I personally prefer having someone else in my guard. I'm a lot more comfortable, feel in control, and have an arsenal of moves to chose from that work efficiently. Though I've realize I'm limited to submissions when I'm in someone's closed guard. I'm not talking about opening it and going for a leg or passing it, but actual submissions. And I do very well with countering, but if they didn't work to improve their position or no mistake to take advantage from I just get out and move on. Being in someone's guard is seen as the more dominant position, right? I just do so much better the other way around and wanted to know your opinions on which position you prefer and submissions you do from inside closed guard; no gi.
