POPSFire Poi Coreographed Duo. August 1st, 2006 As mentioned in my previous clip Best watched in HQ :-D http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/58451BDE-A090-4245-A849-0F6C3410297E/ Here are Fire Poi in action. A Maori tradition. Poi are so much fun but I suggest that you start off with the soft foam training ones and work up from there. although the only thing that holds you back with Poi is confidence to try. The Fire Poi are usually on chains or wire ended with a steel rod or ball similar to a flail, which is wrapped in Kevlar, dipped in liquid paraffin left to soak and lit. I think I will stick to training Poi for now though. lol

POPSPoi Spinning - Fun and a great way to keep fit.
I have a training (soft foam) set of these and even with those after about 10 mins start you to really "feel the burn" as it were. I think it originated in New Zealand but I'm not entirely sure. The exercise itself is more geared towards natural toning on the body and a slightly more physical workout on the arms but nothing too heavy on the muscle building side so it is ok for women to do if they are not looking to have bulging muscles. The more you practice the longer you are able to go for and there are some really fun and complex manoeuvres you can learn through some websites and DVD's but picking up the basics can be done in a matter of minutes After seeing this video I think I am going to have to get myself a pair of LED Poi now :-) as I always wanted to attempt the Fire Poi but... that is a big step when you are used to soft foam. The Fire Poi are on chains ended with a steel rod which is wrapped in Kevlar, which is then dipped in liquid paraffin left to soak and lit.

POPSList 5 Things That You Love About YOU! I really liked the sentiment of this and felt it was something to be shared. So if the mood takes you add your own 5 in the comments. Here are my 5 in no particular order. 1. I have a warped sense of humor. 2. My thirst and/or hunger for knowledge. 3. That I seem to have a calming effect on children and animals, even if I have no idea why... 4. I am a good communicator. 5. I have a sharp wit.
