Paul Han
From YoYo Wiki
With an extremely quick, dynamic, and consistent style, Paul Han has demonstrated, toured, and competed extensively. Ever since the advent of the freestyle division, he has been achieving a huge number of prestigious contest placings.
In the late 90s he toured extensively with Team High Performance (THP) of Hawaii, known for their trademark teal shirts, choreographed performances, and extreme use of eurobeat and 80s hits. In 2004, he also toured with the YoYoFactory Fast Challenge tours in southern California. In 2006, Paul joined Team Anti-Yo at the World Yo-Yo Contest. Paul has also been a member of Team Yomega and from 2004 to 2006 a member of the YoYoFactory Contest Team.
While his older competition style was mostly characterize by flashy, eurobeat accompanied performances, he has since adopted a sharper, edgier style accompanied by punk or hard rock. Though extremely proficient in both 1A and 2A, Han has mostly halted his 2A freestyles in order to focus on 1A exclusively.
