21. Small Circle Principle
A small circle will increase the speed and effectiveness of your techniques; a large circle decreases this advantage. Whenever possible, apply smaller circles against linear motions.
22. Stretch-The-Rope Principle
This principle involves reeling in an opponent by constantly taking up the slack. A good analogy is pulling on a rope hand over hand. One hand pulls in the slack, and the other hand grasps that point, keeping the progress in place. By doing this, the other hand can continue to reel in an opponent, not allowing any progress to be given back to an opponent.
23. Torque
This is a process by which we take in the slack by twisting, turning and rotating a part of the body. At this point, one of two things will happen: the part of the body will break, or the rest of the body will follow. For example, with a wrist-flex, either the wrist will break, or you will be able to throw your opponent to the ground.
Transitional Realignment
Transitional Realignment facilitates being able to move through a technique, or transition, to another point within the technique. Transitional Realignment is used to slow down, redirect, or render weak, various grappling control mechanics by restructuring or realigning appendages so that strength and/or correct body position is lost.
25. Wedge
A triangularly shaped formation of body limbs, when employed properly, can separate a part of the body or force it apart. This concept involves placing something between you and your opponent. A wedge is also a form of a pry release in the way it is executed.
