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.
