What is the uniform for Krav Maga?

Adult Beginner Class

For those in the beginner class, the only thing you need to have for your uniform is the black Krav Maga t-shirt that we provide you at the start of the session.

Adult Intermediate & Advanced Class

For those in the intermediate and advanced classes, your uniform is the Krav Maga t-shirt and solid black pants or shorts with your IKMF Krav Maga oval patch, and your yellow rank patch below the oval patch, both above the left knee. We highly recommend sewing on the velcro backing of the patches so that they are securely attached to your pants, and so you can switch out your rank patch for the next level when you pass your next exam.

Here's an example of what the uniform should look like:

Kids and Teens

Kids and Teens in the Junior Krav Maga program wear a white Krav Maga t-shirt (given on the first day of class). This is their uniform for the class.

Once they take their first test, they will be given a rank patch which must be attached to their clothing as part of their uniform.

For KIDS: The velcro backing of the rank patch should be sewn on the right sleeve of the white Krav Maga t-shirt. This allows a new patch to be attached without having to sew it on every time.

For TEENS: The velcro backing of the rank patch should be sewn on the left pant/short leg (on solid black pants/shorts), about 2 inches above the left knee.
