There's no wrong answer here. I'm just curious what positions you find yourself in the most. What submission you come across the most.

I largely positional spar full guard, side and back. Sweep, pass, or submit. In opinion, knowledge and comfort in side control is most important. Allows for fearless play
I end up in half guard a lot. But lately the truck has been pretty common too.
Half guard, side control, mount (top and bottom for each)
Submissions I most commonly fall victim go: Kimura and Americana
Submissions I most commonly win with: electric chair, mounted triangle, starting to love banana split from the truck
Spots found in:
Most common: top side-mount, bottom 1/4-guard
Average: half-guard
Least common: inferior back-mount
Submissions I finish with:
Most successful: triangle
Average: armbar
Rarest: femur compression by powerful lockdown
Submisions I fall victim to:
Most often: americana
Average: RNC/armbar
Rare: guillotine
I'd say for me 1/4 and half. Both bottom and top. I end up in most positions but those are the highest percent.
I am finding this surprisingly hard to answer.
Probably top half or butterfly guard on bottom.
When rolling with my instructor, I find myself in positions of danger.....
It's a complex system so totally understandable.Quote:

I'd say in the gym, this is true for me. In competition I rarely have anybody going 1/4 or half guard on me. I think I spend a lot of time in bottom half or on top in full guard.Quote:

If I am in control, usually reverse kesa gatame or mount. If I am just a little bit better than than my opponent, I sweep from half and play around with leg entanglements.Quote:

I hit the armbar the most gi and nogi. No gi I also hit a lot of toe holds, Japanese
Neckties, calf slicers, and the The Double Wristlock Catch Wrestling Style.
Gi I also like to hit baseball bat chokes everywhere with the lapel or
Collar and I have been working on leveling up my arm triangle ezekiel choke.
For the last mounth I've only worked butterfly or getting back to butterfly when on bottom. On top I'm always in half or mount. I also find myself getting the truck and a position Sean Bollinger calls knee on bicep alot. Subs I'm hitting are alot of no gi modified Ezekiels, arm triangles, carnis, and straight ankle locks, Brandon's sock lock has been there for me a few times recently as well.Subs I've been getting caught with are darces and guillotines, mostly while working my butterfly.
Top and bottom half if say :)
I find myself in bottom half quite a lot and side control if they're better than me. Loving the turkey wrap at the moment, otherwise I've been hitting some straight ankle locks and guillotines
Open guard top and bottom. Lots of bolo positioning. Leg control positions, and, of course, the pistash
I've only been a blue belt for about 7 mths, so I'd say I find myself getting worked by upper belts mostly hahaha. But, I am developing deep half with underhook defense better. I always try to get on top and work half guard top or side control. Mostly in gi I get to baseball choke from knee on belly or triangles from bottom. No gi, arm triangles and americanas are what I will try for and triangles from bottom. I get caught in guillotines and my last tournament I got caught in a solid triangle and just got lazy on the two in two out rule and thought I could posture out and get my hand inside better, but I used to get caught in them a lot when I first tried to break and pass standing.
