Poi Lesson 44 - Elbow Through Wraps

[Catalyst8D]

No hard feelings but it seems like you just came out of a salsa dance instruction lol ( :

[gotoluvit]

i do a lot of wraps and i use short poi to make wraps around my neck faster

[chambofox]

hey thank for yours videos i learn a lot

[firestonemagic]

pdp- imagine trying to do poi when you're 4'9 (full grown) and 10"chain. Some tricks will come easier to you then others and still, some people can rotate their wrists ( wrist movement) as if twirling comes naturally to them. You see this in martial arts as well, but even to those of us with this natural rythym we still practice=)

[prestonskater219]

your attention to detail is what i've been look for

your tutorials are great

thanks

[pdp1609]

your poi seem unusually long

for me to do this i have to like move my arm fast as hell lol

[NathanielEverist]

Yeah, they are in this video. That's because the longer the poi the more time you have to more your body with through-wraps, otherwise yeah, you have to really move your arms fast. Try it with really long poi and you'll see you don't have to move so quickly.

[18mofako]

what kind of poi do you recommend? i have some poi that I ordered online, i like them but they are the kind that stretch so sometimes i find it a bit hard to do things because they stretch. Should i try to find diff poi or what do you think?

[NathanielEverist]

I totally think you should so long as you can afford it. I've got many sets of poi, and it's only through experimenting that you can find what kind of poi you like and suit your spinning style, as everybody's different. I personally prefer really long, really heavy poi that are stretchy, so socks like the ones seen in this video are perfect for me. But yeah, if it doesn't feel right for you, keep looking. I actually have different sets that I prefer for different things...

[NathanielEverist]

I have a set for throws, a set for stalls and planes, a set for isolations and through wraps, and they're just my practice poi, I've got different sets for different effects with fire, and different sets for different effects for daytime spinning. If you don't want to fork out the cash, I recommend trying other people's poi, I'm sure they won't mind. Or, just buy different lengths and types of socks and differently weighted balls and see what combo works best.

I can't bring my self to bring it behind my back when I'm doing it forwards.

I can do it fine going backwards but I can't get it to unwrap when I try to bring it back while going forwards. What am I doing wrong?

[NathanielEverist]

I'm afraid I don't fully understand what you're describing, could you be more specific, or better yet, make a quick video of yourself doing it so I can see what you mean?

[jitpunkia]

very fancy

[godsend420]

kewlness im a noob at poi and trying to practice up i got a huge rave in august so im trying to learn new stuff all i can seem to do is fig 8 and all that other easy shit ty and 5*

[shmoofoobean44]

thats a good thing to do when your not doing anything fancy, and you can even make it look fancy!

3:10 "paching" haha i say that ALL the time when i'm doing poi things the first time. :)

[NathanielEverist]

Yeah, they're a sick move, and they're not done enough. I've really been playing with through wraps recently, I'll upload a video soon so you can see.

[leorlitocamachoang]

... this is very helpful...keep it going...

[loveandbullets07]

this is pretty cool and bet it looks great with fire. do u have any tutorials for personal moves you've invented/variated?

[NathanielEverist]

I don't think I've made any tutorials, but there are certain variations that I feel I've come up with (although I'm sure others have done them before I have, I came up with them independently.

[superiorsantateresa]

Dude, I didn't knew that wrap movements variations. Thank u very much! ^^

[NathanielEverist]

No problem dude, hope you enjoy it.
