Krav Maga Level Classes

Krav Maga is usually taught as a graded curriculum — commonly Level 1 through 5, or a Practitioner P1–P5 system — where each level builds on the one before. Level classes group students by where they are: Level 1 covers the fundamentals — stance, movement, basic strikes, and releases from the most common grabs — while higher levels add defenses against more complex attacks, multiple attackers, and weapons, along with more demanding conditioning and pressure-testing. The system gives you a clear path and a way to measure progress, with periodic testing to move up. Newcomers start at Level 1 (or a fundamentals class), and there is no rush — people advance at their own pace. Expect a structured, progressive path, expect each level to assume the one before it, and check with the school about how its levels and testing work, since systems vary by affiliation. The 137 schools below offer level classes (Level 1–5) — use the map to find the closest one, or browse by state.
