P-Level Grading Requirements | P级别等级考试要求

The P1 exam is the very first Practitioner level (P-level) grading under the KMG system. You will be tested on all strikes and techniques under the P1 curriculum (if you are taking the exam, please email us for P1 curriculum). These cover the most basic strikes and defenses for common attacks coming from the front. There are also some basic rolls and falls.

Passing a level exam is about cementing your abilities and growing in the system. It means you should be able to execute the strikes and defenses that you learned in this level with confidence, and react quickly and correctly if you are presented with the relevant problems/attacks. It also means you improve your understanding of the system, and the logic behind the techniques you are training. Finally, this also means you are maturing as a practitioner and a person, and bear the good training attitude, humility, and strength of character that is expected of KMG practitioners.

Under KMG China’s school, students who pass the exams are given access to the corresponding next level classes. In the international KMG community, passing a level means you will start at that level should you transfer to another school in our global network.

P1等级考试是KMG系统下操练者级别（Practitioner）的第一级，入门级考试。所有P1等级考试细则中涉及的技能都会被考核（如报考，请邮件我们索取细则）。这些技能包括基本击打、常见前方袭击应对，以及基本翻滚和摔技。

通过等级考试，意味着有系统地成长和巩固自己能力。这意味着你有能力做到这个级别学到的击打和防御技能，并且对相关情景能快速准确地做出反应。这意味着你对KMG这套系统、以及技能背后的逻辑有了更深的了解。最后，这还意味着你作为一位成熟的KMG操练者，秉承良好的训练态度，胸怀谦逊，具有人格力量。

在KMG中国，通过考试的学生会获得参与高级别课程的权限。在国际上，通过等级考试，意味着如果你转入另一个国家的KMG学校，可以从通过考试的等级继续学习。

The exams can range from anything from 3 hours to 5.5 hours. This largely depends on the number of people and the performance of the examinees.

There will be some short breaks (5 to 10 minutes), but otherwise examinees will be asked to perform techniques continuously for the whole time. Examinees must also stay for the whole duration of the exam, or else drop out of the test.

考试时间在三小时~五个半小时之间。这很大程度上取决于考生数量和表现。

有短时间的中途休息（五分钟~十分钟不等）。考生需要全程在场，否则视为放弃考试。

All of our exams require months of preparation and training. We have the requirements in place because students simply cannot “wing it” during exams, as they will most certainly fail and very possibly even hurt the performance of their exam partner. While some students who have prepared for the exams have also failed in the past, we do not accept people who are completely unprepared as it is also a waste of the examiner’s time and a discourtesy to those who have actually worked hard to be there. We ask that if you are interested in taking our exams, you abide by our rules.

In KMG, P1 is when you are developing the self-defense mindset and attitude, and you are improving your understanding of the system. You are also laying the foundations in terms of skills and reactions, on which you will build the next level of techniques. Krav Maga is a progressive system, so if your P1 foundational techniques are rocky, your higher level techniques will only become sloppy later on.

我们所有的考试均要求数月的备考和训练。明文规定要求考生不能蒙混过关或者即兴发挥。有时，有备而来的考生仍然无法通过考试。但我们更不能接受完全毫无准备、心怀侥幸的考生，因为这是对考生本人和教练时间的浪费，也是对其他考生的无礼。如果您想报考，请了解我们的原则。

在KMG系统里，P1等级是操练者锻炼自卫意识和态度、加深系统理解的阶段。并且，你会为下一阶段学习技能和练习反应打牢基础。马伽术学习是一个渐进的系统，需要一步一个脚印。

No. There are no shortcuts to learning and developing the mentality for Krav Maga, especially on the primary grading levels. As such, we ask people to take exams one by one to ensure that they know each level’s techniques by heart. There are very rare occasions where we have allowed people to test multiple levels, however those individuals typically have been through special training circumstances or have trained with us regularly for several years before they took their exams. Members are asked to put in the proper amount of training time for each level exam, to ensure they earn their grades properly. If you pass your current exam, you will be given notice of the requirements for the next level of testing. Please note that requests for taking multiple level exams at once will not be entertained.

不可以。学习马伽术无捷径。尤其在初期，更需要打牢基础，一步一步来。除了极少数特殊情况，我们不允许学员连续报考。学员需要在报考前完成一定数量的训练课时。如果通过了考试，学员将获得下一级的考试要求。请勿盲目要求连续报考。

Wait for the next exam. Take your time, start training, and try to make the requirements in time for next exam. Gradings are not about a race to collect certificates and higher “honors”: it is about genuine learning and growing as Krav Maga practitioner, and being the best person and practitioner you can be.

静候下一次考试。不要着急，踏实训练就好。等级考试不是一个收集证书的无聊比赛，而是为了真正的学习，为了成长为优秀的马伽术操练者，成长为更好的自己。

Of course you can. While we do encourage people to take the exams and grow in the system, if you simply want to come and enjoy the regular open classes, you are most welcome to do so. We do not give members any pressure to grade, and we make the effort to help you learn the most in the open classes regardless of your plans (or non-plans) for training Krav Maga in the future.

当然可以。我们鼓励学生参加考试，系统性成长。但是如果你只愿意上常规课，不参加考试，也完全没有问题。我们不会给学员参与考试的压力。无论你是否是考生，我们都会在常规课中帮助你努力学习。

We cannot simply convert your current grade, but there is a possibility for you to test on a similar level and earn your grade by passing our level tests. There a few internationally-recognized organizations that share similar level curriculums with KMG. If you came from one such system (contact us to determine this), the head instructor will evaluate you for testing.

Typically, other organizations do not share our curriculum or testing standards. As such, it is advisable to first train regularly with us over a longer period of time to see what you may or may not know, and then contact us for evaluation for testing.

我们不能简单转换。但是很可能我们会安排你参加一个KMG系统里近似水平的等级考试，通过考试即获得等级。有一些国际组织有类似KMG的课程。如果你来自这样的组织，请提前联系我们，教练会为你的考级评估。

显然，还有一些机构与KMG的课程和测试标准都不一样。我们建议您先与我们训练一段时间，再考虑考级评估。
