The Three Top Guard Submissions for Beginners

I realize that many people will disagree with me on this mainly because what I am about to write would be considered mundane, but bear with me and I will explain why these three closed guard submissions should be the top submissions employed by a beginner:

The Guillotine, The Kimura, and the Cross Collar Choke.

The reason that these submissions are advised for beginners is that they do not require that you need to use a lot of guard skill to move or leverage an opponent. As such, you open and re-close your legs to finish the opponent. With and armbar or a triangle, you must control a fragment of the person's body. With the previously mentioned submissions, you maintain a control over the entire body. This is, clearly, much easier. An armbar or a triangle performed by a beginner just creates easy openings to pass the guard and should be avoided until a little more skill is developed
