Poi Wondering
Jun. 5th, 2006 11:38 pmI grabbed my poi again tonight, and with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
f00dave's help, have added two new moves to my repertoire:
1. Double-front kick change: while spinning both poi in forward "skip rope" motion, hit both balls simultaneously on a front kick.
I still have to find a way to get this to work on a back kick. I am getting a directional change, but it's wrapping around my knee instead of bouncing off my foot.
2. Air wrap: Balls spin clockwise in front of me, with separation between both arms. Let the balls wind around each other once. As soon as the chains make contact, do a quick jerk back, and an immediate push forward, and the balls will wind around themselves, then disentangle.
I still need to find the right transitional move after this. Maybe a horizontal waist wrap?
Up next: I want to figure out how to do "handcuffs" (double wrist wrap directional change). I can only do it one side at a time. The move has both poi wrapping simultaneously. I'm clunking the hell out of my hands figuring this one out. Yeowch.
