Creating Space 2: Create Space to Attack the Base
Filed Under Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Theory, Philosophy, and Technique
Creating space also helps up break someone’s base, it helps us sweep or reverse our opponent. Imagine having someone in your guard; you shrimp to the side and slide your shin across your opponent’s belly. You are going to attempt a scissor sweep, but before you actually scissor your legs, you straighten your body and pull your opponent on top of you. You create space by straightening your body; then you fill that new space with your opponent’s upper body. This will break their posture (base) and when you scissor your legs, your opponent will roll to his side and you of course will ride him up to the mount.
So tenet number two says we can attack our opponent’s base by creating space. Create space to attack the base.
