Rundown of Juggling Rings

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Adria. I am one of the professional jugglers here at ExpertVillage.com. We are going to learn about juggling rings. Now I am going to refer you back to the three ball beginning instructions by Steven Bent here at ExpertVillage to learn how to do three ball juggling because three ball juggling is the preliminary juggling that you need to know in order to juggle any object that we have here, except for the diablo, but that is a different talent-set all together. Now something very important keep in mind about rings. Balls move nice and easily, you notice I am only using my lower arms, my upper arms are pretty much glued to my side. We have something very interesting about rings, they are hollow. First of all if I just throw a ring gently, the camera might not have been able to see that, so let me do it from this way, I just tossed a ring they go away. When you are working with rings you have to over-spin you wrist, over spinning so the ring does not go out but stays relatively near you. Some of the dangers that come with over spinning too much, the most frequent accidents that ring jugglers suffer from is cracked collar bones and cracked nose. So I use thin rings, you can see how thin they are. There are fat rings that are made. They are very much gentler on the hand. However when it comes to numbers juggling say you want to work with five or six rings, you cannot hold those fat rings in your hands because there are too many of them. When you want to do certain tricks with the rings and certain patterns with the rings you cannot hold those fat rings in your hands. I use thin rings, I am willing to take the chance with my collar bone and my nose. So these are rings keeping in mind that rings resemble those Frisbee rings outside that people play with, these are not to be used in any kind of windy condition. If you are juggling outside it is better to use a heavier object like a club and not the rings.
