What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Stanley Okazaki

"I am the handsome Purple belt on the far left of the group photo. My looks aside the Forge is an awesome place to train. Professor Ryan is a passionate & technical Black Belt with a lifetime of grappling knowledge. The curriculum is less sporty and more pragmatic but remains current and effective. The teens and kids programs really do a great job of building up the students & the adult program has a good group of men and women that enjoy the hobby of training Martial Arts as well as those who love to compete."

Marvin Becker

"Coach Seth was awesome and welcoming. We were there on vacation. My family of four visited Forge Martial Arts while there and received friendly welcome, great techniques, specific training, and got to roll. We will definitely visit again when in the area."

Mallorie Mackey

"I love the Forge and what it stands for-they don't just "make" athletes, they provide a way for them to grow and learn!! My littles struggled with confidence and various issues, but have improved 100% in more ways than one! I'm so grateful for our Forge Family"

Kayla Scartaccini

"This is the place to be in Pagosa. My kids have been going to the forge since 2022. All 3 have advanced in their jiujitsu skills, character, responsibility, and morality in huge leaps and bounds. They not only learned an amazing skill that they will carry with them for the rest of their life but have made life long friends and deep lasting bonds with their mentors. My husband and I also participate in the striking/boxing, kickboxing and have been so fortunate to get to be trained by some of Pagosa’s finest martial artists. Morganne and Ryan, Arianna, Erica, John, and many others have made and leave an everlasting effect on all our lives. We are truly grateful to be apart of the forge family."
