As the year comes to a close, we want to recognise what has been a massive year of growth for Forged Grappling.
This year we’ve welcomed new members into the team. Every new face on the mat strengthens the group, and we’re proud of the culture and standard that’s forming here.
We’ve also seen well-earned belt promotions across the squad. Alongside our blue, purple, and brown belts awarded throughout the year, two team members were promoted to black belt after decades of training. These new belts will be tested in 2026 — on the mats and in the cage — and they will represent who we are as a team.
Those belts aren’t handed out. They’re earned through hard work, suffering, and determination. Every promotion reflects not only technical development, but character.
To everyone who’s joined us, trained with us, competed and supported the team — thank you.
2026 is already shaping up to be something special.
We’re just getting started.
