Trans hon here
Traveling juggler here.
I travel the country homeless and I've realized I want to start a fighting style with juggling clubs. It's literally the thing making me money and protects me for people. Also it's the one weapon nobody gives me a hassle for holding.
Anyway...idk anything abiyt weapons. The clubs i have now are like three wiffle ball bats. How do i turn this thing into a violent ass kicking machine?
Also how can i learn to use it as a fighting style
ehhhhhh just fuckin whack em
How do I learn how to whack better?
/asp/ keeps banning juggling threads.
How big is the juggling community? I learned how to juggle tennis balls a few months ago
Virtually dead
It's hard finding any sort of community anywhere besides IJA and even that's scattered
you could probably use traditional martial arts that use clubs to whack better
But this is like the weapon of my PEOPLE...it's tradition
However much your juggling clubs weigh, find a similarly-balanced object that weighs twice as much and practice swinging it. If you can find something, hit a solid target so you can get used to the feeling of impact. Remember that clubs/maces are best used in continuous motion due to their balance, as it's hard to control them if you try stopping the movement mid-swing. Other than that, they're pretty much one of the most basic weapons ever, but you can look up some more info in medieval weapons manuals. Look for ones on staves, most of that will be applicable.

Sorry im sounding so dumb i appreciate you
Cringe
Any other books on it?
this shit is so random yet
knows whats up
I have a friend who's hardcore into medieval combat, swordfighting and all that crap. I know he has some reprints of old fighting manuals from medieval through Renaissance times and at least some of those show fighting with clubs. The artwork shows clubs looking very similar to the juggling style. I'd start googling for that kind of thing.
I appreciate it
You guys are pretty based
You got at least three clubs. Learn to toss one high enough to give you time to throw number two like a hatchet. Then you can catch first one coming down and step into two handed. Done correctly you can keep number three club in your off hand for defense the whole time. A good two handed technique is distract/attack. Throw jabs with the off hand at the same time as a solid club with the strong hand. The natural reaction is to focus on the first threat missing the second. Getting low and swing for knees and ankles till you are on top is bad too. Chop them down like wood, everyone's the same height on the floor and using the ground like an anvil is devastating to bone.
Holy fucking based
Extend the necks of your juggling bludgeons. At least on one of them. You'll be able to throw it farther or swing it with more force. You could even double hand it, and use it like a baseball bat.
Shit dude. Make this your gimmick. Dress in chainmail and get a shield. Then just carry juggling clubs. Talk in an olde english accent, read Shakespeare to the bitches, then club a few crackheads. Demand payment from all who see. Verily.
Based .it's gonna be my gimmicj
Yeah dude. Be a one man traveling Reneissance Fair...of death. Until you get famous, or shot.
fill the clubs with cement
>a one man traveling Reneissance Fair...of death
I'd only do it to defend myself.

>swiftly tossed club knocks his weapon hand off target and he misses
>charge in behind the throw and beat him down before he can get another shot off
>sing a jaunty tune as you stroll of down the lane, leaving the carnage of bruised and battered stoop-dwellers behind you
The thing is this is a possibility.
Considering like how much cameras are around
Some urban males going to want to kick the clown ya know?
So i wanna defend myself
>"GIBZ ME YO MONEY"
>"Nay."
The sight of a clown in chainmail carrying a shield with something lulzy written across it would probably be the best defense possible. Nobody fucks with clowns in general. But a battle clown?
As a juggler you can also justify poolballs/crystal balls (contact juggling), knives and fire in a basic bitch juggler bag.
I had a crackhead mess with me once calling me bozo the clown.
I juggled two balls with one hand and flipped him off with my free hand
Jesus.
Forget the clubs. Learn to spread terror with just your clown mask and a few teasing, horrifying words.

I know its already been said, but just fucking whack em with the clubs.
Yes of course
But how too maximize damage
Learn to use Escrima and go from there I would think. Basically the same thing, just a slightly different shape. Also if you want them to thump harder just get ones that are solid wood or have a metal rod in them or something.
