One Year Of Juggling (50+ Beginner to Intermediate Juggling Tricks)

In January of 2017 I decided that I would juggle for thirty minutes every day for a year. These are all of the tricks I was able to learn in that time. I definitely believe that achieving five balls would have been possible if I had a more structured practice routine, however three ball juggling is a lot of fun and is also much easier to practice in a shorter time span. Some of these patterns are also a bit sloppy/asymmetrical because I never quite got them down or simply forgot how to do them over the course of the year :P Juggling has definitely changed my life for the better, and I am not planning on stopping anytime soon!

I've been juggling for 10 years and I can't do all the tricks he can do. Lol. He did great. He's very good.

[@riley1733]

​@thebrianchannel9890 If you read his description, you'll see he decided to start learning how to juggle in 2017. This video was posted in 2018. That's a year of juggling. I'm a juggler myself and I've been a juggler for about 14 years now. He's been a juggler for 6, almost 7 years. I have twice the experience he has with juggling. I can juggle balls, rings, clubs and I can even juggle fire (fire juggling video on my channel if you want proof). As someone with tons of juggling experience and a self taught juggler at that, you can tell when someone's been putting in the effort and practice to get better at juggling and you can appreciate a good juggler when you see one because you know how much practice it takes to be a good juggler. This video is in no way discouraging to watch. This guy did an amazing job. He can do some tricks I can't even do. He's in no way a bad juggler. He's a great juggler. Get out of here with your negativity.

[@riley1733]

@thebrianchannel9890 Sorry. Misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant his video was discouraging as in he wasn't good. I read that wrong. My bad. Good luck today and have fun. Stay safe.

[@chrislrob]

This is the best video on juggling 3 balls that I have seen. Had no idea there were so many patterns. Just excellent! Has inspired me to master 3 balls instead of just trying for a five-ball flash.

[@Broskidile]

Hey thank you! This is just the tip of the iceberg honestly, you should check out the "library of juggling" website for a bunch more cool three ball patterns and tricks. There is also an android app I used called "Juggling Lab" which is a great resource for three ball jugglers.

[@josiahambrose924]

I've been juggling daily for about 6 months now, and I constantly come back to this video for inspiration. I've got about half of these tricks down, but have a long way to go to learn them all. Very inspired by your progression.

Cool video, I've also been juggling an average of 30 minutes a day for the past nine months or so (but already had the four ball fountain learned before that point) but I don't know nearly as many three ball tricks, probably since I dedicated most of my time to the five ball cascade.

Youre an inspirarion my dude, ive been thinking about picking up juggling for a while now and this video just about tears it. Thanks for the motivation, youre awesome!

[@mrtoad1408]

I would really recommend it. It's fun, weirdly relaxing, activates different parts of your brain and is so satisfying when you learn a trick. Just start simple with 2 balls make sure throws are uniform. Then get the 3 ball cascade down. Stand in front of a wall to begin with (to stop throwing forward) and remember throwing higher gives you more time. Good luck!

[@stevenkoehler6018]

Great--Thank You!!!

[@harshag5423]

Terrific mate. I know how hard it is to get the Box. I have been struggling with it for a long time 😄

[@Broskidile]

Definitely one of the more challenging tricks for me too! The tip that worked for me is to wait a little bit longer before throwing the bottom ball.

[@o-k9267]

What helped me the most was simply practicing the trick with only 2 balls, even if I knew the trick already. Because early box always looks terrible, your throwing/catching hand will tend to rise up too much and your hands will be close together. 2 balls allow you to have more time and less stress perfecting these throws in each hand. Also take a shower.

[@norahstuff8327]

Fantastic!!!

I've been juggling for 8 months and still can do only cascade, reverse cascade, half shower and tennis. Now I'm struggling with columns. Maybe 10 years later I will be able to do theese 50 styles that man mastered in one year.

[@Calebanton]

If you really put in the time and practice purposefully, you’ll see results no matter what. If you really add up the hours you’ve spent practicing, you’ll realize it’s not that much. You just gotta keep in mind that an hour of juggling feels much longer than an hour of something else, so it feels like your putting in more time than you actually are

[@fukgugal3088]

No excuses ;) you did great :)

[@tristanglaze6706]

Hey great video...how long did it take you to master the 3 ball Cascade. I'm wondering how your progressed over the year. Like was the first two months harder and than you started to progress faster or how did it work?thanks

[@Broskidile]

Hey great question!! The first month was pretty difficult because I had no skills or feel for the rhythm of it. I spent a lot of time practicing what I would call 'base' tricks-- tricks that aren't too complex but have a lot of variations that can be built off of. The 423 and one-up two-up are good examples of this. After that it got pretty easy, I found I could learn a trick every few days if I just focussed on it :) Some tricks took longer than others though. For example it only took me a day to learn the weave, but the box took a couple weeks!

[@AtHomeFitness14]

@@Broskidile nice I appreciate the advice I just started about 3 weeks ago and am also hooked. I'm going to focus on the tricks you listed. Right now I have 3 ball Cascade, jugglers tennis, and juggling two balls in each hand separately somewhat down.
