Summary

This is The famous poi movement, the 3 Beat Weave!
When we call "Weave", it's usually about the 3 Beat Weave.

It's called the 3 Beat Weave because the poi spins 3 times on each sides.

You might think it's too difficult and almost impossible to do this, but once you've got it, you can do it without thinking.
The moment you've accompolished the 3 Beat Weave might be one of the most rewarding moments in the long poi life that might be lying ahead.

How to

Step 1 Rhytm Practice with One Hand

Practice with one poi and memorize the rhythm.
Cross, cross, return, cross, cross, return, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, twice at the crossed position, once after returned and three times all together so this is the 3 beat.
As you get used to the movement, stick out one art to practice and do the upper, lower, return movements until you can do it smoothly.
It might take some time, so it's might be good to pause the video and practice.
Of course practice the same movement on the other arm as well.

Step 2 Getting Into 3 Beat weave

By connecting the previous movements, you'll do the 3 Beat Weave.
First, hold the poi with both hands and do the 2 Beat Weave.
If you notice the hand that comes over the other, it's spinning like this, upper, return, upper, return.
Add the lower between the upper and the return movement.
Then it becomes the switched 2 Beat Weave and the arm position will be switched.
After you can switch the arms, continue to do this.
Layer one arm on the other and keep on spinning.
And Yes! this is the 3 Beat Weave.

Tips

If you cannot do the 3 Beat Weave well, watch the video for a while.
Memorize the model visually on your mind. Having an image is very important with the poi.
Once you got lost, continue to watch the video for over and over.
