In the Level 2 intermediate class, students are taught more advance techniques and the workouts and drills are more intense. Students continue to review and hone their KM Level 1 skills, as well as learn additional punches and kicks, punch defenses with counterattacks, kick defenses, and defenses against various chokes, headlocks, and bear hugs. Students who train an average of two to three times per week should expect to complete the curriculum for this level in six months and may then qualify to test into KM Level 3.
