contact juggling?

[simbaisenigma]

does anybody else do this? you most likely dont know what i am talking about. if you would like to find out simply go here http://www.contactjuggling.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page . i was just wondering about it, i recently discovered CJ when i was watching tv. if anyone else has seen the commercial for FUSHIGI then you will understand. i looked up what it was and it sparked my interest. i am an avid poist and am starting to add contact principles into my spinning now because of the CJ. im really anxious to see all the new stuff i can pull off once i learn how to blend the two together. any other jugglers reply and let me know how its going!=)

I've done a little contact juggling, but I'm more into toss. I saw Michael Moschen live a few years ago. (He's probably the greatest contact juggler out there, as you probably know). He was amazing, but because he was on a large stage, he didn't really do too much CJ, because it would've been hard to see.

I'm really interested to see what you come up with as a combination of Poi and CJ, it sounds like it could be fantastic!

wow that would have been amazing, but as you explained, doing cj in front of a crowd of people is different, because they have to be basically in front of you to see it. and i am still learning, it is easy to use contact principles for coming out of throws and stuff, but i just cant seem to get body contact down with poi because they are inside of socks and that messes me up a lot. i will keep trying and let you know whats up and maybe post a contact poi vid sometime once i get pretty good.now the question of the day. would i have the balls to do this with fire?=p

Wow. You saw Moschen live? Unreal, that's so awesome.
Also there are some contact style moves with poi that i've seen.
