thoughts from a jiu-jitsu company

The final thing we should look at about creating space is that it is usually easier to create space while in transition. If someone’s passing your guard, don’t wait until they establish mount or cross body before you start creating space, do it while they’re transitioning; do it while they’re moving. That’s when you’ll have enough space to create more.

Your opponent starts to pass your guard, don’t hold on for dear life hoping to stop his movement. This is the time for you to move as well, to create space and either improve your position or put him back into your guard.

Tenet number three says create space in the transition; create space during movement.
