Curriculum Updates and Level 1 Test Clarification

09.13.13 By Patrick 1 Comment

Confused
There has been some confusion caused inadvertently by talk of changes in the Krav Maga Worlwide curricula. Adding to this was my update of the online Level 1 curriculum before we announced the Level 1 test, and then being too lazy to revert it. Here’s what you need to know…

The following techniques are new to the Level 1 curriculum but they will not be tested next week. We will be adding them to Fundamentals classes after this test.

  • Inside and Outside Chop
  • Headlock from Behind (Bar Arm or Carotid)

The following techniques are not new to the Level 1 curriculum but they will not be tested. But you should know them.

  • Eye Strike
  • Arm Pulls
  • Wrist Releases

There are changes and additions to almost all levels, and I will be updating our online versions soon.

Please post any questions below or on the test sign-up post.

Krav Maga Level 1 Test – Friday 09.20.13

08.29.13 By Patrick 2 Comments

KMW_007
We will be conducting a Level 1 test on Friday, September 20, 6pm. Depending on the number of students, the test typically takes 2-3 hours with minimal breaks. If you have trained all of the Level 1 curriculum and would like to test, please sign up using the form below.

All students are welcome to watch the test or participate alongside the students testing. Even if you’re not being graded, the test is an excellent review of the curriculum as well as an intense physical and mental challenge.

We will have prep classes as we near the test. Review the Level 1 Curriculum (read this clarification) and bring any questions to class so that we can help you best prepare. You can also post any questions to the comments below.

Good luck!
