Balance displacement control principle involves displacing balance through leverage to move the subject's center of gravity beyond their feet, often with which supporting steps?

• A. Focusing on maintaining your own balance while the subject tries to throw you off
• B. The use of anxiety and distraction to keep the subject off balance
• C. Displacing the subject's balance through leverage to move their center of gravity beyond their feet
• D. Forcing submission by pinning

Answer: (C)

The main idea is to shift the other person’s balance by using leverage so their center of gravity moves outside their base of support. When their weight is displaced beyond their feet, they lose stability, making it possible to control their movement rather than relying on sheer strength. In practice, this is supported by deliberate footwork and stance: you adjust your own balance, step to create an angle that destabilizes them, and guide their momentum into a controlled end position. This approach focuses on creating the moment of imbalance and using that to gain control, rather than simply trying to pin or distract the person.
