Welcome to the world of Poi book
by Klaus Scheuermann

 

This book is not based on the English "normal" or Maori way of teaching poi. Klaus has developed a more difficult way of learning poi by using a new graphical means similar to musical notes. However Klaus believes this new way of teaching opens the doors to more possibilities with Rhythmic movements comparable to a musical instrument.

The Meteor Book
by Rhys Thomas

Construction, Manipulation, and Performance: Step-by-step instructions in the ancient art of Chinese Meteor swinging. The idea is to hold the middle of a 2-meter cable, on each end of which are balls of roaring fire, and whirl this about yourself to create a spectacular display of skill and danger. Less dangerous but equally interesting forms are also explored. The meteor combines the elements of club swinging, poi, and staff twirling in a new and versatile art form. Every trick is thoroughly described and illustrated. With a forward by Tim (Fyodor Karamazov) Furst, and an extensive fire-safety guide. Takes you from basic definitions through Follow-circles, the Fountain, Helicopters, Windmills, Poi-Balls, and one-handed work. Combines the effects of club swinging, staff, baton, and poi-balls. Nothing else like it in print.

Specifications:

  • 60 pages
  • Comb-bound
  • illustrations
