I'm new to submission grappling, so it's interesting to read these posts. I really want to improve my guard and working to get back to half guard from side control. I have a wrestling background, so I'm really comfortable on top, but it's very strange to work off my back.
I tend to give up half guard, so that I can scramble and get off of the bottom.

I plan on working on getting and keeping half and full guard.

I'd also like to add a couple of strong submissions from the top. I can keep control of most people, but I have very few ways to finish the fight.

I plan on working on the Americana and Kimura from side control for the next month

This is a great idea, and it's a very interesting read.
