Weave to butterfly change based on double stalls & isolations

Simple idea..

Picture a double weave vertical(opposite) stall in front of the body. And a double vertical split time butterfly stall(on either side of the body).

Or a same time butterfly double upwards/downwards stall and a follow time same direction double upwards/downwards stall.

Notice how in each of those situations both stalls are the same?

Now the idea being, that you can enter a (say, opposite vertical) stall from both a weave and a st bt, and you can also exit into a weave or a st bt. Meaning, enter from a weave, exit in butterfly. Or enter bt, exit weave.

Or..

Split time butterfly to double HORIZONAL stall to follow time weave and back the same way.

Weave to double horizontal opposite stall (in front of body) to butterfly and back.

Next..

Realize that you can basically do an opposite double stall in three positions:

-poi heads touching (hands 2 poi lenghts apart, "broad" stall)

-poi head next to opposite hand, (hands 1 poi apart, "middle" stall)

-hands next to each other, (poi pass along each other completely, "compact?" stall)

Same direction stalls dont really have this kind of possibility. Or better said, they do something similar but I havent explored there yet(possible hybridae stuff in there).. smile

Now the fun part with some examples and ideas smile

Get used to an opposite "middle" stall in front of your body with short poi.

Do a buzzsaw isolation. Notice when your hands are at a 6/12 o clock position. Pull hands apart into a long arm split time butterfly, split time opposite "medium" stall on the other side, continue buzzsaw same direction split time isolation.

Then, try: half beat isolation, half beat st btfl (meaning: hands change top <> bottom in stall, then hands transfer to other side of body, etc.)

Change split time to follow time.

Switch weave and butterfly in iso and longarm.

Try a "compact" stall in the example above, to non-isoed buzzsaw.

Try a "broad" stall in the example above, to absolute isolation. (yes, it is possible for a half beat.. ubbrollsmile

)

Insert inversions (in buzzsaw invs, middle stalls, depends on correct positions of hands relative to poi heads & strings, you wont have a problem if you can do them)

Add plane changes from stalls.

And so on, and so on..

Practical routine application is in a few nice direction changes her and there, as far as I can imagine. As with most stalls, massive application isn't that effective.

Ask for any clarification you need, I know this isn't that comprehensible..

So, who wants a video? ubbangel

BTW.. I had no idea what to search for with this stuff, so if it's allready here.. Sorry redface

Smile.. It confuses people..:)
