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!
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
When i first got into poi three weeks ago, my friend told me to look your channel up. Im so glad i did because your videos have taught me a lot. Thank you.
Day one for me!!!!
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!
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 🙏
Thank you so much. You make poi make sense to me lol. I gave up on poi a decade ago because I never found anybody who could actually explain it well.
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.
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!!! 🙌🏽
I feel like this video has summed up all poi tricks at once!
Man when I saw a course from you and it's free... I was sooooo happy. Thank you
Drex, Good lord, Just coming back to these foundations have re awakened infinity ideas. Love your videos! 10/10
5 > pendulums
4 > extensions
3 > inspin flowers
2 > up stalls
1 > antispin flowers
;)
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.
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
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 :)
It's my first day with poi (I've just already did mine :D) and I found your video and get lessons from subscription. I'm lucky girl :D Thank you!
This is one of my favorite videos yet! Thanks so much Drexter!
Dog and cats living together, Mass Hysteria!! That made me laugh harder than it should have! 😂
I actually had dogs and cats living together. He's right it was mass hysteria
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)
Same
I been so stuck on the usual first moves, this video really helpful to bring some new easy to learn moves in
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!!
Thank you Drex! Your videos make it so easy to learn!
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.
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.
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.
Amazing video Drex! This will help me a lot with my arm control and advancing further with poi, thank you!
I really like this advice. Thank you Drex!
I learnt on my own and I just started following this channel and I found your content easy to understand and very helpful. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Great idea, I think this is a much more useful foundation than 3 beat weave and... backwards 3 beat
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!
Uggggh you are so helpful. Bless you good boy. 🥰
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!
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!
thank you. so interesting and helpful, very clear
I appreciate you! Much love xx
I think these beginner tricks are way more beneficial. I can't wait to try them out myself
great video, thanks so much! these are very helpful and you make it seem so simple, haven't tried it yet but I'm inspired.
Great video bro i learned a long time ago the weaves and yes as u said its harder
I'm glad you added this video, now I got to get to work on these!
I'm glad you got something out of this video! And be sure to tag me if you post any of that work to Instagram! I'd love to see how it's going for you. :)
@@DrexFactor I don't have any social media except for youtube, but I'll be sure sure to mention you in my next video, mostly family sees my stuff; my top video has 6 views.... hahaha but hey I have a great time practicing poi, it's a stress reliever and drug free medication! 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 😂
Thanks Drex!!
This was amazing!!!
Just got my first poi set today!!! So excited to give it a try with these tips tomorrow. Already hit myself too many times today without watching this 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll try this tutorial first. Thx wish me luck
Thanks!
Really nice Thing if it is raining
i am way old school,but i am going to give you a shot cause i like your teaching style. Po--- (Poi with the i stalled to create a " o--- ")
Thank you!
You are the best! - So helpful! Thank you :-)
thank you for this
Thank you so much for these videos! I am a beginner still working out the tricks and ways of poi. With these videos I get better every day! 🌠🌠🌠
Take some vid if your self and track your progress 😉 at least for your own viewing you don't have to make it public 😁
You're so welcome! :) I'm so glad you've got poi in your world and I'm glad the resources I create are helping you on that journey.
this is SO good
JUSTO LO QUE NECESITABA
💗💗Heck yeah I love it "a different approach" 💗💗
It's taken a few years for this approach to marinate in my brain but I like the potential for where it can go :)
Thanks
Me encanta tu canal no m pierdo un vídeo saludos desde ciudad de México
thank u 🙏
I started doing poi 2 weeks ago, and your videos really helped me improve a ton, thanks drex! :]
Hello! Perfekt, thank you! Where can I buy these pois?
Best ❤
i love your videos
I would love actually if you linked to a video where you did one move exclusively for like 30 seconds or a minute - that way we could play it on loop!
😍😁🥰🤗❤️☀️🙏🏻 Thank You!!!! 😇
It helps me to do a fire dance.
What length of tether should I use to begin with and also what weight are most poi?
What length poi would you recommend for a beginner? I have just started and am feeling as though my strings may be too long
What is the best poi design for a beginner? I once had some tail poi but never managed to get the rhythm. I want to take up poi again but want the most effective.
I have flag poi and I don't know if the same rules of motion apply to to the different types of poi ? I know the basics but I just have a difficult time learning new things because I don't have a simple ball poi to learn the movements with. Is there a difference? I been trying to find flag poi tutorials but only see the scarf poi I have triangle flags with weights in them.
Hi I want to learn poi and have no idea which poi to buy.. Any suggestions for a beginner?
Thanks a lot, I started poi-ing 3 - 5 years ago and I still kinda suck
Thanks for thetips! You look a lot better with facial hair by the way! 😊
Was wondering what video editing software you use for the echo effect
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 UA-cam!
What's the weight of your bollas ? Thanks for your videos
the poi i have are pretty long, about the same length as my arms. can I do all these with longer poi?
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
90mm is a good length but palm handling it helps with some trick where it could be easier with less length
The flowers
I started 1 week ago
Can you recommend me some poi for beginner?
This is so difficult
😳🤯
İ need a channel Like this for dragon staff
what does poi as an extension of your body pun intended mean?
The tricks in that segment he was demonstrating were called “extensions”
So morri balls from New Zealand native dance or weapon
I was expecting a cute destroyer but ok
Global poi rave????? ❤️🌍❤️🌏❤️🌎❤️
he does hella acid
as opposed to showing this facing the camera you need to show this facing away from the camera - this is impossible to copy so the videos are useless
Yes you are so right needs to be from behind. The same is said in the dance games on xbox. They need to turn around
You guys have seen mirrors right?
We should probably call them moves rather than tricks.
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?
@@DrexFactor A trick is a thing whores do for money. A move is just a move.
@@TechnoL33T wtf dude thats so rude jezuz
@@Amywayho So you see why I bring this up?
@@TechnoL33T no i think youre just being an obnoxious fedora with legs
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.
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
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.
Tautoko
10min talking 1min showing poi
This is too fast for a beginner, I get nothing 🙈
