Grappling Transitions and Control Guide
⚡ What is a Transition/Control?
Transitions and controls are advanced techniques that allow fluid ground fighting and maintaining dominant positions.
The objective of transitions and controls:
- Smoothly chain between different positions
- Maintain pressure and initiative on the opponent
- Create constant attack opportunities
- Prevent opponent from regaining stable position
- Optimize use of weight and leverage
Mastering these techniques allows progression from static grappling to dynamic and unpredictable gameplay, characteristic of high-level grapplers.
