THE WJF TRAINING CENTER
Since 2004, Jason Garfield (Founder of the World Juggling Federation) has trained select jugglers that have shown potential but did not have proper training structure or ideal technique. The most famous of which are Olga & Vova Galchenko.
Outside of the WJF Training camps and WJF convention workshops and master classes, Jason Garfield is now taking on several high potential sport jugglers via one on one zoom sessions. This page will serve to not only document those jugglers who have reached a high enough potential to attract the attention of the World Juggling Federation, but also to chronicle their progress over their sport juggling career as their skills improve through online training sessions. This page will also serve as the most valuable library of free juggling training tools. Full minimally edited training sessions will be posted here and organized by which tricks, moves, connections, and additional skills are covered in each session. Soon we will live stream our training sessions as well.
Check the schedule for live training sessions you can view via live stream on our Youtube channel.
In an effort to increase the potential of the next generation of sport jugglers, we will be posting training videos on this page that will show to practice your juggling for perfection. These are not tutorials. These are one on one training videos that show improvement in real time when the principles of WJF judging criteria are applied to training.
Most Common Issues
1. Weight Distribution - always keep your weight balanced on both feet
2. Centered Patterns - head in the middle, objects cross through the middle of the body and travel equidistant to both sides
3. Engage Your Core for Stability
4. Minimal repositioning distance from catch to throw
