I think the zombie mode/ gangsta mode classification is much better. Gangsta mode is one hand above, one hand below the partner’s shoulders (i.e. what you were calling “split”). Zombie mode is both hands above or below the partner’s shoulders (i.e. what you were calling “same”). This way you can refer to all the weaves by your personal timing and direction without getting confused by what arm placement you’re using. Note that your timing and direction does not need to be the same as your partner’s. This gets you into butterfly weaves and hybrid butterfly/normal weaves. Also I don't know if you were necessarily going for completeness, but in this demo you’re missing same time opp direction gangsta, same time same direction gangsta, split time same direction zombie, and split time opp direction zombie… not to mention all the weaves in their reverse direction, facing back-to-back and front-to-back, etc. ;) Keep going on the mapping! It takes a while, but it is worth it to learn them all. You’ll probably find yourselves lapsing into the more comfortable ones, but after practicing for a while some of the “awkward” ones become a lot more fluid. Good work!
