Charlie's 9-Square Theory for Poi #6: Translation Theory

The 9-square theory is something I've been developing for the past few years. It is an imaginary-geometric framework I use to help add structure and consistency to all elements of my spinning technique. These elements include, but are not limited to: Direction, timing, plane, driving style, body movement, flow, teaching techniques, determination of poi-length, etc...
As I mention in the video, this is a public invitation to discuss and collaborate! But I ask that any constructive criticism on the blog itself (AKA: not tech or spin related) be sent to me privately so that we may keep the unwieldy discussion board on youtube on-topic.
This is still very much in the beta version, I still have a very difficult time explaining some of the concepts, so please be sure to ask me to specify/post additional vids if necessary.

Many thanks to Annie Guest who has been helping me tirelessly to produce the videos for everyone. This would not be possible without her generosity, her 98' VW Jetta, Canon G10, dining room, and infinite patience... THANKS!!!

Enjoy!
