Momentum Transitions are specific transitions which combine with one another when used in sequential order. They are transitions that when used, will transition as fast as possible allowing your fighter use a transition as if you had full Grapple Advantage. An example of Momentum Transition is when your opponent puts you into their Rubber Guard, your fighter will have a fast transition to Stacked Guard. There are over 40 different combinations of Momentum Transitions to find.
