After demoing the around the head meltdown last week, I got a comment from one person asking about performing the meltdown as a fountain. While I think that conceptually the two are different enough that a straight-up combination of these moves is not possible, there is a way to perform a similar maneuver by using Alien Jon's concept of body zones. Demoed here are a couple ways to play with this concept. Next up, I'm getting to be relatively happy with my transitions from isolation to lockout, so I'm starting to work through an isolated weave. It's really sloppy, but hopefully the first step that will lead to the full move down the road. Finally, G and Pineapple Pete posted a video this week showing off some plane-bending ideas centered around airwraps. There's a move in this video that I'm really digging on that adds some plane-shifting flourish to a weave. Here I have demoed both of the variants on this that G demoed, as well as a couple other ideas based upon it as well.
