Top Game areas of interest

After compiling this list, I have realized that the main areas of top game are-

Attacking-
-progress to more a dominant position
-winning the transitions
-top control- posture, pressure, base, balance,etc.
-setting up attacks and finishing submissions

Defending-
-submission defense
-sweep defense/recovery
-winning the transitions
-top control- posture, pressure, base, balance, etc.

This is still sort of in progress.
