Testing procedure

For every level, you will go through several MidTerms, level workshop and a final Test. 

Once you have completed all the necessary trainings, you will be eligible for the Test.  

Krav Maga Exam

Krav Maga Exams are designed to push you to your limit. Unlike Midterms, Tests are very intense experiences that help you prove your ability to perform under stress. You will leave the test with a deeper understanding of the techniques and, more importantly, a deeper understanding of yourself. 

You can expect a Level 1 test to last approximately 1.5 - 2 hours.

Krav Maga Dress Code

We ask that you wear a REFLEX Club t-shirt and any appropriate training pants or shorts.  We do wear wrestling shoes during training. Please, no hard-soled shoes on the mats. You should a mouth piece and groin protection (for men is strongly, strongly recommended)!
