Reminder: No Street Shoes!
It’s about that time again to remind everyone to please bring a pair of dedicated mat shoes to class. NO STREET SHOES.
Marc has been consistently finding dirt, rocks, and twigs on the mats. This is not good for cleanliness nor safety. Keep in mind, too, that we train in shoes, the Kenpo classes do not. Or, if that doesn’t make you care, think about how clean and gravel-free you would like the mats for when we train groundfighting.
Having a pair of mat shoes is especially important as we draw ever nearer to the sloppy weather of fall and winter. While you may invite the opportunity to train some impromptu fall breaks, your classmates might not!
In summary, if you won’t do it for the barefoot kids, your training partners, or even yourself, please do it for Marc!
Also, while we’re on the subject of attire, don’t forget that you should be wearing either a Krav Maga Worldwide shirt, a plain white shirt, or a plain black shirt. Krav shirts are available for purchase at the school or online from KMW-approved vendors.
Curriculum Updates and Level 1 Test Clarification
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
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!
