Upon completion of KM Level 2, students must pass a demanding test into KM Level 3.  This level continues to build upon skills learned but at a higher level of combatives and defenses that deal with more complex, unarmed street assaults. The students continue to train on strikes, defenses against strikes, and self-defense, including more advanced techniques that involve defending against weapons such as knives, guns, and sticks.

Students who train two to three times per week should expect to be ready to test for KM Level 4 in nine months.
