I am pleased to announce that the USA Taekwondo Referee Seminar sanctioned by USA Taekwondo will be hosted by :
Chung's Tae Kwon Do Institute
9191 E. Frontage Rd
Palmer, AK 99645
907-746-7665
February 17, 2018 from 9am to 5pm.
Cost is $50
Topics covered in this seminar include:
1) Creative Poomsae, Kyukpa & Weapons Scoring Criteria
2) Sport Poomsae Scoring Criteria
3) Kyorugi Scoring Criteria
4) Hand Signals for Center Referees
5) Ring Management & Bracketing
Taking this seminar and then refereeing the tournament will provide you with even more credit towards your next referee rank promotion. These opportunities are not available all the time, especially in Alaska, so I hope to see many of you participating not only in the seminar but in the Alaska Presidents Cup as well. The seminar will be a great introduction for first time referees to see the full spectrum of judging as well as a valuable opportunity for our more senior officials to lend their experiences and perspective from the most recent National Championships.
Requirements for First Time Applicants
The seminar requirements are the same as in previous years. Applicants for referee certification MUST:
1) Be 16 years of age or older,
2) Have earned 1st degree black belt or higher, (must submit a copy of Dan certificate at seminar)
3) Be USA Taekwondo athlete/coach/referee member, (must submit a copy of proof of membership)
4) Wear dobok, and
5) Pay seminar fee to "USA Taekwondo" ($50 by Money Order, Cashier's Check, or Credit Card only; Cash or Personal Checks will NOT be accepted under any circumstance).
Due to many recent changes in the Competition Rules,
Coaches and Athletes are welcome to audit the course free of charge in order to offer everyone the opportunity to learn and discuss the new rule implications on Alaska Competition.
Please contact me directly by email or phone at 907-982-7256 if you have any questions regarding the referee seminar.
