Posts Are A Core Jiu-Jitsu Mechanic
Posts are using an extremity to base off a platform like the floor or an opponent to generate or absorb force.
Posting is a core mechanic alongside frames, levers, wedges, clamps, and hooks and is fundamental to jiu-jitsu balance.

Avoid blanket rules like "never post on the floor"; instead choose posts that reduce vulnerability and suit the situation.
When in guard, prefer posting on the opponent rather than the floor to avoid openings like kimuras.
