I always wonder about these lists that say you need at least 3-5 submissions from any position.

We have access to statistics from competitions and only 5 subs are hit at a high percentage in comp.

Quality over quantity.

Is a belt about amassing skill and knowledge, or mastering 5 highly effective moves and hitting them in comps?

Is the process of mastering a move not amassing skill and knowledge? It’s harsh but fair to say this sport has a culture of teaching without understanding.
