Name: Leon Goodwin
Sex: Male
Age: 26
Location: Matlock, Derbyshire, England
Favourite Performance items: UV reactive Poi with tails, Glowsticks, Photon Microlights & glo-nunchaku & contact juggling balls.

Been twirling: for about 4 weeks with the Poi, 2 years for the other things! 4 years contact juggling.
Occupation: Network security consultant
Hobbies: Kung Fu, Gym, Poi
Music: Hard Trance (Mark EG, Vortex M-Zone) , Hard House (Farley, BK, Lisa Lashes, Ann Savage), Most hardcore stuff + some mainstream POP (not Westlife tho!)
Movies: Krull, Gladiator, Labyrinth (this got me into contact juggling), Shaft - in fact most blaxploitation films crease me up.
Worst Performance: Doing a glo-nunchacku demo at work and took out a big fluorescent light in front of 30 people (FYI glo-nunchacku are wooden nunchaku with about 2" Cut off each end and replaced with a clear bevel, a photon microlight is then place in each bevel)
Best Ever purchases: My Poi obviously, a pair of soulfusion glo-trainers and a full on metal body armour costume from David Spain
Favourite Colours: Blue & Red
That's me in a Nutshell!

Hi Lolli,
I'm pretty good with nunchaku so the whole swinging thing is coming pretty easily to me. Some of the moves are very tricky tho.. and i'm constantly whacking myself with the poi..thankfully not as painful as when i first started with wood nunchaku... especially the head shots!!
Contact juggling fascinated me as soon as I saw Labyrinth but it took a while to find any reference guides to it..as far as i'm aware there are only 2 books about it so i just worked my way through them.. i love the fluidity of contact juggling and it helps alot with the liquid dancing.
