Chasing points might be holding your Jiu-Jitsu back. While tournaments are great for growth, the obsession with point-scoring positions like side control and standard mount often leads practitioners to ignore more effective techniques that don’t show up on a scoreboard. Positions like the body triangle or mounting the legs can be far more efficient for gassing out an opponent and forcing mistakes, yet they are frequently overlooked because they don’t offer the same tournament rewards. Since the vast majority of your time is spent training in the gym rather than competing, focusing solely on a point system can stunt your overall development and keep you from using the most effective techniques. Stop rolling just for the points and start training for efficiency. What are some of your favorite “illegal” or zero-point techniques that actually work? #jiujitsu #combatsports #martialarts
