Question: what does the word "kuzushi" mean, literally?

Kuzushi means unbalancing or breaking the balance of an opponent. It comes from the Japanese verb kuzusu, which means to pull down, destroy, or level.

Not a question here, but I realized not long ago that in order to sweep/ tip someone from a bottom position (whether it be half guard or full guard or mount etc), the other person's center of gravity (their "weight") is in their hips, and when I loaded their "weight" onto my hips, they were tippable. I didn't know how to explain it but the tripod theory in this video gave me an "aha" moment!
