Guest Post Guidelines

Last Update: 4/30/2025

We're always excited to feature voices from the martial arts community. If you're a writer, practitioner, or enthusiast with something valuable to say, we’d love to help you share your work—and your passion—with our audience.

We don’t pay for guest contributions, but if your article is engaging, insightful, and relevant, we’ll promote it with the same energy and visibility as any other story on Combatpit.com. You'll also be able to include a link to your website and/or social media profile.

If you're not promoting ideas or sharing personal experiences — and are instead focused solely on promoting a specific product or service (whether it's your own or on behalf of someone else) — that type of content is considered commercial. Please refer to our Ads page for more information.

The editorial team will determine whether a submission qualifies as a guest post or a commercial post. Combatpit genuinely hopes contributors will respect these guidelines so we can continue accepting guest posts from fellow martial artists.
