I'm 73. I juggle every day. I juggled a bit in my 40's but only started again one year ago. It works wonders for me developing me physically and mentally. Learning new tricks is mentally exhausting but by training in many small doses I get there eventually and the satisfaction is tremendous. It keeps me young and fit. I recommend it for any age, not just for kids.
I've been juggling for 30 minutes everyday for the last 6 years. The best I can do is juggle 7 balls for about 12 seconds. 6 years ago, my sister, who is neuroscientist told me to juggle a little each day rather than, for example, 6 hours on Saturday and Sunday while no practice during week days. She was right. As this video explains, the key to success is constant persistence in small doses.
Excellent plan. "Weekend warriors " get hurt all the time, delaying the next practice session. Adding mental practice is a good way to get more time in once you get the hang of the skill.
i learned 4 balls by juggling 2 with the left (weak) hand and walking my dog with the right hand. After 2 weeks of walking the 4 balls worked much better. I noticed that I used 80 percent concentration on the left side. after a few months it is now 50 / 50 on left/right and now balanced.
Wunderbar - I taught English in Moscow. I told my students to practice a little every day rather than for hours an hours on Saturday. Your work confirms my advice was correct.
Perfect timing! I started today! I juggled for 3 hours w/lots of stretching & walking to break it up & for a break. I was hoping to create muscle memory & new neurons in my brain after hearing so much on brain plasticity! Thanks so much for these tips! Even w/brain impairment, I was able to do this exercise w/the triangle & square on the second try on for one side & the first try when reversed...dominant hand=first time. This is really a wonderful & very informative talk & I am very grateful for this awesome video! Thank you so very much!
I just started learning 3 days ago. Ive been putting in a few hours at a time. Something I noticed was that my brain felt strained after each day but the next morning, i would try and i would beat my personal record by a landslide. first day i got 5 throws as a high. second day i got 13. I woke up on day 3 and immediately got 27 on the first try. Really interesting stuff. I now understand how my brain works.
It has been such a long journey trying to Juggling because it's not only the science of seeing the effects on the brain due to the complex handling of 3 balls as puzzling task in your mind, but it's also as Mr. Choma said, "overcoming the insecurities and frustration of it all". The way I interpreted that, but also my own personal experience in failing and feeling like giving up, and actually doing that made me get up again because sitting in the corner and saying "I can't do it" I see know reinforces that demotivation and nothingness, as opposed to doing it with the mindset that it helps with overcoming that feeling of barriers that insecurity and frustration brings." As little as just completing the task an hour a day, just adds up over time and it's been seen with the data here and for me too. I just want to keep doing it because it's a good habit to build and also it taught me that even the simplest habit brings me to the perspective that if I can do this, I can do anything, which is what Mr. Choma said about the kid that gave up and got up again. I saw that in me and hearing that from him crosses to my mind, an even greater pursuit for self-growth. Keeping in mind with the greater purpose of disrupting the symptoms of Alzheimer's and also growing Grey matter in the brain, and maybe even more translating it into my everyday life such as right now: searching up videos and learning, reading little by little, journaling, eating healthy, learning new instruments, and many more. This is just one example for many things that will accumulate into something bigger in the future. Great Video! Can't wait for my amazing Juggling journey in the future! I love it! Whoop!
I just want to wish you good luck in your journey of life. I thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I relate so much to it. Keep going because you and i both know that ur powerful. Have a great life
juggling is never giving up. You always get what you desire with patience. The beginning takes the longest, and once you have it you forget the challenge.
There is so much to be learned about the learning process. Juggling may be a trivial activity, but it is perfect for this type of exploration - a fantastic intersection of mental and physical.
Robert Liberatore Trivial originally meant a crossing point of three things. So three ball juggling couldn't ask for a better definition. The basic forms of toss Juggling? Cascade, Columns, Shower. Totally trivial. If you mean the other sense, of little value and importance, then yeah, it is totally trivial, like all the other arts. (...and sports, colors, tools, theory that isn't put into practice, and the opposable thumb.) Don't believe me? Just think of all the amazing things Claude Shannon, (the inventor of Information Theory that made modern computers possible) could have done if he hadn't wasted all that time juggling. (Don't patronize me by saying that the intense relaxation breaks that juggling offers and the systems thinking that juggling foments actually helped him, and please don't quote the recent Japanese studies that show juggling significantly helped depressed patients. That is really off topic.) It is pure waste. Like comedy. (which would be less wasteful if comedians would just use punchlines, instead of telling all the joke, but it would still be trivial.) We should focus on eliminating trivial activities and stick to the basics. Eat. Sleep. Poop. (reiterate.) Everything else is for babies. (Glad I could be so productive here on youtube.)
Really? I graduated from l'ecole nationale de cirque de Montreal, specialty Juggling. I wouldn't say juggling saved my life, but I would say it is pretty much responsible for most of my life's best moments so far. Juggling got me interested in math for the first time. Juggling was responsible for me learning to work in seven languages. And jugglers are an amazing, eclectic, and marvellous group of people. While doing law in Saskatchewan might have been more profitable, I have been blessed with so many beautiful stories and memories that I wouldn't trade for all the cash and legal precedents in the world. But juggling is trivial. Gloriously trivial. (But less trivial than the ISO 9001 quality standard, to make a few things clear.)
It strikes me that by "trivial" you mean something like "simple". The problem with these sorts of terms is that they depend upon how you're describing the subject. Juggling seems simple, yet I'm sure you know whole books and much work has been done describing juggling mathematically. There are no really good juggling robots yet, despite it's alleged simplicity (see Moravec's Paradox). Arguably, you could spend your whole life finding new ways to conceptualize a 3-ball cascade. I have a friend who borrows from the math used in describing the waves produced by piano keys to think about it. And then, of course, there are people like Mura who continue to pull complexity from the infinite number of patterns in juggling.
it great! , thx you so much. I kinda notice that multiple little sessions of practice (in juggling for example) have better result. but i never thought it true, im actially prefered one long sessions. Thx for lesson!
Great talk. Thanks! I'm busy learning to juggle with 4 balls. It can be frustrating but after this video I am more motivated and will now be more aware of being grateful for small incremental improvements.
wth as soon as I learned to juggle 2 balls in my right hand (dominant) I could juggle 2 balls with my left side no problem. I practiced 4 balls for a day... couldn't really get it but when I woke up it felt natural to juggle 4 balls
Hi , i'm gonna present your idea in my school in France for a short presentation , and i need the led pattern pictures where you can see the evolution of your students ( in juggling and withe the square triangle exercise ) ? can you send it to me please ? :)
I guess I'm hopeless. I couldn't draw a square and a triangle at the same time. Hey, maybe there is hope for me. I'm doing much, much better than those students. 3.2 catches in one week? Do they have palsy? I haven't been counting--I will--but I'd say I'm in there with her six-weekers. Another thing I notice is the tremendous difference between the 6-weekers and the 7-weekers. All in all, although I was discouraged in the beginning, I now feel like a juggling idiot savant.
Quabledistocficklepo hanshaw For me I was thinking are the going too fast, immediately to 3 balls...? Should you not master step by step first (1 ball, 2 balls, one hand, same hands, change hands etc.) 8 weeks to do 3 balls is a lot? And the graphics showed crazy much failures? Are they learning the mistakes or the right technique...?
Is there any way I can be part of that student research program... I'm in the Philippines though, so I'm not sure if there are any programs like that here.
Because it is an individual thing, one needs to experiment with themselves and keep track of data to find out that ideal. But they did say about ten minute breaks after a 20 minute intense session, so start with that.
Why not? If its possible to juggle with closed eyes then juggling robots will be also possible. AI would be needed if you wanted robot to learn something new by itself.
Juggling is intuitive to humans because we don't do the physics calculations, and instead learn "throw ball like this, watch and catch, devote to muscle memory." but a robot could just do the math and juggle without any need for learning at all
the stable patterns is so close from holography .. it also the juggle with fermi and lakant power to power to stapple the power to compare this ratice to redundant well field the power to hoverboards the skirts floating the gloat I carry troguh every minds sets over my set my rage to show the show dow of this power to be the Aspyre - Overclocked to 5.2Ghz on air at .835v millisievert inverters puddle computers fastest yeah
This makes me wonder why the students have any self-doubt at all. Why do they lack confidence and who is taking it away? Also, this approach seems to contradict immersion programs that have no breaks, but produce fluency. The lights are not lead (sounds like red) they are L.E.D. (ell ee dee) lights. LED is not a word, it is an abbreviation, like FBI, CIA, USA, SPCA. Are the speakers allergic to each other? Just stand there and talk, this is distracting.

This. I agree with this. I'm 33 years old now and enjoy daily juggling for around 30-30mns.
I love it!
I hope I get to juggle every day as well until I am 80 ❤️
Great comment!
You learn through frustration but never through giving up. Pausing is not giving up. It's recharging for the next frustrating try before success.
Juggling is like a shark and neuroscience is like a tornado that makes sharks fly.
And Sharknado was a brilliant movie.
Just like their research.

That is amazing! Good for you! That would really be something to see!

juggling balls has raised my confidence n motivation
It is uplifting. Just started

Hey Reid I hope you're doing well, if you don't mind do you still juggle and how this experience affects your life

Nice perspective of juggling. I am discovering great things about this craft lately and such videos do help.

In what sense is juggling "trivial"?
Robert Liberatore Trivial originally meant a crossing point of three things. So three ball juggling couldn't ask for a better definition.

Totally trivial.
If you mean the other sense, of little value and importance, then yeah, it is totally trivial, like all the other arts. (...and sports, colors, tools, theory that isn't put into practice, and the opposable thumb.)

Thank you for improving my skill
The information in this video is so widely applicable. Thx a bunch
So the take-away here is practice in 20min intervals with a 10min break? I like it.
old as world "pomodoro" technics
Hermoso. Excelente material.
It also acts as An AMAZING CARDIO.
Great talk. Thanks! I'm busy learning to juggle with 4 balls. It can be frustrating but after this video I am more motivated and will now be more aware of being grateful for small incremental improvements.
How did it turn out?
I’m actually pretty good, been out the game for awhile
Thank you for this.
wth as soon as I learned to juggle 2 balls in my right hand (dominant) I could juggle 2 balls with my left side no problem. I practiced 4 balls for a day... couldn't really get it but when I woke up it felt natural to juggle 4 balls
Nice. Are you going for 5?
so helpful
No! You're telling me practice makes perfect?!
Excellent.
I actually have known that breaks are important when trying to learn somethong gor a while. Lol. Welcome to the club
Im learning 7 balls now, and my left hand is not throwing high enough 90% of the time... Ugh.... The road is long!
I'm also on the seven train, my heights are generally okay but my accuracy needs improvement. How have you progressed in the year since this comment?
she looks like Ellaria Sand from GOT

Yes the accent matches well
Very Well Done! FR

I'm more interested in the neuroscience of his hair.
@Mindraker1 ah yes, it’s so beautiful
Is there any way I can be part of that student research program... I'm in the Philippines though, so I'm not sure if there are any programs like that here.
lessons/resources to learn juggling ?
Anyone else here because of school
ok so how do i juggle 11 balls
Disappointed. I believed that something more was explained!
Hopefully, one day, our young students will be the ones to find the answers you (and all of us) are looking for!
Great research there, keep going =)
They didn't even say about time that you have to take between lessons.
Because it is an individual thing, one needs to experiment with themselves and keep track of data to find out that ideal. But they did say about ten minute breaks after a 20 minute intense session, so start with that.
you don't have to be good for anything, and still get on Ted .
juggling robots will never exist unless they develop some form of AI. juggling is much intuitive as it is mathematical.
Why not? If its possible to juggle with closed eyes then juggling robots will be also possible. AI would be needed if you wanted robot to learn something new by itself.
You will be very sorely mistaken, we already have robots that can juggle now.
Google high speed robotic hand to give you an idea of what a single robotic hand can do without any A.I.
Juggling is intuitive to humans because we don't do the physics calculations, and instead learn "throw ball like this, watch and catch, devote to muscle memory." but a robot could just do the math and juggle without any need for learning at all

here to learn...not to judge a mans hair style....your feelings of inadequacy rule you
awful sound
This makes me wonder why the students have any self-doubt at all. Why do they lack confidence and who is taking it away? Also, this approach seems to contradict immersion programs that have no breaks, but produce fluency.
