No shortcuts. Every rank is validated through demonstrated performance under pressure.
Testing covers Krav Maga, Kickboxing, and BJJ — competence across all three is required.
Advanced and Black Belt tests are judged by a panel of certified 360 evaluators — not your own instructor alone.
Seven Belts. One Standard.
The 360 belt system runs from White to Black. Each rank builds on the last — technically, physically, and in self-defense application.
Foundation — entry level. Introduction to Krav Maga principles, basic striking, and BJJ fundamentals.
Developing core technique across all three disciplines. Basic self-defense scenarios and controlled sparring.
Intermediate striking combinations, BJJ positional control, and applied Krav Maga under light pressure.
Advanced combinations, guard work, and multi-attacker awareness. Increased live training intensity.
High-level proficiency across all disciplines. Sparring, scenario defense, and weapon fundamentals.
Pre-black belt mastery. Demonstrates all curriculum levels and begins instructor-level understanding.
Elite rank — mastery of the full 360 system. Rigorous 2-day panel evaluation by certified 360 Black Belts.
Black Belt Degrees
Earning your Black Belt is the beginning, not the end. The 360 degree system recognizes continued mastery, teaching, and contribution to the network over time.

1st Degree — Awarded upon passing the Black Belt test. 2nd Degree — Minimum 3 years after 1st. 3rd Degree — Minimum 4 years after 2nd. 4th Degree and beyond — Minimum 5 years per degree. Time alone does not guarantee promotion — active contribution to the 360 network is required at every level.
