Have you seen those people who swing a balls of fire on chains? They're doing poi.

Poi is a movement art from the Maori tribe of New Zealand. It is learned with soft, practice equipment.

The health benefits of Poi:
increases arm and shoulder strength and flexability
balances right and left upper body
improves standing and moving posture

I am available for private lessons and group workshops. If you are interested in another fire art, I can probably find you an instructor.

For details, message me here on tribe. Also, check out my profile for photos and videos of fire poi in action.

    I'm gathering up the supplies right now for a fire hoop........just sayin'.

    I know that I've been interested in poi for some years now...started to learn a few things from a Hawaiian friend back in high school....all those years ago. Even recently spun fire and didn't hurt myself one bit. Again...kinda just sayin'.
