Forums > Introductions > Sup, I'm a nooby Irish spinner sayin hi!

Hey!

I'm Ken and I'm from Ireland. I used poi a few years ago but I never persued them at the time. I have been practicing the martial art taught by the Bujinkan Dojo, called Budo Taijutsu. Through Taijutsu I learned how to fight with a 5 foot staff.



Just through friends I discovered a juggling and spinning club and I since have had a 5 foot staff made and I've been busking in the city and I'm hooked. I've been spinning poi for around 2 weeks and I can perform a 3 beat weave comfortably forwards and kinda rusty backwards but any of the guys who were into staffs kinda turned their heads. I dunno, I was very amused to be a total noob to spinning and having people compliment me on moves and ask how they're done !



If anyone here is from Ireland or around the UK and would like to get in contact feel free to pm me, I don't bite (well I'm working on it!)



Anywho,

All the best, take it easy,

Ken...

Hello. Ireland is heaving with lovely and talented spinners (well maybe about 10). But i don't think customs controls are strong enough as several of them keep turning up over here....

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
