US Grappling is pleased to announce our first Referee's Certification Clinic on Sunday, September 23. The clinic will last from noon until 6 PM. It will be held at the Revolution BJJ academy, in Richmond, VA. Visit www.revolutionbjj.com for the location.

Anyone can observe the class, but we are limiting the number of actual referee candidates. To be considered, you must hold at least a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and must provide a letter of recommendation from another referee, coach, or instructor. You must also have competition experience.

If you are interested in attending the clinic, send a PM to goatfury or to me, and include the following:

Name
Belt rank
Competition experience
Name of a referee/coach/instructor that will provide a recommendation for you (and his/her contact information)

The Referee's Certification Clinic will cover common issues faced by referees and the proper way to handle such situations, proper scoring, "owning" your mat, protecting competitors, and many more topics. Before the day is through, all candidates will ref live matches, and will be critiqued on their performance. In order to learn to be a ref, one must actually do some reffing!

If you are interested in observing the clinic, or in helping out by rolling as you are scored by a referee, please send a PM to me, so I can put you on our list.
