*Beat (I'm guessing thats one full swing)
*TTN
*TTT
if anyone's got anything else they'd like to add to the list, please do, it'll help us newbies that dont use 'poi language'
It could be worse - we could all have normal jobs.
If nobodies perfect, then I'm nobody.

NS Butterfly = body, poi, arms
Spin, bounce, be one with the world, because it is yours to enjoy...

In Laymen's terms, make a hole, put something through it.
Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.
