Level 1 curriculum

[freelancer]

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this posted before but the search function returns an error for me.

I’m looking for the criteria/skills that are required to pass level 1. If anyone can lead me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

They may be listed somewhere on the main site, but not sure. There is also a curriculum booklet that your school should have. Also, John’s book shows all of the required techniques in detail ( \”Complete Krav Maga\” by John Whitman and Darren Levine).
