contact juggling

Felixwah · Posted: Thu 07th Jun, 2007 12:20 pm Post subject: contact juggling

i have been cjin for about 4 or 5months and have got all the basics down plus some other random shizzle. I feel that as CJin is relativly new to the whole scene and feel it hasnt been fully explored, i mean dont get me wrong there are absolutly exceptional cjer's out there that make it look effortless and as im not really a pro at it i cant really comment but there must be more to it than body movement and ball movement or at least different sub catagories within them. I have noticed people have started poppin/liquid dancing with it which i suppose is steering in the direction of new development, plus i have also noticed ppl doing the same sort of thing with 1 juggling club or hoops so i reckon it is expanding that way technically you could isolate anything that can fit in your hands lol, anyway rambling on too much, i personally have never met another contact juggler in person which is sucky but i will be willing to help ppl learn or if anyone else does it let me know what you know :D

My girl!
Contact juggling is a WONDERFUL art and looks extremely trippy when done well!
I don't do it myself, cos I don't currently have the funds for a CJ ball - I've had a go though. Tis damn hard but fun!

It basically consists of passing 1 or more clear balls around your body in a fluid weird liquid type motion.

Here's a video!

iv been trying to CJ fora long time to no avail but 2 weeks ago i got the pleasure of a day with durbs and bluecat with poi and contact balls and god did i get a workout Smile

i recommend you watch these guys at work, even if you dont get a lesson from them,just watching them will give you ideas. yes Durbs is a great CJer Smile

also have a look on youtube for lessons by "brine" - he does some great contact lessons for beginners and also check out contactjuggling.org for some of the best vids on the net Smile
