I'm a club juggler, I just bumped into your video. It is really well made, lot of nice research, great content. As a note: we are not using the juggling pin term any more. Jugglers also refer to the prop as clubs. Back then, it was important to differentiate the clubs by name, now the juggling clubs are more visible via circus culture. What by the way also uses plenty of swinging in some performer styles. I think they can live side by side.

Thank you both for the info. I just bought some vintage wooden clubs (to use for juggling) and never knew the difference. I had always assumed that people juggled bowling pins until special pins started to be made. My specialty is juggling whilst reciting pi. ( Anyone interested can search youtube for juggling, pi, and Japanese.)

Fascinating, nice work. Therapeutic uses of club swinging would be another interesting path to look at.

elementalfitnesslab thanks! Club swinging was used to treat and rehabilitate injured soldiers around the turn of the century. I’ve also spoken to a member of Cirque de Soleil who used club swinging to rehabilitate their injured shoulder.

Once again thank you for producing another video gem. Kudos!

Thank you for the kind words! We're glad you liked it.

I decided to give the Persian clubs a shot this week to help with a years old rotator cuff injury. Now thanks to this video I feel like I know more about clubs as an old school workout and the origin of juggling pins than most experts. This was one awesome, informative video. Thanks Ben!

So glad you liked it, thanks so much for the kind words! It's comments like these that give me motivation to keep going! FYI, we have several other clubs-related videos too, in case you haven't seen them!

So fascinating! I enjoyed the illustrations, old movies and the attire while demoing. Thanks so much for sharing!

Great job! thanks for your research, I hope you do more. I have heard that when Kehoe first started making clubs in the US around 1860, he had one model called "Boston style" and another called "New York style". Did you come across any info about this in your research?

Erik Aberg , thank you for your kind comments! As far as I know, Kehoe only made what you refer to as “New York style” which came to totally dominate in America. The so-called “Boston style” is extremely rare (it went extinct early on), closer in shape to the Indian Jori, and I have only ever seen maybe three or four actual physical specimens still in existence. There is a single one on sale online right now for around $1200 (!).

A whole lot of those images and a lot of that info comes from me.

Hi David, 5 images total came from the Juggling Museum (which I didn’t realize till now is all you), which I had credited in the video end credits as well as in the video description. The vast majority of the research is my own, as I have collected numerous historical articles on Cook, Hoey, Hill, and Van Wyck from the newspapers of the period. The bit towards the end about the construction/evolution of Van Wyck and basket clubs I had read about on your site. Which is why I had directed viewers to visit your Museum in the video description, for more information about juggling clubs and juggling history.

Muito bom 🇧🇷🎪💪
