if you make videos of moves and call them names. People start to use those names. It makes you feel special....

yes, these are the moves that started the "secret" snakes BS argument a few years ago. snakes is the best name and if you don't agree i'll spank you with a hot dog. cause they look like snakes crawling around your body and the old sticks move-is just retarded to call it something specific- when it's just an isolating arm motion that just looks more like a snake or mantis style shaolin kung fu arm lock-and then apply it to poi.
but that's just what i'll call them in my class. (snakes)

but anyways, how about we avoid all the confusion and call them "contact wrap throws?" or something?
(gags at the hop language mucky water yet again)

LMFAO a hot dog!?! Im tempted to disagree Paleezze

I love the feel, like the flow of your arm, the amount of force you have to use with the rotation on your arm, because too much strength and it will fly off and not enough strength and it will drag or stall. The actual body motion and what it teach's you, to me it feels like sticky hands, lop sau. Guess you can say that about alot of poi moves but it seems more so with these moves, just alot of energy being focused and dispersed, and the amout of skill it requires.

Anyone else get that or am i freakin
