DrexFactor Poi I want to thank you for the time and effort you put into teaching this amazing art! Thank you! It’s much appreciated!

@auroraborealis13579 4 года назад

I find upstalls difficult! I use sock poi which is a very soft and flexy material. I’m wondering if this thicker rope I see here would make it a bit easier? Any thoughts appreciated🙏🏼

I can watch this again and always be reminded of something key

@Luigi19V 2 года назад

Day one for me!!!!

@Kiyo83 5 лет назад

i have been fumbling around with weaves, fountains and butterflies for a year now. In just 5 minutes after practicing pendulums from this video, i feel like a freaking jedi. You sir have revolutionized teaching poi! Thank you so much for helping me overcome this plateau!

@crackedatlas3235 5 лет назад

This video is fantastic and exactly the way I wish I had been taught to approach learning poi. This vocabulary makes so much more sense when you start to approach timing and direction and building a tech foundation than learning the standard weaves and butterflies.

@g.sokolov6437 4 года назад

Man when I saw a course from you and it's free... I was sooooo happy. Thank you

@melody.anomaly 5 лет назад

Gosh, this is incredible! I’ve been casually spinning on and off for six years and kept stalling out on my progress learning intermediate or advanced tricks because my arms weren’t used to the movement. I’m finally back on a learning phase and so glad you posted this - anti-spin flowers seemed super difficult but this helps break it down so much, and it helps me see where it fits in with other tricks I’m struggling on. Thank you!!! 🙌🏽

@jonesy7939 4 года назад

very helpful! i am just getting back into spinning after a looonnnng break and realized i had some muscle memory to relearn (and some bad habits to break)

Hard part about S/S flowers is wrist flexibility and plane control on the arm going behind you. Might take a while to get them clean, but after a few months, I'm finally at step 5 of this guide!! Nailed antispin flowers in the living room while cooking food in the microwave yesterday 🙏

@alanrooney7111 4 года назад

Absolutely fantasic! Since going back and learning all of this, learning harder teck tricks has become so much easier. This video and heaps of your others have made lockdown here in australia fun. Thank you so much again my man. Sat night in the back yard my wife and i spin fire rather than sit in front of a TV thanks to you :)

@TheBoboSamurai 3 года назад

Gotta say Drex, awesome content! You've been a part of my poi spinning journey for years now, thank you. I'm getting back into the swing of things again and I'm feeling determined to master these techniques. Seeing the way you transitioned between pendulum, extension, and flower really helped me understand the progression and how it all fit together.

@devenloomis3240 Год назад

Thank you so much for everything you teach. Poi has become it's own form of meditation for me, and I'm really happy to get to experience so.ething like that.

@Fdaws19 2 года назад

My best friend got me into poi. Started learning and feeling it out on my own. Decided to try it out at a circuit party (and in public) for the first and it went well. A guy came up and asked to use my stuff for a while. I was very impressed and when I asked how he developed his skills/tricks, he told me about your channel. I'm very impressed by your presentation and look forward to learning more through you!!

@owtheedge1004 2 года назад

Yess!!! Ty!! I totally agree with you, when I was spinning I noticed it was limited (butterfly) so I had to teach myself how to slow the heck down and get fluid with the poi

Thank you for this. I've been spinning for years but anti-spin flowers have always existed on an island by themselves. This video helped me tie them into other movements.

@zanecook6292 4 года назад

Thanks brother! You lay it out nice for us noobs. Your lessons setup for strings of movement had a lotta forethought for us who only know like 3 tricks.

@JMartJr 5 лет назад

Thanks for this one -- I suspect it came at exactly the right time for me to move in into somethings that look and feel different from what I've learned so far. Something you have mentioned in past vids, but had no need to mention here, I'll point out for the benefit of those who missed it before. Note around 4:11, as the split-same extensions are being demonstrated, how Drex turns his whole body so that his shoulder is not flexing way back as the poi and his arm go behind him, avoiding the sort of shoulder extension that can make something pop in there. That's an important safety technique -- having popped a tendon in my shoulder (not poi related) and had the surgery and long recovery, I can testify that you don't want to bugger up your shoulder!

@Xnxthealien 5 лет назад

I watch your videos every single day, and it's essential to my routine now for practice. Namasté and thanks for your professional tutorials, sending love from a mom of 2 who has no social life 😂

@gerbusshminkle2097 5 лет назад

This is a great video, Drex! I started spinning by learning weaves, butterflies, etc, but I found that I needed the stuff of this video to really find the movement I was looking for. The following several months were focused on learning these exact tricks with the exception of pendulums- time to start learning those!

@DrexFactor 5 лет назад

You are not the only one, my friend ;) I remember after two years of nothing but weave and butterfly derivatives trying to get into flowers and finding how crazy awkward they were. You can still see in my early tech blogs just how difficult it was for me to move my poi from the shoulders rather than the hands. Hopefully this video helps some other folks avoid that fate!

@reidtrafton145 5 лет назад

the poi i have are pretty long, about the same length as my arms. can I do all these with longer poi?

@HalfGramDabs 4 года назад

if you still poi i started using contact on a 90mm lace. The contact helps for the extra ball meaning you can grib the lace with palm have the handle ball on the right side by the pink and use you thumb to point direction of the lace for easier wrist flick control

@HalfGramDabs 4 года назад

90mm is a good length but palm handling it helps with some trick where it could be easier with less length

Was wondering what video editing software you use for the echo effect

@DrexFactor 4 года назад

It's a combination of camera settings (shutter speed = frame rate) and the use of luma keying and the echo effect in Premiere Pro. I did a tutorial on the technique for this if you look up "ghost trails" on RU-vid!

The Poi dance is a traditional Maori dance , it has meaning and not meant to be made a joke of ... I was taught from when I was 8 years old , I am in my sixties now and can do both the single short and double long plus the four poi .. but I only do it to show people how passionate I am about my culture and in a Hapa Kaka group. NOT HAPPY

@justinwoolerton6168 2 года назад

How does drex make a joke of poi? Granted he doesn't use it to tell traditional stories of the Maori; however, he does bring the art form to a wider audience. Is it because he's not a kiwi? Mind you that flow and martial flow were developed in other parts of the world at different times. Do you get offended when you see non polynesian children playing with yoyos. I think you should look around home to see people spinning in a traditional manner, not to tell stories to their own but to make money off of tourists...now that's the real joke.

@itsus3925 3 года назад

Can you break down the tricks a little bit more? Your a good teacher but I feel like you aren’t really breaking the tricks down it feels more like your explaining why the trick exists not how to do it.

@TechnoL33T 5 лет назад

We should probably call them moves rather than tricks.

@DrexFactor 5 лет назад

There's a tendency to use the two terms interchangeably and I'm not aware of a specific rubric to point to the use of one term over the other nor what makes one more appropriate in context than another. Moves doesn't get used very often and it can be really hard to get spinners to change their vocabulary (I've been trying for years to get all turns with weaves referred to as "waistwraps" and a special case for the behind the back ones--needless to say I haven't met with a lot of success). Make me a case: why use moves rather than tricks?

@TechnoL33T 5 лет назад

@@DrexFactor A trick is a thing whores do for money. A move is just a move.
