4 or 5 beat weave/chase

humm until I just made a vid of myself I have always called this a 4 beat but I realize the error of my ways sorry to all who I have convinced to my way of thinking I was wrong

ps vid link on the way you will just have to ignore the incorrect title

as far as i was always concerned a 4 beat feels like going from 3 on one side to 5 on the other then3 on the other again, at least that i find produces 4 beats on each side...

5 beat weave (vid clip)

so This is a small vid of me doing the 5 beat weave. It’s a bit messy but you can see what I'm doing I hope it helps any one who is trying o learn it.

Notice each poi dose 5 beets 2 on one side 3 on the other.

beats of five you say

cool vid.

I'm still struggling to keep my 5bt weaves in perfect split time. the last beat on my right hand side normally pushes the poi into 1/4 time so I guess I just need more practice.

you want to play with offset 2 bt weaves more mr finalstep - they will help your timing issues no end

great video by the way mint sauce - i forsee it will be referred to many times...

hi im finger wasp pebbles. lol lol lol

im workin on the 5 beat weave, over the arm diablo and behind the back weave, tis not goin too good

btb foward and reverse five beat. ick.

mint sauce... your vid did it for me... i watched it a bunch (for about a week:) and now i can do it! ....

what worked for me: is copying the hand movements without the poi first.... and then adding the poi later ... it was sloppy and the poi twisted at first, but then i just got used to switching my hands back and forth like in your video... and then i read the h.o.p. directions again... and eventually it clicked


now i cant imagine trying it in reverse.....

when you do it in reverse... keep your hands next to your face so the poi ends won't hit you there. and be prepared to move your shoulders alot. I got the reverse 4 almost immediately. the reverse 6 came next. then the reverse 5. it took me about 2 months of beating the crap out of myself to get the reverse 5 beat weave.
