Poi

So I took up Poi the other day.  It’s pretty excellent, actually.  Originally it was a training method for men in the Maori tribes in New Zealand (for wrist strength and mobility, etc), which was adapted into a performance art for Maori women, and nowadays functions as it’s own sub-and-or-counter-culture in America and around the globe.  My poi are illuminated glow poi, so they’re awesome at night, and they won’t roast me when I hit myself with them.

Oh, yeah, did I mention that the most popular way of performing poi is

TO LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE?

Yeah, baby.  Anyway, this is my repertoire so far, performed with my brand-spankin’-new glow poi (my birthday gift from my father).
