Grading System

The Krav Maga grading is divided into 4 categories these are Practitioner, Graduate, Expert and Master. There are also Military and Law Enforcement Level instructors (not shown). Each level has it own badges of merit and are colour coded as described.

All Institute students are able to attend regular gradings held here in the UK. All gradings are conducted by the expert members of the IKMF global training team. The Institute holds extensive and detailed pre-grading seminars as well as a mock grading to ensure students are fully prepared well in advance.

In order to test for their first grade, students need to have been training in the Krav Maga system for a minimum of 3 months prior to the date of the grading.
