Hello,
Just signed up today. I am a newbie at poi too only started learning last weekend at the Electric Picnic festival in Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois, Ireland (my avatar is a pic of me doing poi at the festival). It was a great festival and I think I am in love with poi. I am a pretty fast learner and I have learned loads of stuff from the tuition part of the site. I think I am a natural seeing as how I learned the butterfly properly last night then woke up this morning and automatically did angel wings. Also did a variation of the hip reels and shoulder reels...which is odd considering I only knew hip reels last night. Its great I love it loads, so I decided to join here and say hi and chat to others who love poi.
Peace and happiness.

You are all so welcoming its cool. I am sure I will eventually come up with some annoying questions but for the moment I am pottering my way through online tutorials. Its amazing watching your muscle memory develop in the past half hour I have moved from the forward 3- 5 beat weave to a reverse version....yesterday I couldnt cross my arms with the poi spinning backwards without hitting myself in the ass.. . I even figured out the turn from forward weave to backward weave. Its coool!!
The next one I wanna learn is the windmill...only thing is I can see myself losing teeth learning that one. Considering the damage I nearly did to my baby makers learning the forward weave.
Yeah the name is a bit sac religious I know...my nick name is Jay...and I am Irish...loads of people say Jaysus here so I thought it would be a cool name. I am so glad it was available...I use it all the time.
Anyway thanks for the welcome.
Peace and happiness to you all.
Jay (James) (Jaysus)...etc |
