The Krav Maga curriculum is logically organized by way of a progressive testing system, however the promulgation and distribution of belts/levels is certainly not the goal of the system. The Krav Maga belt testing system has not only been carefully conceived, but has been designed to motivate student 
participants, and foster and encourage a positive learning atmosphere. Most importantly, the belt system aids in the overall organization of subject matter and curriculum within existing class levels. The most important goal is to help you develop the ability to quickly and efficiently defend against any conceivable threat to you, a friend, or a family member. The important thing is to attain the actual ability to perform realistic defenses against a variety of attacks. Thus while achieving an advanced belt level is important, it should be secondary to your pursuit of knowledge.
