For the past 9 years he has expanded into Buugeng, a new Japanese s-shaped double staff that highlights the grace and flow of the curved line. This discovery has opened many doors for Jay to perform in large festivals and collaborate with a diverse panel of artists inside the International Juggling industry. Jay Firecat has become recognized as an international performer and teacher and has performed and provided training around the world in more than 35 countries and on 5 continents.
