Poi Lesson 5 - Three Beat Weave Turning

Three Beat Weave Turning

Lesson Type: Beginners

Prerequisites: Three beat weave (forwards and reverse)

Basic tutorial on how to turn while doing 3 beat weave. Most of the time, turning will come naturally, or with practice, but for this move I think it warrants the need to for a turning tutorial.

If you're still having trouble, post a video response and I'll help you out.

Enjoy,

I have a question for you: When I am doing the three beat, I start out going in reverse (because I'm weaker in reverse than in forward three beat), and I can turn and transition into forward beautifully, it's no problem. However, getting back into reverse is proving to be awkward and a little painful with the amount of times I've whacked myself in the head! Any suggestions?

[NathanielEverist]

@Nyiera The fact that you can do it from reverse to forwards shows me that there shouldn't be a problem with your skills, you just need to keep practicing. Remember to keep good planes and try to be aware of where your poi are at all times, that should help to not hit yourself. If you're still having trouble, just break it down one step at a time as shown in the video, good luck.
