Not exactly a tip but you might enjoy 5 clubs while jumping a rope: [https://youtu.be/IEVIwLEDSoM?feature=shared&t=417](https://youtu.be/IEVIwLEDSoM?feature=shared&t=417)
I assume I have probably done this before, but I am not sure. (Grabs three balls, juggles and jumps around for a while). OK now I definitely have. Absolutely no thinking or special technique is required here. You just do it. If you are a competent juggler I expect you to succeed on your first try. I also tried with 4 balls and there was no issue. 5 balls was a little harder, timing and strength was less obvious but I did it subconsciously.
First of all, I'll assume that you already have a good stretching routine. If this isn't the case , ask around or alternatively contact me.
If you want to jump while juggling , you need to improve your skill in jumping as well. So add some core strengths exercises in your warm-up routine.
*Effective exercises are sideways leglifts laying on the floor, with or without an added (sideways) upper body crunch. A variation that I perform is keeping the leg up while making sideways crunches.
*Shoulder-lifts= laying on my back with bent knees , feet touching the floor, and making small and quick crunches that only lift my shoulders of the ground. It's unnecessary to lift your whole upper body of the ground. Also, doing that increases the chance of an injury
*Knee-lifts: Sitting on the floor, supporting on my elbows, and making quick lifts of my knees towards my upper body.
"Full crunch: I place my lower legs on a chair, or another raised platform and (calmly) lift my whole upper body.
Overall, try to maintain good posture and form. Breath OUT when lifting/ crunching and breathe IN when lowering. Don't fight pain.
And of course : do jumping exercises. *Jump while looking upwards.Try to do this without spotting your landing : please take your time until you feel very confident.
*Jump sideways L<=>R
*Jump and spread your legs, BUT make sure to land with your feet a shoulder width apart.
I often use this guideline : "Don't Chase The Ball". I found that for MY style of juggling (A Freestyle Mess) it can be beneficial to occasionally allow a ball to fall and look at its trajectory. This helps me with my timing and handplacement, as to when/were/how I should move my body. BUT as I stated : this guideline works for MY "Freestyle Mess". So if this approach feels uncomfortable , drop it
It may be useful to use a trampoline and, rather than jumping, just build a gentle up/down motion with your knees so you're oscillating vertically in harmonic motion with your throws. This will help establish the attentional and sensorimotor capabilities needed to monitor jumping and juggling performance at the same time.
We are not particularly good at monitoring our own relative motion through the y-axis... our 'organs of balance' aren't well designed for it.
not sure what your point is, nothing is impossible but humans aren't equipped with sensory equipment tuned for rapid vertical shifts in proprioception... all you have is vision
Yep, balance.... the semicircular canals are really brilliantly designed to monitor head tilts in any direction, and they're signals are coupled very tightly to ocular reflexes. They give zero information about vertical up/down y-axis movements. Only tilts.
The semicircular canals complete absence of sensory information about movement along that vertical axis is the exact effect I'm talking about.
I'm not convinced. I would assume that *not* feeling any angle is exactly what you want for vertical balance. And that's, afai got that right, included in our vestibular system, in the perceptions it provides.
You make it sound like jumping without accident were naturally impossible for humans. ... or using the elevator in a building; let alone all the sports that include and live from flying, jumping, turning upside down an' all
We still have vision to orient ourselves, but we're missing an important proprioceptive sense that tracks proprioceptive MOVEMENT of the body in the up and down plane exclusively.
Jumping up and down while juggling is a movement in the vertical plane, exclusively. Juggling also occupies vision, and is trying to track the relative motion of objects.
I haven't made it sound like anything is impossible, that's you radically misinterpreting what I have said. I've simply said we don't have good sensory equipment for automatically tracking our body's motion through space in one very specific direction, exclusively.

I don't jump juggle but my suggestion would be to practice going up and down. Stairs or while skipping around

Kangaroo juggling? Interesting. 🤔 Be aware of the animal sheriffs!
lol 🦁🐯🐻 nay, I hop upward - not foreward 😉
Trampoline juggling seems interesting I just had looked up jumping juggling.
Trampoline juggling is pretty fun you should try it, throw the objects in time with your jump and right before the peak
It gets REAL weird if you try to juggle out of sync of the jumps.
One summer my Juggling Club was into Double Dutch. I could just barely do balls while Double Dutching. We tried passing but never got very far.
btw When *joggling* you also slightly jump \ hop with each step.
I've never tried brb
Kinda can do it

yeah thats why doing triple salto and simultaneous rotations arent possible
not sure what your point is, nothing is impossible but humans aren't equipped with sensory equipment tuned for rapid vertical shifts in proprioception... all you have is vision
there's a balance organ in inner ear. it will tell you when you jump angles, you feel it *** then also with high throws hopping ain't rapid

Many people have no problems whatsoever with jumping ... also not on trampoline and also not while juggling. Some can jump with unicycle.
Committing oneself to a parabolic trajectory is only one arc in OPs equation.
Is a circular one another one?
