8-Ring Manipulation
I recently purchased a set of 8-rings (so named because they are shaped like figure-8's, not because there are actually 8 separate rings), and I have found them to be incredibly enjoyable. Manipulating them is like a mix of double staff, contact juggling, hoop, and buugeng.
My left hand is still a bit wonky, and I don't have a "vocabulary" of moves in my head yet to string together smooth "sentences" of movement. Next is to work on developing choreography so I can start to form "sentences."
