Content guidelines

• your own rolls and matches, from training or competition;
• competition matches, including matches published online, for a coach’s analysis;
• footage of other people, when you have permission to share it. Every submission asks you to confirm that.

A breakdown is our coach’s analysis of the footage: the voiceover, the timestamped moments and the written report. That analysis is the product we sell.

• footage of anyone under 13;
• nudity, or anything filmed in a changing room or bathroom;
• fights outside a gym or a sanctioned event;
• footage recorded to mock, harass or embarrass someone, or with personal details such as a home address shown;
• footage that is not grappling.

If a coach marks your footage as unreviewable, your credit comes back to you. We remove anything in this list from the library as soon as we see it.

The listed price is for a public breakdown. After the team checks it, a public breakdown may be added to the library, where anyone can watch the walkthrough and the timestamped moments, with your name as it is on your profile. Your written report, with its summary and homework drills, stays private to you.

A private breakdown costs $10 more and appears nowhere public. You choose public or private when you submit, before you pay. You can also make a public breakdown private later from its own page, for the same price, except a breakdown bought from a guest coach’s page.

Every breakdown of a member under 18 is checked by the team before it can go into the library.

When a breakdown uses footage published by someone else, its page names the owner of the footage below the video and links to the original. In the library, a match plays only inside the coach’s breakdown. There is no playback of the match on its own and no download.

Every public breakdown page has a Request removal link. Anyone can use it, with or without an account: the member, a person shown in the video, a parent or guardian, or the owner of the footage. Leave an email address and we’ll reply to it. You can also write to support@grapplingbreakdown.com with the page address.

A parent or guardian chooses “I am the parent or guardian of the person in it” on the form. Taking a breakdown out for a parent or guardian is free of charge.

• A request that involves someone under 18 is answered within 24 hours.
• Any other request is answered within 48 hours.
• The page stays up while we look at a request.
• A breakdown that comes down stays private in the member’s account. The member’s own upload is deleted from our video host 30 days after delivery either way; the coach’s breakdown video stays.
• We can’t recall copies other people have already shared, or pages a search engine has already listed.

If you own footage used on this site and want it removed, send a notice to copyright@grapplingbreakdown.com or use Request removal on the breakdown page. Notices are answered within 24 hours when someone under 18 is involved, and within 48 hours otherwise. How to write a notice, how to send a counter-notice and our repeat infringer policy are in our copyright policy.
