My full guard is very strong and I can squeeze the life out of most people (think there was a James Bond movie...nevermind)

I am very happy to pull guard and work from there.

The problem is...That I pull guard and work for the reversal so I can get top position. I realise that is a bit back to front.

My fave subs are: Arm triangle from full mount and arm bar from guard.

I always seem to leave my neck out and often have to fight out of guilotines.

I have issues with tapping to chokes and would rather go to sleep. Any arms or leg locks will achieve a tap as I value my limbs.

I am most dangerous off of my back because I have long thing limbs at the same time this is also my achilles heal (no pun intended as I have lost before to ankle and achilles locks LOL) but I am just as effective transitioning from the close guard and from side control. I think a good grappler is good no matter where is at.

the neck thing has been a problem of mine for years but I managed to control that further down the line, I also value my limbs and as a lot of tournaments are all sudden death in one day, if I can't roll or transition my way out of any leg or arm lock I'll tap but that doesn't happen enough :P

i found that looking upward toward their chest say if you are in their guard (especially butterfly guard) helps me stay out of guillotines and of course keeping your head aligned in the center of their body.

The alignment thing is the key. I injured my neck twice before... Not fun
