Krama or Kroma is like a belt in Martial Arts like Taekwondo or Karate, The level of a Krama starts from:


White
Green
Blue
Red
Brown
Black
Gold



To attain these Krama it at least take 5 months at least for the grading test. And in-order to wear the Gold Krama, one must at least wear the Krama for another 10 years with 2 condition which is doing something great for the name of Bokator and being a true master. The uniform of a practitioner is the same as the ancient uniforms of Khmer armies.
Speaking of the Krama, Krama is actually a farmer's scaft and it was used as a grading belf for Bokarto pratitioners. The Krama is used by the farmers for self defence and is still used by them until today.
