First of many poi tutorials, showing the 4 basic ways to do a float.

Getting Stalls Started

stall exersice by Nick.

You need make "Stall Line" clear to make stall clean. Nick shows that you can use wall for clean the line. You can use any wall such as Berlin wall.

PARTNERPOI THREAD THE NEEDLE to THREE BEAT WEAVE Cycle

The following cycle, which we also refer to as the machine, involves thread the needle and the three beat weave in two different directions. Concentrate on the stalling arm (in this case the right-hand arm) and don’t despair if the upward thread the needle feels a bit awkward to start with.

Variations of Exit from Stall

1. Spin backward where it comes from (0
2. Spin forward (180
3. Change plane and spin forward (90
3. Change plane and spin backward (270
5. Swich position 180 on Z axis, then you have 1 - 4 ways out.

16 stalls Poi Charity Lesson

Basic stalls which are classified as 16 variation.

There are more than 16 stalls in poi spinning, but if you get these basic16s, you'll be more free when you spin poi.

Basic 8 Stalls

Make square around body with stall

Anti-spin 8 Stalls

Make stall from Anti-spin. This stall can make center cross-line.

Alien Jon's workshop note video. good inspirations for intermediate - advanced poi spinners.

Continuous turning stalls

Poi lesson about Continuous turning stalls

Behind The Head Stalls

Poiboy Poi lesson on Behind the head stalls.

Hybrid

Extention circle vs Isolation hybrid. This is one of unit-cirlce hybrid.

Isolation

The center of rotation is in the middle of Poi String. If you keep both of the center, poi becomes like a stick.

It takes at least a month to get isolation.

Basic 8 stall

Basic idea of stalls.

Tips for Stall

Try to draw curve like inverse proportion graph.

Pendulum Stall

The stall from pendullum. This is good practice for stalls, and you can even use this stall for your performance.

1. Make pendullum with poi
2. When poi head comes to top, your hand moves to top of poi head.
3. Try to isolate poi head when your hand moves.
4. If your poi doesn't stop, follow poi with body to keep the line straight.

8 antispin linear isolation

Basic 8 linear isolation.

There are so many ways to do "Linear Isolation" but I show one of basic ideas of them for this lesson.

*Linear Isolation on the cross in a plane.
*Handle linear Isolation.
*From 4 petals antispoin flower.

You can make C.A.P combinations with this basic linear isolation. C.A.P.( L )
For this conditon, there are 8 variations which you should practice.

Forward ( Direction A )

1. Top to Bottom linear isolation.
2. Right to Left linear isolation.
3. Bottom to Top linear isolation.
4. Left to Right linear isolation.

Backward ( Direction B )

1. Top to Bottom linear isolation.
2. Right to Left linear isolation.
3. Bottom to Top linear isolation.
4. Left to Right linear isolation.

※Try them on side plane, wall plane, horizontal plane.

Let's see Clockwise, rightside hipmill this lesson.
You can call this move "forward hip mill". Because if you twist your body to right side, it'll be forward spin on the side plane.

Cat Eye

meeow! meeow! This is very tricky cat.
