Forward 3 beat weave
Uploaded by Derek_Faughn
Start learning this by starting with only one Poi. Hold the empty arm out in front of you.
Start swinging the Poi in a forward rotation. Then swing the Poi across your body and over your other arm for one rotation.
Then another rotation, spinning the Poi still crossing your body but this time swing under the other arm
Then swing the Poi uncrossing the body out to it's original side.
This is a three beat move. Swing one rotation "Over", "Under" then "Out", "Over", "Under", "Out" ..etc over and over again.
Practice this move with both your left hand and right hand.
When you feel comfortable with this. Pick up both Poi and begin swinging them staggered (180deg) in the forward swing.
Then swing left Poi "left over" the right arm crossing the body
The very next beat swing the left Poi "left under" the right arm and at the same time begin swinging the right Poi "right over" the left Poi crossing the body.
Next beat swing left Poi "left out" as the right Poi stays crossing the body and swings under "right under" the left
Continue doing "Over", "Under" then "Out" with both arms. Remember one arm is one beat behind the other.

Try shortening your poi and going through the movements of the over-under-out, gradually releasing the length a little.
It does take time for you brain to learn to coordinate it
- its also true that its harder if you overanalyse, so try and just let it go.
If you've ever done any kind of staff work, you'll probably find this easier also. =)

Yeah baby. Took me a whole afternoon, and I had to look up a very helpful video on YouTube to really get it, but I can do this now!
