Various Transitions Between Elements (with poi, not arms!)

Vojta — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 16:48:51 +0000

Translations between elements with poi – not arms! I’ve made videos focusing on how the transitions work with the arms, which just work for the arms (and the arm movement can be used while spinning poi, when doing inspins / antispins / extensions) but I’ve never dived into transitions with poi only.

There are various ways of changing an element with poi.. You have possibilities like stalls, pendulums, tosses, wraps or even avatar-like movement (which I’ll explain in another video). This video shows some variations with stalls, pendulums and wraps.

I’m currently editing a video about just the transitions with using stalls in details and how inspins and antispins allow you to change plane. Stay tuned for that!

s3ep8 – The First Antispin Flower

Vojta — Thu, 30 May 2024 11:18:00 +0000

This should be your first antispin flower – that means a trick with using antispin with both hands, creating a beautiful, compound circle pattern. This one is the easiest because both hands are doing the same thing, at the same time, but you need to be sure that you’ve practiced the air arm movement before, in this video.

s3ep5 – The Wall Plane Inspin Flower

Vojta — Sat, 25 May 2024 16:30:11 +0000

One of the most popular antispin moves, yet a tricky one! Split time, opposite direction (fire element) in wall plane.

s3ep7 – Start playing with the antispin

Vojta — Fri, 24 May 2024 12:43:11 +0000

After you’ve practiced the antispin with one hand only, it’s good to use it in the context of timing, before getting into some full-antispin trick. I recommend also getting back to this later on, as the more you progress with poi, the more comfortable this particular move will feel – and you’ll be able to use it in variations with other moves.

More body tracing with 4-petal Antispin

Vojta — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 17:10:16 +0000

Antispins aren’t only tricks with antispin motion – it’s also a tool to spice up your flow, and the essential element of body tracing. This video explores a few possibilities of body tracing with antispin, which should allow you to unlock new transitions and ways of expression.

The Avatar

Vojta — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 19:13:18 +0000

The Avatar – the move that combines all the elements! Or to be more specific, 4 elements with your arms and 2 with your poi. And, as you will see, it is also a useful way to learn how to change timing with your poi!

Transitions between the elements (with your arms)

Vojta — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 18:45:44 +0000

Learn how transitions between the elements with your arms work. This is a super helpful coordination exercise, and a necessary knowledge for unlocking more complicated patterns with antispins and inspins, which is for instance explored in this video.

Body Tracing vs. Antistpins: Triquotra vs. Neck Isolation

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 11:28:24 +0000

One of my favorite ways of combining an antispin with this neck isolation. This is certainly not an easy one – pay attention to what’s happening at the bottom of the antispin. Mind that the hands are in Air mode, poi in Water.

Triquotra fountain – Body Tracing vs. Antispins

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 11:25:17 +0000

Here’s the double triquotra fountain and an explanation of how the triquotra behind the head works. There are more amazing tracers that you unlock once you get this in your muscle memory! This move can be also done with 3 poi and it’s one of the most visual moves out there. Here is the 3 poi version

In this fountain, the arms are in Earth and the poi in Water.

4-petal antispins behind the head – Body tracing vs antispins

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 11:23:31 +0000

Antispins are the ultimate body-tracing weapon, but in order to body-trace them, you have to know how to bring them around different planes. This tutorial explains it, plus shows 2 particular moves that you can do – both in fire/fire mode.

Body tracing with 4-petal antispin is the most useful out of all the antispin shapes out there, as it offers the biggest variety of moves since 4-petal antispin is symmetrical in both vertical and horizontal axis.

All About Tunneling with Vojta and Ronan – Stromboli Retreat

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 06:41:16 +0000

A tunneling seminar that Ronan and I did at Stromboli! This was the first time (I believe for both of us) to teach and grasp all the geometrical concepts we’ve been playing with. It’s sort of a special language that once you understand, it becomes easier to communicate by circular patterns rather than words. But if you watch this entire video, you will have a good insight into what is there and how all the Elements & Inspins & Antispins & CAPs work, and they can be combined in all the different ways.

Make sure you watch the Tunneling Basics video before getting into more complex patterns!

You can find all the info here if you’re curious about the Stromboli Poi Retreat.

All the shapes with Ronan and Vojta – Stromboli Retreat

Upwork11 — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 06:37:41 +0000

All the shapes in a recap from Stromboli Poi Retreat! Antispin and Inspins patterns and how they can be combined (more in-depth than my previous tutorial about this topic). Ronan is one of the founders of this stuff, so his way of explaining some very complex patterns – such as anti-anti-spins, is very interesting to me, too.

It follows up a bit on the previous tunneling basics video and is followed by a complex tunneling seminar.
