Hello there!!!
Im well new to this, but from what little i know and have seen i can truely appreciate the sense of well being that you all must experience in swinging those circular objects (balls etc), i just wondered if like my self any one was planning to use these ball swingings as a sort of medidation technique so to speak., seriously though i can see the sort of mental effects it may have on your inner being.
Anyways my other point was of a more practical nature!....has anyone used poi balls as a form of martial art.. i mean using some of those swinging moves to inflict a right old walloping to any would be attacker...(this is something defintely to be looked in to!)
AAAh but any way , ive got a dull old job to go to in the morning, and i must say night night for now.
SEE U

although I can see the idea's merit, I dont like the idea.
I like to think of this art as a way for me to relax. its my escape. I would hate to taint that
with a sence of violence.
but on the other hand...I was spinning RAV'N lights this one night, and Im all like 'these are
WAY to light to do anything' so I fix fishing lead weights to the end... you can see where this is going, I wound up w/ a big ol knot on the top of my head.

Do I know you???
nothing about the martial art other than sword play moves like poi/clubswing moves.
and of course stick martial arts.
but really into the movement meditation side or things.
contact juggling and contact staff ar the way for me. but sometimes with Poi. and I've watched Kato zone out with poi quite a lot
Would love to discuss.
Are you coming to clapham common poi in the park gathering on saturday?
say hello

Re martial arts with poi,
I remember the old sock and half brick.
