Our First Fully Developed Discipline
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is fully built and available today, with pathways including:
How Forgement Pathways Are Built
Forgement Pathways are structured development frameworks designed to provide direction and guidance, while recognizing that every academy and instructor may teach differently.
Forgement Pathways are developed through a combination of:
- Widely recognized BJJ skills, concepts, and progression principles
- Established training practices and structured research
- Practitioner feedback and input from experienced instructors
They are general development guides intended to support growth, not official promotion requirements or a replacement for your academy's instruction.
Important Disclaimer
Completion of a Forgement pathway does not guarantee promotion, rank advancement, certification, or qualification.
Advancement decisions remain solely at the discretion of an instructor, mentor, academy, organization, or governing body.
What to Expect
As Forgement grows, you can expect:
Forgement is actively being refined and improved based on real feedback from practitioners and mentors.
Mentor Support
Mentors Can:
- Review practitioner progress
- Verify skills
- Provide feedback
- Track development over time
- Support multiple practitioners
Practitioners Can:
- Connect with multiple mentors
- Receive guidance from different perspectives
- Maintain a complete Development Record
- Track progress across pathways
- Document their entire journey
The Future of Development
Today, Forgement provides structured development pathways for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
We are exploring ways for academies and experienced instructors to bring their own development frameworks into Forgement over time. This is not available today.
Ideas we are exploring for academies:
Over time, this could let Forgement support both Forgement Pathways and academy-created Pathways while keeping a consistent development experience.
Future Disciplines
Potential future areas include:
We grow through collaboration. If you have built proven systems for developing people in your field, we'd love to work with you. Learn about collaborating.
Help Shape the Future
Forgement is being built with its community, not just for it.
Users are encouraged to submit:
Feedback directly influences development priorities and future roadmap decisions.
How We Grow
Our purpose is not to maximize growth.
The purpose is to improve the platform responsibly while building a meaningful development experience.
Quality development systems take time to build.
We would rather improve deliberately than grow recklessly.
