I don't blame you for questioning me, I have train submission wrestling, and right now I'm training freestyle/folk wrestling privately with a coach. I have good submission defense which is the only reason I can survive. Since I couldn't train often a gym due to money problems , me and my friend train the basics as often as we can.
I have good understanding of position, so if someone got me in crossbody,full or whatever mount I know I'm in a bad spot and need to get out. But because I practice the easy to learn basics a lot I know to keep my hands tuck in, my posture good and never bent, the importance of shrimping, keeping my weight evenly balance, and my chin down so I do not get choke, triangle, or armlock. Oh and never letting my opponent squeeze there legs together or even let them touch when they are going for a leg lock because I know that is the secret to the leverage and power in the leg lock.
Purples dominate me positionally , because I lack the experience to really put up a good offense. I do get tap by them but it's not something like a walk in the park unless they are a lot bigger than me. Blues I am more confident with because I survive much better , and if I had more mat time maybe I could submit a blue once or twice during sparring. I have been learning the best I can through books,instructs, taking privates, going to the gym when I can for the last 5 years but it has never been consist with a gym. Due to moving, me being a broke teenage with no car, or just where I was living.
I will never say I'm better than a purple or blue, but many people I have spar against have comment I was good so I think i'm a pretty good beginner.
