Contact Juggling  

Contact juggling is a form of object manipulation that focuses on the movement of objects such as balls in contact with the body. It is Awesome. Here is Cyrille Humen throwing down.

As you can see it's not as upbeat as poi, but what is great about the flow arts is they all connect in some way. When you learn how to contact juggle you are actually practicing for many flow arts. In my last post i shared with you glow sticking and fire poi. Well many of you would say that contact juggling and poi don't relate. So how could learning contact juggling help me spin poi? CONTACT POI, is it possible? Yes and Cyrille Humen is amazing at it! Here is Cyrille Humen throwing down again....but with contact poi.

Poi

If you've ever been to any electronic show before you have probably have seen those kids in the back rolling nuts swinging around glow sticks. Well that's a style of poi. Now, some of them are just swinging glow sticks around, but there are also people who throw down with glow sticks,like these dudes.

  At first i wasn't a fan of glow sticking or poi in general. I thought it was just i thing you did when you where rolling/tripping. It's much more then that though. As you will see it is art!! Here is one of my favorites, Micheal Parisi .

What are Flow arts?
Well if you ask wikipedia they are playful movement arts involving skill toys that are used to evoke the exploration of dynamic, flowing, and sequential movements.
Is Shaun white a Douche bag?
Yes! we all know that, but when it comes down to snowboarding he’s the shit! He has mad flow, skills, and in my opinion creates art.
Is snowboarding a Flow art?
It fits the definition.I would say yes it is but that's not what this blog is about. This blog is to show you the flow arts that don't require a half pipe or a thousand dollars in gear. Everything I will put on this blog is cheap and can be done at home.
