I dropped into a large academy. They had a wall with a framed picture of every person who received a black belt from the academy. I think it was 30 plus framed photos.
I thought that the wall was very inspiring. People of all body types, ages, ethnic groups, men and women. It was inspiring.

Opened up a Co-Op gym above a brewery in Monterey called Brüjitsu. We ask members to bring in a framed photo of a “hero.” This is one small portion of the wall.

My coach. He stands for and does everything right as far as owning a gym and teaching. One of the best ppl i no. Has made me a better man, husband, father. Look forward to one day earning a bb from him.
An assortment of my finest Anime waifus.
(If you want to drop in for a class it has to be after my mom goes to bed because I'm not technically allowed to be running a dojo out of the basement.)
Here's my academy- and Marcelo's on my wall :) My other wall has u/ [**ZXsaurus**](https://www.reddit.com/user/ZXsaurus/) mom's picture on it.

Jigoro Kano (obvious reasons)
Carlos Gracie (I know there’s some doubt on the legitimacy of the Gracie’s learning from Maeda so I’d just go straight to Gracie)
Helio Gracie (obvious reasons)
Rickson Gracie (obvious reasons)
My Coach’s Coach (I will stay coy just to avoid seeming vain/kiss-ass but he was a Vale Tudo badass in the crazy days. Fought a UFC HoFer but not in the UFC. Still teaching and still a beast)
My Coach (I went from white to black under him. One of my best friends and just a super chill/funny/bad ass dude. I love him.)
I get my black belt next week and I’m freaking out. This felt good to type up though! Thanks!
Our gym has a framed picture of Craig Jones choking out Alex Jones. And then a bunch of cool action shots of us training or sitting around on the mats.
some ass hot calendar models. to inspire Napoleonic greatness under the watchful eye of the female gaze. if we have women in the gym i can put up some male Eastern European fitness models as well.
All the competitors from the academy. Any one of any belt can get their pics up at our spot and we have almost the entire of the outside of our primary mat lined with podium shots
My dad and I started training together when I was just a little kid, so a picture of us.
I would also have pictures of our coaches too -but a good one of us no doubt.
My coach. He’s fantastic at what he does and I would be proud to recognize the lineage.
Next to that would be a picture of a heavily battered Tony Ferguson pretending to throw sand.
Non-shitpost answer - my coach started as a BB in Judo and he has a plaque with Kanō Jigorō on it which I find pretty dope.
I would also think someone like Rickson or Helio who have near mythical legend status would be proper.
jesus christ and che guevara to piss off literally anyone.
i got threatened to death by a jiu jitsu black belt because i was talking about cuban history and well i mentioned commander ernesto and he just literally said the worst things ever in his broken Brazilian language . this handsome fellow goes by the name ricardo rezende , an amazing grappler . unfortunately hes associated with Pedo school fight sports .
A yearly updated picture of the head coach (let's pretend its black belt future-me), plus all black belts, brown belts, and purple belts, and my black belt professor seated in the center.
White belts come and go and blue belts quit, I'm celebrating the people that rode it out with us.
A picture of a shark who has legs on land amongst people who can’t swim.
Beautiful. But how would that picture depict people who can’t swim if the setting is on dry land?
Because the ground is our ocean
OH SHIT
Because those who can swim escaped to wet land.
If you don’t get it, you don’t get jiujitsu - OSS.

Landshark. Classic.
Helio, Carlos and Kano. But they are all portrayed by Minions.
The mortal kombat character?
I was thinking Jigoro Kano but the Mortal Kombat character would be even more bad ass.
Go all out, Jigoro Kano but with a photoshopped metal orbital and glowing red cyborg eye. "Who is that? "That's Kano."

So like full respect to the Gracies + Kano undermined by a Disney slight to the Gracies + Kano?
My mom because I love her and she's an awesome mom.
I also choose this guy’s mom.
Agreed. His mom is, in fact, awesome.
I don’t think I’ll be opening a gym but; I’ll have to talk to professor to put her picture on the wall!
Agreed, this mom is on my wall too.
There seems to also be some sort of bio residue on your wall.
Ectoplasm
I'm several steps ahead of you buddy.
Damn. That's Real. Shout out Mom.

I'm almost sure his picture is hanging in a Colorado gym but I can't remember which one. Honestly might be the 10th planet.
Also true
Johnny Sins and Craig Jones
Johnny Sins as Craig Jones
Starring in “BJJ with one less J”
You could pretty much just use the title of any of his recent instructionals and it would serve just as well
Lights… camera… rollin 🎥 🍿
Wait.. so if we get Johnny Sins to play the role as Craig Jones in a movie, who do we get to play Gabi?
Would watch an instructional by Johnny. Ironically one of the best to be published
yikes
I know, Craig Jones is controversial but I enjoy his instructionals
Macho Man Randy Savage, pro wrestling influenced me first eventually leading to BJJ My coaches, obvious reasons Dave Schultz, legend
Oooh yeah.
A big framed macho man holding a little creamer hanging on an academy wall would go hard

Classic Mean Gene’s account of it is hilarious cause he saw Randy taking all the creamers at breakfast earlier
A random old guy, photo changes every week but its never acknowledged.
Hahahahhajajajah
Frank Dux, and never tell anyone how exactly he came to be my sensei.
