I found this video of choreography by handicapped Chinese people on the Ministry Of Manipulation blog. It’s kind of eerie and surreal, especially when you think of how much more difficult it must be when you can’t count on everyone to see or hear their cues.
Watch this japanese guy kick the other Japanese guy around. It’s a riot!
More seriously, I wonder about how you would train for something like this. I gather from other videos and things I’ve read that they practice with inanimate objects beforehand. Still, everyone makes mistakes, and in this case the mistakes must hurt a lot for the guy getting thrown around. What kind of protection do they wear?
In case you haven’t noticed, juggling is featured regularly on this blog—mainly because it is my preferred form of entertainment. My hope is that you will find it entertaining as well. If you do, you may be inspired to learn to juggle yourself, or at the very least learn enough of the terminology to understand it. Click Here to continue reading.
Adrian Pole is a 12 year old from the UK, and he’s got skills. His juggling is very advanced for his age, and he’s fun to watch. Now an announcment has been made on the The World Juggling Federation website that Adrian would like to compete in this year’s set of competitions, and they are Click Here to continue reading.
Alan Sulc is by far the most technically advance bounce juggler that I have ever seen. No one can force-bounce eight and nine balls as long as he does in performance even in practise sessions!
Olga and Vova Galchenko have been considered the most technically advanced passing team for years. They held the club passing records for 9, 10, 11, and 12 clubs. However, as time went on, Olga and Vova began to go their seperate ways, and their records slipped away. Click Here for more.
These videos of Mattias Jonsson seem to have been largely overlooked. Although he isn’t very original in his tricks, I found his combination of new and old-school tricks meshed with an agressive style to be interesting and engaging. It’s a nice change from jugglers who look like druggies and think they’re artists. He does some neat skateboarding tricks as well. Click Here to continue reading.
Thomas Dietz is one of the few jugglers who can make an entertaining video based on raw skill alone. A couple years back he made ten videos which quickly became some of the most well known juggling videos on the web. Now he’s at it again, releasing three awesome video clips, and this trailer for “Thomas Dietz 11”.
I’ve never thought much of mimes. It always seemed to me that the only thing dumber than a bunch of people playing charades was one person playing charades all by himself. But recently I stumbled upon this video of Jerome Murat, and it proved to be an education for me. It seems that if you know where to look, you can find at least one mime that can entertain you even if your sober. Click Here to continue reading.
