The Poi Game is easy to use and will bring hours and hours of fun, exercise and enjoyment and help develop your coordination as you practice performing all sorts of amazing tricks. Children and adults enjoy challenging each other to see who can perform the best maneuvers.
Getting Started
Hold your Pois just with your forefingers and keep them 15cm (6in) above the floor.
Basic Movement
Make your Pois spin forwards and backwards so that you can get used to their movements.
The Boxer
Make your Pois spin as quickly as possible, trying to imitate by these means a boxer's training.
The Bike
The movement is similar to the "Boxer", but your Pois should be spinning alternatively, as the pedals of a bike.
The Crossroads
By making your Pois spin parallel one to the other, cross your arms and keep them spinning parallel to each other. Perform several crossroads during your exercise.
The Whip
Try to make spin just one of your Pois from the left to the right, making it pass in front of you.
Double Whip
Similar to the "Whip" but performed with both hands simultaneously.
Hypnosis
Make your Pois spin in opposite directions, that is, against each other. By these means you will perform a perfect circle in front of you. Make sure that you keep both orbits slightly separated to avoid that they run into each other.
Twister
While performing the "Boxer" movement, start stretching your arms little by little and reduce gradually both velocity and stop, so that the Pois start rolling up around your arms. Once it is completely rolled up, perform a U-turn and increase velocity to unroll your Pois.
The Boleadoras
This movement is very similar to "Hypnosis" but it shall be performed upon your head. Make sure that you keep some distance between the orbits.
