Dizz Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I don't like spreadsheets, so I would rather keep conversation in this thread for all to benefit. I am a skilled juggler, contact juggler. I can spin poi, baton relatively well. I like to dabble. Such is the nature of circus arts... you want to collect them all! I would like to know if there are others like me or if you want to learn. I would love to point you in the right direction.

WritingWeaver Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Contact juggling is something I would be interested in learning, though I have terrible body flow and I'm not much good with my hands. I would be more interested in spinning (poi perhaps, but I am looking at getting a bo staff), a little acrobatics, and tumbling. Any help would be appreciated Quote Weight Loss. 195lbs -> 135lbs (60lbs target loss) 0% 0% Link to post
Dizz Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I was so uncoordinated as a kid, they put me in a special pe class.I learned by practicing an hour a day. You can too! Learning anything like this teaches body awareness. It just takes a little time... half hour to and hour a day. Keep it fun! If it gets frustrating, try doing something else for a while.

sterre Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Oh! I was playing with poi a bit last month. I'm not very good at it and I'm not sure if I have time to try to work in any practice this challenge, but maybe next challenge I will.

Dizz Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Juggled for 15 minutes in my living room. Working on symmetry.

kaelvan Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Loving the links. Thanks. I'm pushing myself to learn contortion. Sadly, can't afford take classes (also more than hour away too ). So far actually being able to do quit a bit. 1 Quote “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.†~Paulo Coelho I'm a level 3 moon elf, who's an druid assassin.

illuviel Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 This skillset is very relevant to my interests. If this is continuing with the next challenge, count me in (where applicable: I am recuperating from injury). 1 Quote lvl 0 Daoine Sidhe(Cave Elf) RecruitDruid/Assassins take pruning *very* seriously."I'm not a bat, but I know things." - Tansy, Symbiont by Mira GrantBattle log * Recruit Challenge Link to post
