#Jugger #Chain players from 5 countries show their favourite tricks and moves, to inspire your chain play. *In-game applications see below* (post your own!).
Some of these will improve your agility and chain control, others have proven very useful in actual matches ... try for yourself! Uhu's Insta: instagram.com/uhu_on_jugger

This is not a tutorial, so a solid base of chain competence is important.


*Simba's in-game application examples:*
1) 6:46 "Kicking foot direction change"
Steffen from Zonenkinder is one of the only ones (afaik), who use this trick regularly on a very competitive scale. Some examples:
a) youtu.be/cvpjzrd_dn4?t=224 ;
b) youtu.be/cvpjzrd_dn4?t=650

2) 7:35 "Direction change hammer throw"
As far as i know Ippo from HawuAllstarZ uses it sometimes. Here are two examples:
a) a failed attempt against a pompfer youtu.be/r3oASWN2Wm0?t=385
b) a successful attempt against shield: youtu.be/r3oASWN2Wm0?t=1538 (on the far side of the pitch; HaWu AllstarZ are playing in blue/orange)

3) Honorable mention: chain-kick for an unsuspected attack after counting
youtu.be/MzKT5MHaThg?t=461 (on the far right side of the camera-angle)
