Two Ways To Train
With Forged
Both formats run on the same development framework: evaluate, prescribe, drill, and hold accountable. What changes is who else is on the floor.
One player, one coach, 60 minutes on the two or three things holding your game back.
Groups matched by age and level. Same teaching, plus someone competing for the same rep.
