Why the Combat Base?

Yeah, standing passes rely a lot on quickness at times, but a lot of it is remembering the routes on the footwork patterns. Watch the Mendes Brothers and they look like they are tap dancing at times as they step in rhythm to their opponent, often without an overexaggerated wild step I often see some players do on open guard passes. Its not as much quickness as timing and having good footwork with grip control.

I'd really like to see a breakdown of this. Sounds like a good example of BJJ being more like tennis than chess.
