Why do some people just hold positions instead of attacking?

mental gametraining

Fear of ending up in a bad position they cannot escape. If you mount someone but know that if you go for an armbar and fail, you might end up with your back taken or in a submission you cannot escape, you will just hold mount for the whole round. Nothing happens because you lack the confidence to open up and attack. Building escape skills removes this fear.
