One easy way to understand Reactionary Position is that it is the natural reaction to pain, manipulation, or impact and how that reaction affects one's posture and position.

Reactionary Position is most commonly considered an Anticipated Variable which needs to be compensated for when executing a series of maneuvers on an opponent.

Anticipated Reactionary Positions should be considered natural and part of a Sequential Flow of action.
