How to get into forward behind the back weave

This review focuses on reliable entries into a forwards behind-the-back weave, a pattern many people find less intuitive than the backwards version. Nick Woolsey relates it to front-of-body weave logic, highlighting how the first “over” sets up repeated “under” actions, and why starting on an “under” tends to create a cross-up.

You’ll drill a practical lead-in using forwards spinning with the poi staying behind you, alternating right-behind and left-behind positions to build timing, hand pathway clarity, and plane control. The aim is cleaner orientation behind the back so the weave pathway feels predictable rather than forced.
