    Has anyone ever “transferred” from a KMW facility to a non-KMW facility? If so, how was your experience? Did you need to start back at L1/white belt? Or did you have to test in order to demonstrate your proficiency?

    Its going to depend on the facility you transfer to. Most shouldn’t make a big deal about it.

    Re: Transferring to another (non-KMW) school?

    I transferred from a KMW school to a KMG school (no problem with the KMG school, which was great, just moved to a different city). At the time I was a KMW orange belt. Although the techniques at each school were pretty similar, there were enough small differences that I felt I should just start over and learn them. In hindsight, I wish I would have asked to test or place out of P1 so that I could have started sparring or taking the P2-P3 classes sooner. After being used to the fight class and the intermediate level class at the KMW school, I got a little burnt out doing 3 months of straight P1. Probably wouldn’t hurt to ask if you’re going to a new school.
