Hooping, with Peachysteve.
A while back, Steve and I made an instructional hula hoop DVD (later an app). The app is no longer available due to the app stores constantly updating their terms and requirements, but the DVD still is. But this isn’t (really) a sales pitch, as we’re putting the videos up on YT for free.
New bite-sized lessons every Tuesday & Friday. Available in both English & Spanish versions. (Subtitles, no voiceover.) Check out the ones already up, at

…, and Subscribe to get reminded when each new one comes along. (Yes, that’s the same YT channel I use for the podcast out-takes. You can ignore those when they come along, if you like. ;-P )
You can read the rave reviews, or even order the DVD, via

Might as well embed the sample here too:

Enjoy!

Hey folks, new to the forum here. I have been juggling for a few years but I started a bit past an ideal age 🙄 so it has been slow going. Really still trying to improve basics and learn some 3 club tricks.
It has been very interesting getting started, and fortunately there is a juggling club near me that meets 1 or 2 times a week.
Hope to lurk around the forum some and gain a little momentum now that the weather is warming up (my downstairs neighbors insist I practice outside.)

Hi, I’m brandon rogers and I’m an avid yoyoer who runs a local yoyo club in DC area DMV throwers. We have slowly partnered with various other yoyo and juggling clubs in our area as the hobby is small and more people can allow us to do more cool things and meet more amazing and supportive people.
In this process I’ve also been slowly learning the very basics of juggling and while I’m still learning to do simply stuff I’m hoping to branch out my skills and engage with the juggling community more.
Welcome, Brandon. Fellow yo-yoer here, but my skills are mostly stuck in the early 2000s. :-) Good luck with your jams.
Hello fellow jugglers, my name is Thor and I live in the UK.
I have 4 primary obsessions, juggling balls, contact ball, staff and spinning star.
I might have taken the last one a little too far, lol.
For the last few years I’ve been working on a little project of mine https://ucircus.co.uk/
It's primarily designed as a Wiki for juggling moves but it's still very early days and my web code and back end database are definitely not one of my skills! So it's very cobbled together. Note, it works best on PC atm, as it's not currently optimised for mobile.
The plan is to make this open source once its functionality is better worked out.
And for the community to then contribute moves, name tricks (voted up/down), submit training videos and any other juicy juggling data as this is definitely not a one person project!! lol :D
Great project!
• Appealing design
• comfortable, user-friendly navigation
• great variety of props, disciplines, tricks, skills, moves, (or planned).
I hope it'll fruit!
Hi there,

Over the past decade there has not been so much innovation any more with juggling probs. In the near past people like Matty, Kilian and others have experimented with lighter club handles and Henrys now is producing carbon fiber handles which make juggling clubs lighter in weight and thus easier to do long runs of juggling or to juggle more objects. Now Luke Burrage has developed a hyperboloid shape for club handles and made a 30 minutes video where he explains the why and how:

I wish he would provide the source files from his experiments so that others could try to tweak them to their liking and maybe a new club handle comes widely available.
Are there any more developments like this with juggling probs that you know of? Can we have the sources of those experiments be in the open, that we can innovate all together and learn from each other?
Juggling Lexicon
Hey everyone! I'm starting a project to document juggling terminology and its variations across languages. However, I only know a smattering of the juggling terms used in languages other than English, so I would love some support with the project. "Terms" includes not only names for tricks and patterns (cascade, fountain, backcross, scorpion kick), but any term that jugglers use (flash, qualify, cycle, grip, club).
I'd like to include as many languages and as much depth as I can, including differences within the same language (alberts/body throws/crotch throws, everies/ultimates/1-count). Any contributions would be incredibly valuable!
