I love how polished your videos are becoming! I recently went to my first music festival and finally got to do poi as part of a community, and I realized that you've taught me a whole lot. Thanks for being such a valuable resource!
Great video, my brain hurt when the reverse 5 beat was explained but I thought the explanation was great. I have been trying to teach my 7 year old daughter to spin poi and she naturally does everything in reverse for some reason. I struggle with all the reverse stuff but maybe one day I will get it.
Cool tutorial! You did a great job breaking this down. I'm glad you broke down the reverse 5-beat as well. There weren't really any good tutorials on that one, and it was much more difficult of a concept for me to understand when I was learning it.
i feel like this is just a more complicated 2 beat, but then again its been a whil esince ive done 2 beat so i could be wrong, but thats how im thinking abt it and its helping me a bit :)
Hallo Drex. Thanks for your Cool work. I learn with your Tutorial so 6Month. But i dont check this 5beat Weave. Can i send you a Video. Can you Help me please 🙏 much Love to you. From Austria. Lg Nici
Oh dear lord...there's a reason for that. I'll put it in the queue but for the record I avoid doing BTB videos if I can help it. My arms are short and not very flexible, so most BTB tricks are pretty uncomfortable for me.
My question is during a performance to the average audience member, the 3 beat weave and 5 beat weave will look pretty much the same, so what does the 5B weave accomplish during a performance that the 3B weave does not?
For the most part the audience can't tell the difference but it does offer you the closest thing that poi has to suspensions. Suspensions in dance are when you freeze in a given pose or shape for a moment. You can't do this in poi because the poi have to keep moving in order to maintain their shape. 5 beat weaves allow you to slow down during a weave and achieve something closer to a suspension purely by virtue of the fact that they take about a second longer to perform. There are definitely people who work toward doing 7 and 9 beat weaves, but they look really ugly and mainly just exist for bragging rights.
The training methods I'm doing start off as 4-beats. Once you've done the extra twist on each side of your body, you chain them together and get a 5-beat weave out of it.

I'm coming back to this video after a year learning the forward five-beat to learn the reverse five-beat. Thank you!

You’re a great teacher !
Seriously bro, you have helped me a ton since picking poi up. You are much appreciated my guy, real shit. Thank you.
Drex your a great teacher. I be stuck if i diddnt have your videos.
Honestly drex is who taught me when i first started. And although i dont spin much anymore i still watch occasionally
Thank you for all your videos I'm learning so much keep doing what you do 🤘😎🤘

I've just started learning & will be
taking your content with me to the
park today toget a lesson in the
open 💯 🙉 🙈 🙊
Ive sorta figured out a 5 beat but its not really polished. I cant wait to pick poi up again and use this to polish up
@ 1:50 imagine watching this with no captions or audio😂
The "don't use poi" use something solid to learn it tip is the best one here.
And you have to twist fast enough
The tether HAS to touch the opposite hand. ive been trying to do this wrong forever
nice movie series continue guys :D thx

Free beef boy
what about a BTB 5 beat forward wave? there's not many tutorials about it on the webz :)
Oh dear lord...there's a reason for that. I'll put it in the queue but for the record I avoid doing BTB videos if I can help it. My arms are short and not very flexible, so most BTB tricks are pretty uncomfortable for me.
So I’m subscribed to your channel, but it won’t let me turn the notification bell on? Says something about content for children?
My question is during a performance to the average audience member, the 3 beat weave and 5 beat weave will look pretty much the same, so what does the 5B weave accomplish during a performance that the 3B weave does not?
I guess I should have waited until the end of the video to leave a comment haha
Haha

@@DrexFactor The poi spinners notice the extra weaves and I think the 5,7 and 9 weaves look really cool.
The 7 beat wave is just a windmill at the top two beats😊
That's really helpful. Thank you. 🎐🎐🤗
Sure thing! :)
Hey when is your next live stream :)
Probably this Friday!
Wait, isn't that 4-beat, though??
