Plan

I'm working my way through the juggling articles... Juggling is expanding to encompass ALL the juggling arts, and an overview of each one. Where warranted, each form of juggling will have its own article as well. Please don't merge this with Juggling, but if it seems right, some of this information may be added there... just not too much as Toss Juggling can easily overpower the whole article.Pedant 03:27, 2004 Nov 7 (UTC)

This page is crap. I recommend it be reduced down to a very short description of the term "toss juggling", in other words, throwing and catching balls clubs and rings. All the rest that talks about the details of juggling patterns is not suitable for an encyclopedia, which is what this website is... not a "how to juggle" guide or a personal website. Actually, I'll strip it all out now, and if you want to add back in some details, go for it, but please consider what makes a good encyclopedia entry. - A guy who cares. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.83.40.27 (talk) 12:11, 12 September

I agree with Pedant, don't merge this or reduce this just yet. Juggling as an art form seems to be picking up steam, especially through people like Jason Garfield with his infamous Chris Bliss Diss. And also, technically, if you were to open up an encyclopedia to "Juggling," you would probably want a description of Juggling as well as a description of how to perform said act, at least in a facial and summative sense. No, leave it for now.
Also, does the phrase "Juggling is Fun" really need a citation? I mean really. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.38.154.95 (talk) 09:57, 14 July 2007

I agree this article "toss juggling" should NOT be removed or reduced. the subject "Toss Juggling" is a very big one and easily deserves an article to its self. this has some very good info accurately described and well written (I am a juggler myself so i do have a valid opinion on this). i think with some verification this article has very good potential to be one of the more rounded juggling information sources on the internet. i also agree with the earlier comment that if toss juggling is merged with other juggling articles then it may swamp it and be unhelpful to people looking for more specific information. the reflexes section is un-cited but quite true in my personal experience of juggling and teaching others. --musojuguy 17:15, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Reflexes

edit

I'll raise issue with the "Reflexes" section of this article. From what I've learned juggling doesn't improve your refexes as much as your object tracking and path prediction skills. You don't juggle well by throwing the balls wildly, and then catching them quickly where ever they come down, you watch the paths of the balls and more your hands to where you think the balls will come down.

Merge of two articles

I've proposed a merge of Juggling pattern and Juggling notation. Please discuss on the talk page. Fences&Windows 03:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Tone

Why and where is this article's tone inappropriate or need improving and how should it be improved? Hyacinth (talk) 01:51, 8 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
