Ok..here's a question which i havent found on anything yet. Does anyone know anyone who uses poi technique with long swords? Theoretically it has to work, at would probably look awsome, especially certain weave variations
im thinking of making up some wooden ones to practise with, and see how i go, will probably make wrist straps for safety etc.
Anyway..any views..tips..experiences?

Do you mean swords with chain attached to swing them around with? If so, this is usually the same effect gotten from fire ropes. Never heard of anyone actually attaching swords to chain though. If you just mean doing poi patterns with swords, then yes, people do this. Most doubles sword moves are similar to poi moves.

Good thing: safety straps
Bad thing: Decapitation

Strugz is a bit nifty with a couple of fireswords.
It's all in the wrists.
