Forgement Pathways
Know where you are. Know what to work on next.
Forgement Pathways organize widely recognized BJJ skills, concepts, and progression principles into structured development frameworks. They give your training direction without claiming there is only one correct way to progress.
Structure, not rigidity
A clear way to organize your development
Every practitioner, instructor, and academy approaches development differently. Pathways give you a shared structure to organize and track your growth, so you can see what you have worked on and where to focus next.
Organize & track
See your development laid out clearly and keep track of what you have practiced over time.
Direction without dogma
Pathways point to what you might work on next without claiming a single right way to progress.
Built around your training
Forgement complements the instruction you receive on the mats. It never tries to replace it.
A Framework - Not a Curriculum
Every academy teaches BJJ differently. Forgement Pathways aren't designed to tell your instructor what or how to teach. They provide a structured framework for organizing your development alongside the instruction you receive on the mats.
Your coach provides the instruction. Forgement helps you organize the journey.
The Pathway experience
Everything you need to develop with intention
Pathways connect the tools you already use to grow, turning everyday training into a record you can actually see.
Belt-based Pathways
Skills and concepts organized around the belt structure practitioners already recognize, so progression feels familiar.
Skills & concepts
Widely recognized techniques, positions, and principles grouped into a clear, navigable framework.
Practiced skill tracking
Mark what you have drilled and rolled so your development reflects real time on the mats.
Mentor verification
A coach or training partner can confirm skills, adding trusted context to your record.
Training history & reflections
Journal sessions and revisit them later to see how your understanding has grown.
ForgeIQ recommendations
Personalized suggestions surface areas worth developing next, based on what you have worked on.
A note on belts:Pathways help you organize and track your development. They don't award or determine your belt rank. Promotion always remains the responsibility of your instructor and academy.
Built to Grow With Academies
Forgement believes instructors should remain at the center of practitioner development. We're actively exploring ways for academies and experienced instructors to bring their own development frameworks and curricula into Forgement.
