam

[@simplyme9336]

Do you do any supplementary exercises besides juggling like lifting weights/yoga/pilates or anything else? I try to start juggling with 4 balls but maybe because of 4-5 years of dancing I need some time to rebalance the coordination and strength on my body. Would you recommend me anything specific?

[@TaylorTries]

I like to do about 30 mins of cardio or weight lifting/body weight exercises 5/6 times a week. It helps me keep up my endurance for juggling! It’s also really important to stretch before juggling. I do 10-15 mins of stretching before I juggle, focusing on my neck, shoulders, arms, and back. For 4 balls, you shouldn’t need too many other exercises, it’s mostly coordination at that level! But adding any sort of upper body exercises will also help 😄

[@rubenmusic827]

Where did you get that shirt!?!? I want one!!

[@TaylorTries]

You can buy it from the IJA teespring page! teespring.com/stores/ija-store

[@jman2208]

Hey just watching your full juggling practice video and i have a question have you ever competed in the wjf juggling competitions and would you ever compete in one?

[@TaylorTries]

I haven’t! I have gone to watch them many times, but the competition is too high for my abilities now. They used to do an intermediate level competition, which I would compete in, but now they just do advanced which is super hard!

[@senek4663]

You rock =)

[@ts214121]

My regret was trying to move onto 5-ball juggling too soon. I could have learned so much 3 and 4 object juggling with that time and effort. I am sure I could have learned 3-club backcrosses and lots of 4-ball tricks. My personal best for the 4-club async fountain was about 44 catches, and 5b was about 33 catches. You millennials and Z'ers are so lucky. I had no KZbin in the 1990s and had to learn a lot of stuff out of a book.

[@shrutiskitchen6806]

Can you upload some new juggling tutorial ?

[@ezequielcano3548]

Hola muy bueno por que no haces semaforos

[@troublingleaf]

That's insanity to me, I'm just trying to learn 3 ball inside and outside cascade transitions, for maybe a half hour a night this last week, I should focus on getting one form consistent, but I need the variation to hold my interest. I don't think I'd ever have the patience to reach your level!

[@zekemitchell-hopmeier5398]

Jugglequips have a tall price tag but I've heard they're good for outside juggling. Are they worth the investment?

[@TaylorTries]

If you like beanbags and prefer juggling outside, then yes they’re great. They’re super durable and waterproof! They are heavier and more dense than most beanbags though, so keep that in mind. But for durability they can’t be beat!

[@professionalburrito6529]

I have some jugglequip bean bags, and I would highly recommend them if you like to juggle outside.

I know that that's already a lot of work to de-rush and put everything together, however, music would add a great value to this kind of video, maybe synch on what you listen to, but yeah, that mean dmca, revenue clainm etc.. Anyway, i'm glad that you made it to your new home and wish you nothing but the best for the next chapter of your journey. Cheers

[@trevorbradley5029]

I like it without music..the rhythm is relaxing..maybe its a juggler thing..

[@TaylorTries]

I’ve thought about putting music behind it, but I’ve found that a lot of people enjoy the sound of the props without music, so I chose not to. You can definitely play Spotify or something behind the video so you can listen to your own though!
