Width Zone


An idiom that refers to any measurable distance in a side-to-side (i.e., horizontal) orientation, relative to self or other fixed Point of Reference in space.

The Width Zone is one of the three (3) Dimensional Zones within normal space. The other two (2) Dimensional Zones being Height Zone and Depth Zone. Using these Dimensional Zones, the concept of Power Principles was derived. These Dimensional Zones along with the element of time are what essentially composes all movement.

 

The Width Zone is generally associated with circular motion, where the Height Zone and Depth Zone are generally associated with linear motion. Because of this, and in association with the concept of Power Principles, width is primarily directly related to torque.

 

The easiest way to conceptualize width is to visualize a three (3) dimensional box laying flat on the ground, where width represents the box's dimension from side-to-side.

 

Using the Dimensional Zone Theory, the Width Zone is generally divided into four (4) levels that are viewed from the front. Taken from a natural stance they are:

1)(right) outer shoulder to (right) inner shoulder

2)(right) inner shoulder to (vertical) center-line

3)(vertical) center-line to (left) inner shoulder

4)(left) inner shoulder to (left) outer shouler
