Why do we hold real fights for grade examinations from green belt upwards ?
Since no one is obliged to pass the belt examinations, it is possible to train effortlessly to pass this test. For those who are really interested, it is essential that they show the necessary courage before obtaining the black belt. If you do not show courage you cannot practice Krav-Maga or at least not completely. Furthermore, during a fight, if one of the opponents is badly hurt, the follow-up must be very weak or else stopped entirely. If a dangerous move is susceptible to be given, it must be by simulation showing in this way proof of clear-mindedness, composure, self restraint and respect of others. Everything that an adept of martial arts must possess.
