Hi there all.
I wonder if y'all can help me... (sorry if this gets asked loads)
I can do a fair amount of moves, but i am so bad at linking them.
also, i haven't really learnt or practiced any wraps (bit of a newbie) but i want to do fire so i'm a bit hesitant about using wraps 0.o

are there any tips you can give?
i have only learnt moves by watching others and the free clips on websites,
are there any DVDs that can be recommended to learn new moves and improve fluency?

thanks smile

Try reading the articles section, and the moves section.

They'll help you out.

If you are hesitant about wraps while your spinning fire then you may want to try stalls (stop the spin without any contact and then reverse the spin) alternativly wear a sturdy pair of jeans and do leg wraps.

May my balls of fire set your balls on fire devil

I wear a hoodie and do wraps round my arms, wrists legs etc all the time any fairly non flammable top with arms will do. Does get covered in black marks though.

Nick has a video called 'secret of flowers' on youtube where he give a very good demonstration. Wraps are good to use for transitions but it still take some practice to get it right. I usually let the poi wrap 1-1,5 revolution around my wrist to get a smooth transition.
