Hi,

I am a long time freestyle wrestler who is making the transition to submission grappling and jiu jitsu. I am doing very well and my wrestling is really paying off but I find that I will kind of fall into submission attempts before popping out and such.

I find myself constantly going for top position, which can sometimes leave me open within the guard. I was curious as to what advice any of you may have for a freestyle wrestler grappling with jiu jistu guys.
