Like fire?

Recommended Posts

Hooked up with a few friends last week in FL and it turns out that one of my friends picked up fire poi a few years ago. so we went to the beach at night and had some fun. I got some really cool pics and thought i'd share. Has anyone else done this before?

Where is my fizzy-lifting drink?

Poi" is the Maori word for "ball" on a cord

The Poi was used, many years ago, by the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand to increase their flexibility and strength in their hands and arms as well as improving coordination.

Wahine (female) dancers perform the Maori Poi, a dance performed with balls attached to flax strings, swung rhythmically. Those pictured to the right are using short Poi.

The Poi dance was originally used by the Maori women for keeping their hands flexible for weaving and by the men for strength and coordination required during battle. Poi are also used as a training aid for other ancient weapons like the Mere or Patu (Short club)

A woman at the studio I go to teaches it. I still don't have much interest in doing it, but it does look pretty cool. Her fire hooping is pretty cool, too.
There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

You should see Amy Chemlecki with the fire hoop and eating fire too.;)

Buried: Fireflytx on this site does quite a bit of spinning poi, eating fire, breathing fire, etc. She has gone to a couple boogies and put on shows. More to come this year i hope.B|

very cool. I could watch people doing this all night long. It's even better when women do it since they tend to be more graceful.


there's something i like about combining women and fire :)B|



No kidding, here, this is what i get to play with.:P:):D
