Connection and Control

Connection and control focus on maintaining constant physical contact to monitor and influence opponent movement. This principle ensures the practitioner can react quickly to threats, limit escapes, and guide the opponent into disadvantageous positions.

Effective connection relies on grips, body contact, and weight distribution, allowing control over both limbs and core posture. Practitioners who master connection often exhibit superior defensive awareness, positional dominance, and the ability to chain techniques fluidly, highlighting its central role in both offensive and defensive strategy.
