Right now my "game" (if you can call it like that) is me waiting for my partner to move and react on his move. I have no real "offence" game when I am on top, especially when I am in somebody's guard I tend to stall and wait for what happens, mainly because I have problems with posturing up and keeping them on the ground. And even when I have mount I wait for them to move rather than going for some sub myself. It is not like I am not going for the sub, I take it when I see it but I am not pushing for it or anything.
When I have somebody in guard I just wait for them to stand up because then I can sweep them (I have a hard time with the scissor sweep and all the others) and since I have a tight guard most people tend to stand up. Yesterday one guy did the elbow grind in my thigh for about 1,5 minute but I did not open my guard (I regretted that soon after when my leg started to cramp) because I knew eventually he will stand up, what he did.
I don't like that passive approach, I feel like I am not doing anything and hence I don't improve at the level I "imagine" I could.
So what is your approach, do you wait or do you push the pace?
PS: If this does not belong here, move it to gitmo
