World Fireknife Championship 2022

[@zerubbabelsbridge]

Okay that was awesome.

[@TheAkiis]

Anybody knows about the weights of the fire knife? They look heavy but I can't imagine this kind of speed with a heavy staff.

[@wizcold9103]

Soaked in gasoline it’s about 9pounds

[@ErnestoRodriguez-fn1sh]

Campeones 👌🇪🇸🌿👋

[@1SCme]

*What are they using for fuel?* Would seem to be something that burns at a low temperature they way they grabbed it directly. If you go to the Pacific Islands or SE Asia, take in the dance or cultural shows - some aren't high quality, but they are interesting, and a nice addition between dinner and the bars.

special oil pretty sure

[@andyxa4224]

Most dancers use white gas fuels (Coleman's or Crown Brand), cleaner then any other fuel

[@devvyas6751]

Where can you watch the whole thing?

[@daniellindemann3960]

Anyone know how to learn this? Like is there a KZbin channel that teaches this or something?

[@farmeight9915]

Search for Siva Afi Samoa online and ask for more infos, There are some Siva Afi groups in Asia n USA that teaches children and adults but i don't know where they're based. Or search for this guy "HOGAN TO'OMALATAI" or his wife and ask for help... he's the LEGEND with FIREKNIVES.

[@ashltron]

Can anyone from any culture compete?

[@poopypuffyfruity6667]

pretty sure yea

[@konstantinmuhin4813]

Of course. Each culture has its' own highlights.

[@farmeight9915]

Yes you can if you divorce your wife right now and marry to a Samoan to create connection lol

[@stevenscottoddballz]

If I light a match, I can blow it out easily. How is it that the Fireknives are whirling at incredible speeds, but don't go out?

[@poopypuffyfruity6667]

special oil

[@stevenscottoddballz]

@@poopypuffyfruity6667 Oh! Thank you.

[@andyxa4224]

Fireknife dancers use soundboards or kevlar that soak up the white gas fuels which is why they can last awhile

[@stevenscottoddballz]

@@andyxa4224 Thank you, Andy. [I know what a soundboard is, but never heard of it being used in Fire~Dancing.]
