Hi guys, what's going on? Mr. Michael here. In today's class we will talk about

1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,000
juggling. I want to share with you 13 steps, 13 exercises for winning. I want to

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
share with you a progression. So, with three balls I'm going to start with one

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
ball. The first is the simple throwing. Focus on your elbows, close to your body,

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:28,000
90 degrees. As you remember, throw overhead, that's more or less. Try right,

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,000
try left, and try to not move your feet. The second is the alternative throwing.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
It's more or less the same, but you're going to change the hand. Third step,

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:53,000
simple, simple throwing with variation. What is a variation? Like this. Good work

8
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
guys. Now, we are going to do the skill proof. The skill proof is take the ball

9
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
in the other side of the hand. As you can see, if you catch the ball when it's

10
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:15,000
going up, it's easier. Then, fifth step, alternative throwing with two balls. So,

11
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,000
it will be like that. When you start controlling the ball, you can throw

12
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
earlier than the ball lands. That's the idea. Simultaneous throwing. This is the

13
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
sixth step. As you can see, it's very challenging. Throw the two balls at

14
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
the same time and at the same height. Seven, six, simultaneous throwing, seven,

15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,000
four, and pass. Start just with one ball, and then start the acceleration. So,

16
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:56,000
faster each time. The eighth, I call it the crucial one, because it's the most

17
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
crucial exercise in all the progression. And that's it, crucial one, okay? Throw,

18
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:11,000
wait, throw. Throw, wait, throw. So, maybe the most important thing is throw the

19
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
ball when the first ball is starting to go down from the highest point.

20
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,000
That's it. Throw, wait, throw. Throw, wait, throw. Left and right, and right and left.

21
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Then, the ninth, maybe it's a bit tricky, is the cascade, okay? So, two juggling

22
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:43,000
balls in the same hand. If you get the ninth, you can get the

23
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
crucial with three balls. Now, there are three balls in my hands. I'm going to

24
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
throw this the first, and this ball is not going to move in all the time. It's

25
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:01,000
like that. Pam-pam, in the other side, pam-pam. Good work. An easy thing is that

26
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
the balls are small enough to take them in your hands. Now, cascade three balls

27
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
with three throw-ins. If you can do the one, two, maybe you can do the one, two,

28
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:23,000
three. One, two, three. That's the next step. The twelfth is cascade, continuously, at

29
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
least ten throw-ins. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Exactly.

30
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:38,000
And the thirteenth is cascade with variations. So, a variation could be low

31
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
throw-ins, like this. Low and fast throw-ins. Another one could be cascade and cascade

32
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:53,000
with two hands, like this. Another one, against the wall. Another, starting with a

33
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:01,000
forearm pass. Now, it's all up to you. As I usually say to you, don't give up, and

34
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
repetition makes perfection. Good luck, guys.
