Requirements for the advancement in Rank in
ICMAUA
The main thing for the advancement in the
Combat Martial Arts is the level of the combat martial training. I.e. the ability of applying the technique, psychology, and philosophy of Combat Martial Arts to the real fight or self-defense
as well as to the real life.
It is difficult to define the real Combat
Martial Arts skill level at the formal exam. The level of the Combat Martial
Arts is not always connected with success in sports, victories in sparring,
difficulty of the performed technique or the number of the performed forms.
We know the accident when
the world champion in judo, black belt of highest rank, was killed near his
apartment when was not able to defend himself from the enemy with a knife.
There was one more accident when two robbers with a gun attacked the ordinary
man not a sportsman and beat him. But he managed to seize the knife and stab
them to death.
It is difficult to define the real level the
combat training. People fight according to the rules at competitions, we care
ourselves and our friends at the exams and trainings, it means that the only
technique performed is the technique on a bag, but very limited and imaginary
when fighting with partner.
That is why ICMAUA considers real fight and
battle perfection the criterion for the advancement in Rank. Real experience is
acquired in real self-defense which is difficult to foresee. Experience is
gained during quite a long time of training. The main criterion for advancement
should
be time in grade, years of service, plus of course
other technical requirements.
