I expanded on what I wrote about having no base support.
What you said about using your opponent as a floor or what i would call 'base riding' (big bjj technique) i would consider that something more advanced. I wanted this to be only basic concepts but if you think its important i will include it. Let me know.

The definition you said is exactly what it takes to be balanced in a fight: "Maintain your cog inside your base support".
That definition is from a physics perspective that i dont think most readers would understand. Im sticking with what i read on JudoInfo. I did have something about having more floor contacts will keep you in balance better, ill expand on it.

I think what i call floor contacts and weak plane is essentially the same thing as what you call base support and base support plane. If its okay i'd rather use my own nomenclature but i will include the base plane. I will create a new graphic that better describes base, cog, floor contacts, and balance.
Also what you showed about COG-body is a good point. Do you want to write that concept? Maybe it will fit with relativity.

This one was really good ill add it. But if you find anything else please share it.
