Behind the Back (BTB) Weaves for Poi: 5 Drills to Learn the Impossible!

5 drills to master the behind the back weave! Behind the back 3-beat weaves are notoriously difficult poi tricks because they force us to work in a space where the mobility of our hands and wrists are restricted--but that doesn't make them impossible! Here I take you through 5 of the best drills and practice techniques I've encountered for getting down this challenging intermediate poi trick.
Much of this material has been adapted from or inspired by Nick Woolsey's tutorial on the same topic:

I am working on those currently, your tutorial comes at the perfect moment 😁! Thank you very much for explaining also the things that go wrong in the beginning and the remedy. This makes your videos so impactful!

Love the new set. It's much easier to follow along from 3rd person perspective as far as right vs left hand stuff. Also saw your cap videos and it is surprising how easy it is to follow the patterns on screen with little animated poi. Just food for thought I guess. 🤙

Love it! If you feel comfortable doing so, post video when you’ve got it down and tag me-I’d love to see it!

That will keep me busy for some time ! Can only practice giants without poi ( arms only ) since my bedroom is tiny and it mostly rains outside here during winter . Ok update , took me 2 days can do 4 reps on each side till I keep hitting myself . Guess it’s just practice and repetition from now on. This tutorial helped allot , thanks !

Great tutorial- thanks once again Drex! I wouldn't have thought to try drilling giants otherwise.

I've been dying to learn the forward btb weave. And btb wast wraps

@matthewgillam-lewis6831 3 ай бұрын

Hi Drex! Thanks for the tutorial! I’m finally starting to get the btb weave down starting in splitT/sameD/wheelP in reverse. Then I thought I’d start in splitT/sameD/wheelP forwards-but BIG NOPE. My arms said ‘error 404’. Is it even possible to do btb weave starting in forwards?

@angelbornpsycho13 7 ай бұрын

I can do the behind the back butterfly but still struggle with btb 3 beat weave...I can do the tick tacks but then after that I'm lost

@hou5eheadjason 7 ай бұрын

I can do it with sockpois easy but when I try to glowstring its much harder to do btb weaves maybe because of the weight difference

@DrexFactor 7 ай бұрын

This is definitely a move that benefits from not having super light poi as the weight makes the planes harder to control. That said, if you can get this down with glowsticks you can do it with anything you ever lay your hands on!
