A ladder, not a feed
Every discipline has its own skill ladder from Tier 0 to Tier 4. You always know the next skill, and the app is built around getting there, not around scrolling.
Learn a craft in person. Keep the proof.
Follow the disciplines you practice, climb a real skill ladder, and collect cards that a named instructor signed off on after watching you do the skill. Shibari, fitness, yoga, pilates, calisthenics, running and more.
- Free account, no invite needed
- Skills verified in person
- Your cards travel with you
How Arsclepius helps you
Proof that means something
An instructor watches you do a skill and signs it off. The card carries their name and the date. Nobody can hand themselves one.
Cards that travel
Your skills live on your profile, not inside any one class. Move city or switch instructor and a new teacher sees what you know and who checked it.
Learn online, transfer in person
Courses cover theory and drills at your own pace. Sessions and workshops are where the craft transfers. Both feed the same XP and levels.
A reason to show up
Every discipline starts a Seedling. It grows when you practice and fades when you stop. A small companion with an honest memory.
Your people
Say what you practice and who you are looking for: a training partner, a rope partner, a coach. Buy tickets to workshops and jams, or join an instructor's cohort.
The systems you can use
Each one is live today. What it is, and how you use it.
Disciplines and skill ladders
One ladder per discipline, every skill placed on a tier from Tier 0 to Tier 4. Shibari is the deepest today; the fitness family, yoga and pilates have full ladders too.
How you use it: Follow a discipline at signup or later. Mark the skills you are working on as Focus so they sit first on your Home screen.
Verified cards
A card is one skill, one instructor, one date. It is created when an instructor signs off a skill they watched you do.
How you use it: Join an instructor's experience or attend their session. When you can do the skill, they verify it and it appears on your profile with their name on it.
XP and levels
Practice earns XP, and XP moves your level inside each skill. Practice logs, drills from a practice sheet, online lessons and checked-in events all count.
How you use it: Log a practice session from Home, finish a course lesson, or check in at an event with your ticket. The level moves on its own.
Discipline pets
One pet per discipline that reflects whether you have been showing up. It starts as a Seedling.
How you use it: Practice, and it grows. Stop for a while, and it fades. Come back, and it recovers. What the later stages look like is yours to find.
Practice sheets and logs
Structured practice: drills with sets, reps, tempo, rest and session times, in four formats built for different kinds of training. Scores are kept.
How you use it: Follow a sheet an instructor or community has set, or log a session of your own. Each logged drill lands on the matching skill card.
Courses
Online lessons with video, text and drills, built by instructors on the platform. Some are free, some are paid.
How you use it: Browse courses without an account. Enrol, work through the lessons at your pace, and the XP goes to the same skills as your in-person work.
Events and tickets
Workshops, jams, classes and shows with tickets, Stripe payment and QR check-in. You can buy a ticket without an account.
How you use it: Find an event in Explore, buy the ticket, show the QR code at the door. A checked-in event counts toward your XP.
People search
Find people by what they practice and what they are seeking. It is opt-in, and it never uses your location.
How you use it: Set what you practice and what you are looking for in Settings, then search from Explore.
Messages
Direct messages, and group chat inside the experiences you join. Message bodies are encrypted at rest.
How you use it: Open a conversation from a profile, an event or a cohort.
Your account, your data
Two-factor sign-in, privacy settings, a full export of your data, and a self-service delete that removes your account.
How you use it: All of it lives in Settings. None of it needs an email to support.
Straight answers
The limits, before you find them yourself.
A card is a word, not a certificate
A verified card is one instructor's word about one skill on one day. It is not a safety certificate, and it does not make anyone qualified to teach.
Not every level is verified
XP and levels move with your own practice logs, courses and events. Only a card an instructor signed carries a name. The two are shown differently on purpose.
No 'near me' for people
People search matches on practice and seeking, never on distance. Events have a radius filter; people do not.
Some crafts are adult
Disciplines that involve nudity or kink sit behind an age gate. You will be asked for your date of birth before that content shows.
Questions people ask
Does it cost anything to be a student?
No. An account is free and needs no invite. You pay only for what you buy: a ticket, a paid course, a session, or a subscription an instructor sells.
Do I need to know anything before I start?
No. Every ladder starts at Tier 0. Pick the disciplines you want, and the first skills are the ones a beginner learns first.
Which disciplines are there?
Shibari has the deepest ladder today. Fitness, yoga, pilates, powerlifting, strength training, olympic weightlifting, calisthenics, running, cycling and swimming have full ladders too. Aerial, muay thai, scuba and others are seeded and growing.
What happens if I stop for a while?
Your cards and levels stay. Your pet fades, and recovers when you come back. Nothing is deleted for inactivity.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on phone and desktop, and you can install it to your home screen like an app, with push notifications if you want them.
Who can see my profile?
Privacy settings in your account control what your profile shows and whether you appear in people search. Nobody is listed there by default.
