Which option is not one of the Range Control Techniques?

• A. Post
• B. Frame 1 & 2
• C. Underhook & Head control
• D. Create Space

Answer: (D)

Controlling range means maintaining a favorable distance and using structures to prevent the opponent from closing in or to keep them where you want them. Posts are like placing a barrier with your hands to keep the opponent at a safe distance and to offload pressure. Frames 1 and 2 are similar ideas—using your forearms and hands to create space and redirect the opponent, keeping you in a better position to react. Underhook and head control are about binding the opponent’s upper body and head to limit their ability to move in and close the distance, maintaining control of the range.

Create Space, on the other hand, is about breaking contact and increasing distance to escape or reset. It’s a disengagement move rather than a method for actively maintaining or controlling distance during a grappling exchange. That’s why it isn’t listed as a Range Control Technique.
