Tao of Jeet Kune Do

Although this book is about martial arts, most of its philosophy can be applied to juggling. I first read it in my twenties, and its teachings greatly influenced my juggling practice. I now regularly refer to it for inspiration. One of my favorite quotes from this book is: “The first step to healing is to accept that you are wounded.”

The Foot Fix

This is an amazing short read on how your feet work and a step-by-step program to get your feet moving more freely and efficiently. For years, I have applied some of these exercises to my daily juggling practice. I highly recommend this read in order to bring more awareness to the foundation of your juggling and, dare I say, your life.

Naboso

These products are designed by Dr. Emily Splichal for foot health. As a juggler, I spend most of my life standing up. Being solid and stable on my feet is the foundation of my entire body biomechanics. I use the Kinesis Board to better my balance and endurance, the Standing Mat to challenge my nervous system when juggling, and the Neuro Ball to relax and recover. I also highly recommend her book Barefoot Strong. Use code GRAVITY10 to send a 10% commission my way.

Vibram

My preference is to practice juggling barefoot. But it is not always possible, and whenever I need to wear shoes when juggling, I use Vibram Five Finger. These are toe shoes with a very slim sole that allows the foot to stay in its natural posture and in contact with the ground. Now that I found these, I only wear Vibram, no matter what I do.

Theraband

Theraband is an elastic band that I use to warm up and prehab (instead of rehab) my body for juggling. I have been using these for decades, and I swear by it. I highly recommend using this tool to avoid injuries and gently strengthen your body.

incrediwear

These products are designed by Dr. Jackson Corley for active recovery. I use their elbow and knee sleeves regularly to help my recovery. I also sometimes juggle with the sleeves if I need to support my articulations. These products are the best I could find in this category.

SUPERJUGGLER

I recommend these juggling props, especially for beginners wanting to play with clubs and rings. Scott has a line of foamy props that will help you build confidence in your juggling while avoiding getting hurt. I like these props because they have a good balance for foamy beginner props.

Books

Through juggling practice, I have been educating myself about the body, the mind, and the soul. Reading various books has also helped me in my journey of self-discovery. Here is my Amazon list of books I recommend.

Music

I grew up in a musician family, and music is at the core of everything I do. My character Maurice La Pierre created some playlists for his fans. You can follow his musical adventures on Apple Music.
