Battle poi moves

Poi emulate double 9section whip FYI.

i think if there wer somthign like battle poi it would be more of a defensive type of fighting you know seen as the poi would suround you

most of my "battle moves" come out of isolations or weaves, they generally seem to be a blend of techniques at the same time, it's really hard for me to explain without having the poi in my hand to show you, the main pattern I've noticed is that I use my elbows and forearms only for range your wrist and shoulders seem to generate the power of the strike and they usually stall shortly after the follow through, it helps to reduce recoil time. It's almost identical to nun-chuku really, the hand leads while the weapon follows until the follow through then it changes for the stall. This isn't a great explanation for you but like I said I'd be better at demonstrating them than explaining them, sorry if it makes no sense to you.

this is a silly topic but I will contribute to help out Salem.

Salem, I agree with Mucky. If you want to learn "Attack Moves" I suggest looking into rope dart. it is an ancient Chinese weapon which is 6m of rope with a weight on the end. It works by making various wraps around your body which you loosen quickly to "shoot" the dart at your opponent.

It is taught as part of the ancient chinese art of Wu Shu and is the most difficult of all the weapons to master.

BUT! while it takes decades to master for use as a weapon (accuracy being very difficult to obtain) that does not mean you cannot learn to use it for similar motives to poi. It has similarities to poi and i find it really opens up a different adaptation and style of movement with your poi.

See here fore a traditional rope dart master using his incredible weapon in competition:
