BROWN BELT

Brown Belt is the final level before the Black Belt test. At our Krav Maga
Worldwide certified schools, you will sometimes see this listed as “Level 5,”
which denotes classes designed for Brown Belts, Black Belts, and above. At this
level you will continue to learn to defend against guns, knives, and sticks. The
angles of attack become harder to deal with, and the stress level increases, but

because this is Krav Maga, the principles remain the same. In addition to
handguns, in the firearms section we learn to deal with long guns such as
shotguns and assault rifles. Expect to train at least 12 months at this level,
assuming a minimum of two training sessions per week. By the end of Brown
Belt training, you should feel that you can stand in the middle of a room, eyes
closed, and be able to defend against any sort of attack: a bearhug, a choke, even
an attack with a weapon.
