Patterns Search
The idea (Julian Orbach's idea) is to solve the following problem: We are 4 jugglers of different levels (say 1 very good, 2 average and 1 beginner). What patterns can we do ? This search will only give results among the patterns section.
In order to do that, I first had to define some different levels of jugglers.
This is not so easy since many parameters have to be taken into account: ability
to play with different rhythms and feed them, to move while juggling, to do
dropbacks, to throw long passes, ...
I've given below the 4 levels I've used. You may disagree with them. Be also
aware that it's always better to underestimate your level: increasing the difficulty
of a pattern is way easier than the reverse.
- Beginner
- Able to pass a 4-count
- Intermediate
- pass reliably a 4-count or 2-count
- feed
- move slowly while juggling
- catch dropbacks
- Good
- pass in rhythms like PPS
- move and watch what's happening while juggling a 2, 3 or 4-count
- make long passes
- Advanced
- feed any rhythm (PPS, 1-count, ...)
- move quickly
- pass reliable dropbacks
