The goal of this wiki is to offer "learning paths", of similar patterns with increasing difficulty. |
|||
Backups of this wiki: |
|||
There are different types of difficulty, so there is more than one starting point for each type of throw. Entry points with no/little experience all start with "Beginning with" |
|||
* https://github.com/iridos/jugglingpatterns-wiki/ |
|||
* text of pages in github-wiki: https://github.com/iridos/jugglingpatterns-wiki/wiki |
|||
* https://jugglingpatterns.dropamsee.de |
|||
The beginnings (mostly) use only one throw type. When that throw has been practiced in different patterns, we start mixing different throw types. |
|||
The goal of this wiki is to provide a collection of juggling patterns, organized into "learning paths" that contain patterns of increasing difficulty. |
|||
== Entry Patterns == |
|||
These patterns are suitable for beginners. It helps a lot if one juggler is more experienced. If you mostly did patterns like 4-count some of the later patterns can still be of interest. |

The wiki tries to answer the question: |
|||
<center><b>"What should I try learning next?"</b></center> |
|||
and also: |
|||
<center><b>"I want to learn this (for me right now difficult) pattern, how do I get there"</b></center> |

<!-- == Theory == |
|||
a.k.a "what do all the numbers mean" |
|||
There are many other juggling resources, but most of them do either provide no difficulty rating - or neglegt that there is more than one type of difficulty that a juggling pattern can have. Here, I tried to group patterns with common traits and also a common set of difficulty-types. |
|||
Most patterns can be described best by a juggling math called [[Siteswap]], and from that it is possible to do animations and tell passers what they have to do and how they have to start the pattern. You don't need to know how this works to juggle the patterns, but you will constantly see traces of the theory being used throughout the pages and at some point understanding will be helpful. This is described here: |
|||
Entry points are provided for each type of throw, as each kind of throw needs a different throwing technique. |
|||
* Entry point [[Siteswap]] |

|||
These entry points are labeled as "Beginning with [...]" and primarily focus on building proficiency with a single throw type before progressing to more complex patterns that incorporate multiple throw types. |

These patterns are suitable for beginners. It helps a lot if one juggler is more experienced and can throw very nice, high and slow passes. All patterns only use one throw type (on the beginner side). Note that being suitable for beginners does not in all cases mean that these patterns are easy if you already have experience passing clubs in e.g. 4-count, 3-count, 2-count. These patterns tolerate much faster and lower passes than the patterns here. Also, the pattern sequences here will often feel complex if you only did a lot of n-count type patterns until you get used to them. |

This is a good start into patterns with zaps and selfs, because the zip-self can just be substituted with doing nothing: |

The next patterns already mix high selfs and low zaps: |

* [[75666 pass,self,self,zap,self]] |
|||
The Patterns I collected aren't so good trainings patterns, as we figured out when trying ourselves because in period 5, the double passes trigger each other, which makes the patterns unstable more quickly, as any bad double pass leads to another bad double pass and onto a downward spiral |

The purpose of this wiki is to help you find the 1-3 new juggling patterns or tricks, that you want to try next. There are many resources on juggling patterns available on the net, but I often found myself overwhelmed by a long list of patterns of varying difficulty without a clear indicator on what single pattern to try out. |
|||
== Difficulty == |
|||
There is often no clear difficulty comparison between two patterns, because there is more than one type of difficulty in juggling. One can imagine them as difficulty dimensions - like axes on a coordinate system. A pattern can be easier than another one on one axis, but more difficult on another. |
|||
Types of difficulties include: |
|||
* height of throws |
|||
** number of high throws |
|||
** difference in height between highest and lowest throw |
|||
* length and/or complexity of sequence |
|||
Things that push your level back towards beginner: |
|||
* different object to juggle (ball vs club vs ring) |
|||
* different type of throws (crossed arms/mills mess, body throws in pattern) |
