Positional Transitions

Positional transitions involve flowing between positions to maintain control, exploit openings, or advance to more dominant setups. Smooth transitions prevent the opponent from stabilizing and create continuous attack opportunities.

Timing, leverage, and awareness are essential during transitions. For example, moving from side control to mount or half guard to X-guard must account for the opponent’s base and balance. Practicing controlled positional transitions strengthens both offensive pressure and defensive adaptability.
