Hah, that's the book I was talking about, I already have both that and the Beginners book.

I train in an IKMF gym. Practitioner Level 1 (P1) grading for us is:

  • A: History of Krav Maga and its Founder: Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld). Not emphasized that much
  • B: Safety in Training and Vulnerable Points
  • C: Stances and Movements: Passive/semi passive. Fighting stance. Moving in fighting stance
  • D: Straight punches: Palm-heel strike. Left/right closed fist
  • E: Elbow strikes - Horizontal: Inward, sideways, backwards
  • F: Hammer punches. Horizontal: Sideways/backwards, Vertical: Forwards/downwards/backwards and up
  • G. Kicks: Knee kick straight up, regular front kick, side kick (looks like this used to be defensive back kick in earlier versions)
  • H: Combination of attacks in all directions, all P1 techniques
  • I: Outside defenses (360) - downwards, upwards, circurlar knife attacks. With counter attack
  • J: Inside defenses vs straight punches - with counter attack. From semi-passive
  • K: Prevention - by kicking, by punching/inside defense, "educational stop"
  • L: Release from chokes, plucking: Front/side/behind
  • M: Release from headlock: side
  • N: Getting up from the ground: forwards/backwards/turn to sprint
  • O: Release from choke from the side while on the ground
  • P: Soft break-fall to a wall
  • Q: Using common objects as weapons for self defense - shield type objects
  • R: Simulation and tactics - zombie game (prevention + choke release) and searching and attacking - 2 attackers with punch pads.

    If you're interested in all P levels (1-5) I can find them when I get home after the weekend, as I have them on paper somewhere (currently P3 myself, which I guess equals an orange belt)

    Edit: clarifications

I bought two books from Amazon in July 2011--They not only saved me from Critical-fatal injury 3 times, but gave me self confidence.
Although I studied most from the "Complete Krav Maga..." This edition includes Simple stretch preparations in case ones body is not entirely on par with the forms required range of motion.
