Testing procedure
For every level, you will go through several MidTerms and a final Test.
We run a Midterm review every month. At the Midterm, you will be asked to demonstrate basic proficiency in the techniques covered during the last three months. You must successfully complete each Midterm for that level. Once you have completed all the necessary Midterms, you will be eligible for the Test.

Workshops and Tests: testing days are composed of two separate parts – the workshop and the test.
Workshops provide a good opportunity to sharpen your techniques right before the test. Instructors will review the techniques and you should feel free to ask questions if you’re not sure how the technique should be performed.
Workshop Level 1
Woensdag 21 oktober 19:00 - 21:30 Synthia Stoffer
Tests are designed to push you to your limit. Unlike Midterms, Tests are very intense experiences that help you prove your ability to perform under stress. You will leave the test with a deeper understanding of the techniques and, more importantly, a deeper understanding of yourself.
You can expect a Level 1 test to last approximately 1.5 hours; Level 2 will be approximately 2 hours; and Level 3 may be as long as 3 hours. Upper level tests are longer (and therefore much more rewarding!).
Krav Maga Dress Code
We ask that you wear a REFLEX Club t-shirt and any appropriate training pants or shorts. We do wear wrestling shoes during training. Please, no hard-soled shoes on the mats. You should consider investing a few euros in a mouth piece.
Groin protection for men is strongly, strongly recommended!
For Level 2 and above, you will need to purchase the following items: Boxing Gloves and Shin Guards. We advise you to think about MMA Gloves for ground fighting and headgear for full contact sparring as well.
