At Forge, we believe every student is designed by God for greatness. Our mission is to help them forge that greatness—on purpose—through integrity, self-discipline, leadership, and resilience .

Forge Pagosa is a faith-based training center that combines martial arts, gymnastics, and movement with spiritual and character formation. We’re not just teaching kicks, flips, and skills—we’re shaping who kids are becoming.

• Our Forge Creed and 4 pillars (Leadership, Integrity, Self-Discipline, Resilience: DRIL) are the backbone of our culture.

• We teach students to live out:

  • “I win when you win” – leadership through service, surrender, and sacrifice.

  • “I go the extra mile” – self-discipline, initiative, and excellence.

  • “I am unstoppable” – resilience under pressure and spiritual warfare.

  • “I am the impossible” – walking by faith into God-sized purpose.

  • “I am the Forge” – embracing their identity as children of God and representatives of His light.

• We use martial arts, gymnastics, and functional movement as tools to teach a deeper truth:

  • “I am my choices” – my integrity and daily decisions shape who I become.

  • “My choices create my life” – step by step, I build a path of purpose.

  • “My life changes the world” – I am called to impact others with the greatness God has put in me.

• Everything we do points students back to Jesus as the Master Forger—the One shaping their character in the “fire” of challenge, discipline, and growth.

Our martial arts program trains courage, respect, focus, and controlled power.

Our gymnastics and movement programs give kids a fun, challenging space to build strength, coordination, confidence, and body awareness—while hearing the same message:
