Posting Rules

Follow the rules of reddit and use reddiquette. Be civil in submissions and comments.

No reposts or low-effort content. Utilize our community-curated BJJ FAQ wiki and use the search function before posting. People who are thinking about training or have been training for fewer than 6 months should look at the BJJ FAQ wiki and use the search function. If that doesn't answer your question, please post in Fundamentals Class megathread (visible every day at the top of the subreddit).
Save your first tap and new stripe/belt promotion posts for the weekly bragging megathreads on Sundays unless you have an interesting photo or story to go with it or you earned a black belt.
Don't ask for medical advice before you have seen a doctor.
Use [Spoiler] in your title when posting BJJ or MMA match results within 24 hours of the event.
Don’t share, request, discuss, or imply possession of pirated content, such as ripped PPV streams or instructional DVDs.
Company owners can make one post announcing their store (ideally with a coupon code) but need to follow reddit's rules for self-promotion like buying reddit ads.
No Animal Memes. Yes, we know animals grapple. They just don't do it here.
Fight videos must show competent grappling. Videos must contain at least one person who obviously trains BJJ and is applying that training.
No reaction gif/pic memes. Posts may not be a simple reaction gif/pic meme.
