Introducing jiggies

Jiggy training shifts control from the arms to the whole body, using torso pivots and hip sway to drive poi pathways. Nick Woolsey frames it as a Tai Chi-inspired approach where the hands stay relatively fixed to the sternum or ribs while the body’s rotation creates the circles and side-to-side crossing.

You’ll drill keeping the grip “quiet” and letting weight shift, legs, and breathing generate forward and backward motion. The practical goal is cleaner, more relaxed timing and a style where poi movement reads as an expression of full-body mechanics rather than isolated arm work.
