does it really matter what moves are called, especially when you're just starting out?
granted when you get to the intermediate/advanced stage, its sooo much more helpful to think of things in broken down terms,
but personally I think its hard enough at the beginning to just learn the move without worrying what the name means

good naming strutures are vital for the furthering of the understanding and teaching of poi as a whle,
its a geek thing, i think

ya, that;s the thing though. There is nothing logical or natural about that move being called a 'weave'. It could have just as easily been called a whirligig. It's a convention. Nothing wrong with that. Shorthand. Like Bluecat
Who called it a weave first anyway? Damn silly name. Plait maybe. Except Americans call them braids

I find it particularly amusing that y'all are using 3bt weave as the example... What was wrong with "cross and follow"??

Gabe, you asked some interesting questions in this and the PoiGeek thread. Like “what’s a fountain? I thought that was a juggling term?”
...seem to have a problem with poi people using a standard name like the three beat weave.
Written by :Stone
the three beat weave (aka cross-and-follow or chase)....club swinging....“over under”
Written by :Stone
an asymmetric move where each poi does one swing on its side, and two swings on the other...Counting the beats...etc

As far as the weave goes, the three beat weave (aka cross-and-follow or chase) is an asymmetric move where each poi does one swing on its side, and two swings on the other side of the body.

Not, of course, that I'm suggesting a name change at this late point- simply pointing out that accuracy of description is not the be-all and end-all of poi move naming.
