Which foundational principle of DT addresses moving safely between positions?

• A. Transition
• B. Mobility
• C. Angles
• D. Engage/Disengage

Answer: (A)

Transition is the principle that covers moving safely between positions. It focuses on how you reposition your feet, adjust your stance, and shift your body so you remain balanced, in control, and ready to respond as the situation changes. A good transition keeps your base solid, your hands and weapon in safe, controlled positions, and your eyes on the threat throughout the movement. This is distinct from Mobility, which is the broader ability to move, and from Angles (which deals with body alignment for coverage and lines of sight) and Engage/Disengage (which concerns making or breaking contact). So moving safely between locations is all about a deliberate, controlled transition.
