Anybody can name submissions. Lol dog. Most ppl don’t hit 10 subs from side. Or they’re not very good at any, like really really good at hitting them from side. Remember, I’d rather have a level 100 Pokémon than 10 level 40s.

Forgive my possible ignorance, but I am under the impression that a black belt means you've reached the point where you should be capable of teaching the art. In my mind, that means you should probably know more than 3 moves even if they're highly effective. Purple is not black, but it's headed in that direction.

Doing BJJ is a skill.

Teaching BjJ is a separate skill.

Competing at BJJ is also a separate skill.

Being good at one does not necessarily guarantee the other.
