Anyone else deal with having to overcome the fear of losing position in BJJ? I feel like this is stunting my growth. I'm a blue that's been training a little over three years now and I often find myself in positions where I should be going for a submission or sweep but don't pull the trigger because I don't want to lose position or get my guard passed.
I actually experience this more from closed guard than anywhere. I don't really have a problem doing things from mount or side control that could give up position but when in closed guard I feel like shooting for triangles/armbars/etc. is going to enable my guard to be passed.
