Just wondering do these tricks work with poi that have tails?? Everyone I've seen do them has sock poi (or similar) and I wondered do they still look good with like spiral poi?
should this be hurting my shoulder? :S i never learnt to do flowers and i jumped in straight to this video and went to see how i would cope... I haven't quite got the hang of spinning them split time while rotating the arms split time, is this an essential part of spinning poi flowers or is it just a particular variation and not a key principle? It would be nice to know.
@jluvsmetal Careful with your shoulders, it's easy to injure yourself jumping into these motions before you have the flexibility and muscle memory that comes from lots of practice. And definitely warm up before doing lots of full arm rotations like he does. I recommend practicing with arms only first - check out the 'Poi-fu' stuff on the Playpoi website.
ive been spinning poi for a couple of months now, and needless to say, i'm hooked. it's one of the best releases of energy outside of sex as far as im concerned. i know a ton of tricks at this point, but can't really move around as freely as i'd like to. this video should help immensely.
oh yeah, i recently bought my first set of fire cathedrals from home of poi, and i tacked on you're tutorial dvd if nothing more than a way to support you and what you do. thx!
Nick!! in the min. 3:31..when u explain to move poi forwards as ur arms go backward..and then you "like magic change" the poi movement as one poi go forward and another back..how you did this change??, I have problems when i try to change direction of pois i have to stop to spin one poi front while the other spin back..how you do this??

@rekkuzo87 i also were close to quitting because of all the hitting (heh that rhymes) but i tell you, don t give up, as soon as you straighten your planes and stop hitting yourself, a whole new world opens up for you. Poiplaying really brought some awesome quality into my life. so keep on trying. there are also a lot of great tut vids here, basically everything i learned i learned from theses vids, be patient, hit yourself a lot,... thtas the way to mastery, its inevitable
@jellybee68 - yeah same for me, was looking for long poi dance moves for my daughter to learn with her new poi and we see these - not expecting stuffed socks at all LOL
Blooming brilliant and so mind boggling, my arms are out of control, just cant seem to get the co-ordination, totally agree about the being free part, im so from 1 pattern to the other but then your so limited. This has let me see endless possibilities. Great tutorial but will need to watch it a zillion times i think.
you so fail. glowsticking is an entry level to poi. like when you buy a microphone and call yourself an emcee. glowsticking wraps and orbits= cakewalk. poi = artform. educate yourself brah.
great video... This vid really opened my eyes to possiblities for movement and transitions if you will. I've always felt very locked into patterns but this video made me see that getting a flow can be much easier than it seems... so thanks to the creators :) Excited to try some new tricks.

You make it look so easyyyyy! =/ lol damn thats annoying. I know i would knock myself out if i tried any of these moves haha thanks for these vids tho.. very helpful ! :)
@NoGumms88 I completely agree that there's nothing spiritual about poi, and I can't pretend I don't secretly roll my eyes at people that tell me it's a path to spiritual enlightenment.
I do love it, though. It's fun, can look great, and it isn't any more or less "productive" than most other hobbies.
You, my good man, are a MASTER! I love your videos and the inspiration they give me. I've been Glowstringing for a little while but I'm really getting in to the Poi style more and more. Your videos really keep me going. Thanks again!
You are just so awesome at this. You can always tell when some one has put there time into something. Your very talented. Im gonna get a starter kit and try. Thank you for posting this video and giving such great tips. I can't wait to start myself.
@SkeyeU Poi starter kit=2 tube socks+ 2 tenis balls. haha. thats what i used, started about 2 months ago and just got my first set of fire heads yesterday.
And to you nick, is there anything thats physically possible that you can't do with poi? lol, only thing i can think of is a fully isolated 3 beat weave, and even then your pretty close. Gotta say, you've helped me sooo much.
hahaha Poiticapate. I want more video's like this. this was awesome. Where do you buy the poi starter kits. And where did you get your poi kit? It looked awesome!
so i think i just busted my brain stem. Seriously i didn't realize all the potential in just learning flowers. I'm definitely gonna jump on those now.
Thats a really great tutorial. Damn, why does it always look so much easier than it is!! Hehe, I'm not completely useless when it comes to Poi but I do get a bit messed up with all these planes!!
Dude, I've been watching your tuts for about a year now and I went from just knowing beginner two beat weave to inverse flowers 5beat weaves behind the back, etc etc!!! I guess i just want to say thanks for teaching me how to poi!!!!
your lisp is so cute. plus i really wanna learn how to do this :) is there any video that you have that just teaches how to do a basic spin without them knocking.?
@wisconsinskater09 I found when I was learning my planes I was hitting myself in the balls more than anywhere else on my body... unless I was doing corkscrews, then it was my head -.-
I have a question what are u using i know that u use rice but what are the things u are swinging socks or something else cause im using long socks and hacky sacks can u msg me ack asap before it hits christmas and thanks for the help in the vids:)
THIS is the gateway to so much more for my poi practice!! I'm a dancer who recently started spinning poi and definitely a bit frustrated with the lack of flow I had... This opens up so many possibilities, and as you say, MOVEMENT! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this so very well, I'll be studying this video for weeks to come! <3
watch some of nick's, yutas, or nevisoul performance videos and you will see that there is productive quality in them and they are very creative. I recently started choreographing routines to songs and I would compare the choreography to composing a song or engaging in any creative endeavor for that matter. I ahve seen performances that are like works of art...at least to me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well lets see: I can appreciate the video production on this, and the general mellow attitude you all seem to have, but twisting around string or socks is not spiritual. Its visually appealing because its movement to noise, but so is dangling keys in front of an infant. You cant compare this to making music, because this isn't a creation of any productive quality. Its obvious to me, those involved with this are already spiritual people, or pose to be and use this poi as a hollow outlet
Some of us both play with poi and are musicians. This helps us realise that you're a snob, because they're both creative outlets and both very different. You're narrow-minded, that's all.
@NoGumms88 If that was an attempt at discrediting poi as a "productive venture" it wasn't a very good one. Just because you don't see the beauty or talent required in it doesn't make it any less prevalent.
@chaoticpyro13x Beauty and talent? Do you also like watching people spin rainbow colored umbrellas? I bet if I smoked a bowl I could find some meaning in that too... or is that not prevalent enough? Well, maybe it would be if you give a hippie a computer and a "Poi starter kit=2 tube socks+ 2 tenis balls" ---- hahaha. Like an infant with a mobile.
how is this a tutorial? thats just showing what he can do!?! just because I see someone juggle doesn't mean I can do it.Seems loke a lot of hoopla over 2 socks with tennis balls in them.
Well he shows you the techniques behind the flower patterns. He explains it all in the video, if you pay attention, you would hear it. He tells you how to spin it, he shows you movement and everything.... sooo basically, that's a tutorial.
Why is this hobbie/sport/thing happening!!!!???? Poi??? Is there not better things you can do with your time? Why does everyone look like they are at a rave? Its just weights on a string or sock! There's nothing spiritual about this... dang!
When you are actually aware of your body making it move in fluid ways IS a spiritual journey...the physical is the temple for the Soul...try it - you might like it!
Is playing piano just banging on strings? Come on, you can make fun of anything that somebody else likes. You could say that soccer is just chasing a ball around. Of course it's silly if you look at it that way. People like poi because it's like music in motion.
@meenik Perfectly put; I've been doing poi on and off for the past two years or so, and the rhythm of it (with out without music) is more relaxing than anything else I've ever done.
I find that whenever I'm stressed out, a short, slow poi session calms me right down.
Also; thanks for the in-depth and, clearly, well thought about tutorials; really giving me the confidence (not to mention the knowledge) to expand my poi-universe.
what kind of a hobby is watching videos on youtube and commenting negatively on other peoples hobbies? if you only knew how difficult it is to do what he does you might gain some respect. nick woolsey is amazing.
Just because you have no interest in it does not mean its not spiritual. Its a form of expressing yourself and it makes a lot of people very happy. maybe you should try it.
@NoGumms88 ya that person teaching definitely looks like he is at a rave. come on, grow up. its fun, good for you, and looks cool to most people. is their a reason not to do this?
@NoGumms88 keep your negtivity to yourself. who said anything about it being spiritual? and just so you know ..you know nothing about poi. its about dancing with fire. if you think its so easy then please do us all a favor and set your tennisballs on fire and give it a go..let us know how it turned out for you. burn mutha burn!
well if you go to walmart or any place like that you can get a pair of socks and two tenis balls and put the balls in the socks and use them thats what i did to start
google "MahaDevi Design" i don't know your gender but they have a bigger selection for females. "Phoenix Rising Designs" and click the 2nd google result link. and last "Buddhaful" all of these have some cool clothes, hope this helps :)
great lesson! i have been working on this for awhile, i can do compound circles on my right and left wallplanes but cannot hold a synchronization of petals for long.
in my opinion the answer is in the antispin thing, because its just this patterns you gotta know to hold the flow wherever your arms are, cause its all isolated, istn`t it?

Also; thanks for the in-depth and, clearly, well thought about tutorials; really giving me the confidence (not to mention the knowledge) to expand my poi-universe.
P.L.U.R - Peace, Love, Unity & Respect.

what kind of a hobby is watching videos on youtube and commenting negatively on other peoples hobbies? if you only knew how difficult it is to do what he does you might gain some respect. nick woolsey is amazing.

Just because you have no interest in it does not mean its not spiritual. Its a form of expressing yourself and it makes a lot of people very happy. maybe you should try it.

great lesson! i have been working on this for awhile, i can do compound circles on my right and left wallplanes but cannot hold a synchronization of petals for long.
Urajje 2 years ago
in my opinion the answer is in the antispin thing, because its just this patterns you gotta know to hold the flow wherever your arms are, cause its all isolated, istn`t it?

That's something i just have to train. Those flowerpatterns look stunning.
how long does it take to get the hang of them?
