Poi Lesson 34 & 48- 2 & 3 beat Behind the back weaves

2 & 3 beat Behind the back weaves

Lesson Type: Intermediate - Advanced

Alternative naming: BTB weave, 2bt or 3bt btbw.

Prerequisites: Introduction to waist wraps, three beat weave and full waist wraps helps.

Because I am disorganised, this lesson is 2 in 1. It discusses both 2 beat and 3 beat behind the back weaves, but as the two are so entwined, it didn't feel necessary to make two separate tutorials. So, if you want to learn the three beat, or two beat behind the back weaves, this is a great place to start. Pardon the sloppiness on the left hand one-handed btb turning, I would edit out mistakes to make me look awesome, but I'm only human, and I want people to see me for what I am.

Hope it helps, if you stick to this method, and keep trying, it should come pretty quickly, I've broken it down into simple bite-sized pieces for your learning pleasure.

All the same, if you've got any questions, or are having difficulties of any kind, please let me know and I'll do my best to help you out.

Cheers,

Nathaniel Everist

BAH! So After watching this, looking like a fool in my living room for a day and getting no where, I head over to my ex's house and I get reverse behind the back down in 5 minutes and continue spinning for 40 minutes playing with the weave things I know trying to integrate my new talent.

Now my trapezoids, triceps and upper body in general hurt >.>

[NathanielEverist]

@overnerd Nice work, it's funny how the brain continues to learn after you've stopped practising. Also, you're doing a really good thing in playing with it and integrating it into your other moves. A mistake many poi spinners (including myself when I was new to it) make, is to learn a move and then just move onto the next move. I'm still finding new ways even basic moves integrate into one another.

Can this be applied to glowstringing Considering the diffrence in weight between glowsticks and poi ?

[NathanielEverist]

@StealthyShizaku Definitely, the weight differences don't really make that much difference, except in stalls, isolations and wraps (which stringing is better for).

:L this is the first time I've seen switches from forward to reverse btb that wasnt me...

I was hoping I was the first to figure it out that badass move :/

[muristao]

I'm picking up a lot in the legs

[therealrastafarian]

any more tips you have for turning? i cant even seem to grasp the concept, is it the same way as turning a regular weave? i can turn the regular weave like its my job so i thought this concept would catch on quicker. any other tips would be awesome. thanks for the vids.

[dubstepdanny]

totally thought i was too fat/not flexible enough to learn this but i managed to learn 2 beat weaves tonight just fudgin around...given i look like a goofy bastard doing it considering to get em around me i gotta move about twice as much as a normal sized person but, that'll change with time...still just syked i managed that shit....
