Testing &Midterms

Our structured curriculum and comprehensive testing process are designed to guide you every step of the way. Here’s what you need to know.

Curriculum Structure

Level 1 — Laying the Foundation

Sections A & B cover the basics of self-defense, fighting stances, and movement. A comprehensive test at the end of Level 1 ensures you’ve grasped these foundational skills.

L2–6

Levels 2–6 — Advancing Your Skills

Each level is divided into four sections (A, B, C, D), gradually introducing more complex techniques and strategies. These levels cover advanced strikes, defenses, weapon handling, and high-risk situation management.

Testing & Midterms
