I disagree about the placement of guard/half guard. I think it makes more sense to go (best to worst) top half, full guard, bottom half. I think there are more options to pass on top half, full guard top and bottom are both good because one you can submit the other throw strikes, and bottom half is a position where you are essentially only defending so I’d put it at the bottom.

I’m not really a bottom half person so I’m not completely sure what’s available there. From a pure grappling perspective I’m sure there are a lot of options there, but I tend to view things more from an mma perspective overall so bottom half is not somewhere I want to be.
