Feel Sudden Urge to Learn Ti Chi

Well .... POI is your door IN ... I am telling you SIR .... just try it.
Grab a pair of socks and two tennis balls .... and play for a day.

Exactly!! Thats the way to go Puffer!

My journey started off when I first did poi on the beach about 3 years ago... About halfway in I went completelely bonkers with the symmetry of the patterns created with Poi motion. Then came the part where I realised the only way get the perfect flow was through the leg movements! (Watch Yuta`s legs in the video) I was so ambitious! I remember doing poi to a 4 hour music track and realising I had been going for 2:15! It was hours and hours a day :)

This guy was my inspiration!

This led me to do a few shows on stages with fire too ;) Great stuff!

I first took interest in Pilates and had a Tai Chi book too, I used to do the Tai warmups and go on with the pilates. I have recently found the BEST thing to do for your is Yoga. I advise against the Tai Chi and say you pick up the yoga. For learning at home check "The New Book of YOGA"

Though I find the absolute best thing you can do in your day is to get a buzz and have a hot shower, followed by an 10 min - 1hr of Poi, then skip the yoga breathing excercises for playing the didgeridoo and get on with your Yoga!!

Do Poi for a year, you will see how its just the gateway art :D http://www.homeofpoi.com is the place to be for Poi!

By the way, how many Poi spinners do we have in the HS?
 
How about an appetizer?

:D

Poi was my ultimate gateway out of my times of hefty computer gaming and into the world of wonderful body arts...!
 
So I didn't have tennis balls =( but I had racquet balls =D
and I found socks I don't think I have worn in 10 years

getting the rhythm of it, been recording the entire time of course =P

I like the way his explaining it but his going ummmm way too much, lol

Its propably easier to keep the poi short at the beginning, but mine are up to my shoulder..

I had an awesome time getting stoned and sewing a pair of Poi :D There are lots of instructions for that sort of stuff

Oh and NollingRolling, I`d say most of my ideas are drug induced, makes them the best! :D
