Wow, that would be so tricky for me
I dont know any of the names in Hebrew LOL. Sounds like your training is going awesome though Bathsheba .. I may come to Israel in June to visit a guy named Moshe Katz from www.your-krav-maga-expert.com He seems pretty cool and has a relatively cheap program for people from the US to travel and train. There is some touring involved too which is another added bonus 0 -
Ooh, that sounds like a lot of fun. Let me know when you'll be in the Tel Aviv area!0

Another Kravist here. I just started training again after almost 5 months away.0

I wonder if the P, G, E grades are more of a Europe thing? We utilize belt colors here in the US (We dont actually have belts, but its more symbolic)
I am a blue belt and according to the other scale I'd be around a G3 I guess.
I'm nervous about Brown belt as there is still some things to perfect. I honestly never heard of Black belt as my school teaches up to Brown only.0 -
Just thought I'd let you all know that the masterclass on Saturday was awesome and I had an amazing time! I even got "volunteered" by my instructor to talk on camera and say what I love about Krav! Eek! I'm sure I looked like a fool, but I don't care! It was a brilliant day and I met some amazing people! :happy:0

Black belt's invite only in most of the major organizations, and generally not offered to student practitioners. We use a level and belt system where I am (KMWW), and my current understanding is that to become a black belt, you'll want to start by becoming an instructor first.0 -

From what I understand, Imi originally used the belt system, then later on started using patches (P, G, E).
I'm with an IKMF affiliated club and we use P, G, E as do KMG (which came from an internal split with the organisation that is now IKMF)
As for predominantly European, can't honestly say, but I know there are quite a few IKMF clubs in the Far East0 -
I'm IKMA-affiliated (or, as we call it, KAMI), and we do belts.0

That makes sense as to why I have not seen any black belt tests or anything. Brown is our highest, I assume I'd have to go to another facility for the black belt....I'm not that worried about it however, as I dont plan on instructing ever. Once I get my brown belt, I will be very happy. 0
