Welcome to the community!

This is more a meme than a comic, but we'll take it. Any chance you were one of the dudes in the pic?

Sorry, you're right. I just found this community earlier today, thought it was amazing and wanted to help it grow.

And nope, that is something a friend sent me on one of my bad days to get a laugh out of me, and worked.

No problem! I understand and appreciate the sentiment ๐Ÿ’™

thought it was amazing and wanted to help it grow.

It so happens I just posted something about this very issue a minute ago, check it out?

Noted, and it aligns with my goals of being the change I want to see in the world.

I'll keep posting when I have a chance.

Awesome! Take a moment to comment there when you have the chance, it's always the first person that's the hardest ๐Ÿ˜

This is usually a promotion ceremony at Jiu-Jitsu schools that follow traditional Brazilian rules. Sometimes you also have to walk the gauntlet and get slapped by everyone's belts which can be quite painful, especially when you are shirtless.

They have the same thing at a nightclub here.
