Lion's Den is currently broken up into three classes: Beginner's, Intermediate and Advanced.
Grapplers in these classes will start with the same 15 basic moves (See "Beginner's App"). Each week, these characters have the chance to learn one of three moves. These grapplers can either replace one of their original 15 moves with one of the new moves. Or, if they don't like the moves that week, don't feel it'd fit their character, etc... then they can decline to learn one of the moves for that week. Those in the Beginner Class will usually fight each other (although they can square off against people in the higher classes). Those in the Intermediate & Advanced Classes can fight each other. After 8 weeks worth of learned moves, grapplers that pass this class will be promoted to the Intermediate Class.
This class is for either a) rookies who have been promoted from Beginner to Intermediate or b) grapplers with some level of in-ring experience. Regardless of the situation, this class will continue to allow all you the opportunity to learn one of three moves each week for eight weeks. However, the difference between this class and the Beginner Class is that this class will allow you to learn or add up to five signature moves, as well as an additional five Common Moves. In theory, these grapplers can take some of the moves they learned in the Beginner Class and move them into one of the Signature spots. Or they could take some of the moves they replaced and bring them back to fill out the rest of their Common Moves. For people who have characters with some experience (and their own per-existing moveset), they can also use this opportunity to learn new moves. Or, they can simply skip them. Their choice.

Advanced Class
Instructor: Chris Bond
The Advanced Class is for a) people who have been promoted from the Intermediate Class after 8 weeks or b) grapplers with some level of in-ring experience, but have invited to join the "Advanced Class" or the "Intermediate Class." The Advance Class offers grapplers the opportunity to learn up to three Finishing Moves. In addition, members of the Advance Class will usually be in the upper card of any LDFC show. They'll also be one of the first to be given a Dark Match on one of the FGA shows. Since the word limit for developmental is only 800 words, these dark matches would also be only 800 words. Once the grapplers in the advanced class have passed, they can either move up to the main roster or continue to hone their skills in developmental.Instructor: Chris Bond
