Points System - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

To score takedown points, you must break the opponent’s balance, take them to the ground, and . If you throw them but land in their guard, you still get the 2 points. If you fall into a submission (e.g., a guillotine), you get nothing.

It is a common misconception that side control itself awards points. In the standard points system, side control is the result of a guard pass (3 points). If you takedown an opponent and land directly in side control, you only get the 2 points for the takedown, not the additional 3 for a pass, because the legs were never a barrier to begin with. brazilian jiu jitsu points system
