Forward swinging
Uploaded by HOP

Put the Poi in your hands and start swinging them in the direction shown. Take note that the palms of the hands are only facing down and forwards.


Tips/Hints:

If you swing with your palms facing each other the Poi will come in together and cross or tangle. So always keep you palms facing down and forward. Pretend to push air away from you as the Poi pass over your head.

Pince the end of your sock poi with your thumb and fore finger.

You could use rings but really pincing the ends of the sock will give you good control

Once you find a comfortable fitting for your handles [there are MANY different ways to do so, just find one that fits you] go and find yourself a nice big wall...stand parallel to the wall and spin with your hand by your hip. both directions. allow your poi to hit the wall, doing so will align then to a correct plane. once you get confident enough you should be almost flush against the wall...do this for some time with both hands, in both directions, facing the wall, away from the wall, in front of you, behind you, and all places you can think to place your arm when spinning. this will make you very comfortable with your poi and you will later be able to spin with ease in places many find difficult. i have been spinning for some time now, and i've done this training exorcise recently, and it dramatically helped my spinning.

Good luck, and happy spinning. ! xXx
