The form of juggling was called Indian Clubs, which isn't like modern club juggling that everyone thinks of. It was a sport that involved taking 1 or 2 rather heavy bowling pin-like clubs and swinging them in elaborate patterns, much like the rythmic gymnists do today but there was little or no tossing of the clubs -- you had to keep hold of both of them at all times. At the extreme end of this sport, circus strongmen would swing weighted clubs weighing 30+ pounds in various patterns and challenge the audience to do the same. There are a few proponents left from what I have read, and I believe someone has recently published an instructional DVD. ------------------------ Yahoo!
