The Referee Clinic was held November 16th at Ogdens Judo Club in Bellflower. This clinic was my sensei's first time running a referee clinic. He is a nationally ranked referee, making him one of the top referees. Holding this clinic he taught many of the rules of Judo and how to interpret them in a match. After this 4 hour lesson everyone who attended this clinic took a test to become a local referee. After taking this test at most clinics, would be followed by a in person test, which consist of refereeing a Judo match in front of a Sensei Gary, or a nationally raked referee. Due to the fact there was no tournament right after nor was there a small local tournament to go to, we came back to the dojo to finish the test. On November 28th.
I do believe I will change my component one to the topic of refereeing. as this will be easier to do, I am also refereeing at the Winter Nationals though I am only a Regional referee. This is because even before I was certified I was refereeing, because other referees noticed my interest in reffing.
