I've just ordered my 1st set of pois from this site, the reason i wanna start poi is bcoz i've gotten bored with my nunchakus n i wanna learn something new, also I want something to play around with at festivals such as glade!

They're so much more awkward than poi.... Look good when you're standing there in a Gi with a lovely shiney black belt one, but poi are the roxor Smile

Yea your right Psychotic Neurotic poi looks so much better also there is so much more you can do with it.

daedra you should try nunchakus its not that hard and the training nunchakus r quite cheap. To learn all i did was watch vids from youtube, there r loads of helpfull vids on there n it wont take you longer than a month to get good at it.

By the way does any1 know of any good sites or DVD for learning poi? i should get mine 2morro, cant wait!

yeh man the tuition on this site is mega www.domorepoi.com is alreet as well and homeofpoi.com all got good tuition but the best way to learn is off other ppl like u did with ur nunchakus. its unbelievable what you can do with poi and everyone has there own style like some ppl may love playing with flower patterns or some ppl mite focus on weaves n all that jazz. but yeh u'll have a buzz spinning. headstand
