Change position is based on Shoving People Around (drat! Ninja'd!). You don't need control points to take advantage of the mechanical support TG gives to grappling, though. The book was written to be fully usable without CP - CP just makes things easier. In fact, the stock "-4 if you're grappled" substitutes directly for the floating penalties for control points anyway, so the resolution mechanics that were introduced in the book would apply pretty easily even without (what the author would consider) the beneficial innovation that is control points.
