An idiom describing establishing proper range through the use of foot maneuvers and/or body maneuvers.

Comments:

Displacement of Distance is another way to refer to Closing the Gap or Opening the Gap to create proper range between you and your opponent(s). Although, It is slightly more specific in that it is used exclusively in the context of Foot Maneuvers and/or Body Maneuvers to achieve this goal.

Displacement of Distance can be said to Bridge distance. But technically, Displacement of Distance must Bridge that distance through the use of Foot Maneuvers and/or Body Maneuvers.

Displacement of Distance is almost always used interchangeably with Closing the Gap, but technically could also be used interchangeably with Opening the Gap. This is because achieving proper range can refer to the creation of distance rather than the more common usage of closing distance.

In that same vein, Displacement of Distance is the result of eliminating Dead Space.

Displacement of Distance is most commonly used in the context where proper range was lost and Displacement of Distance is the mechanism used to reestablish the necessary range.
