This course is perfect for anyone wishing to referee at BJJ tournaments, competitors or anyone simply wishing to improve their knowledge of IBJJF rules.

Those attending will have the option to take a theory exam to attain a Level 3 refereeing qualification.

The course will involve a mixture of theory and practical work. Students on the course will undertake the role of a referee and that of a competitor in simulated contest situations (not sparring!). You are not going to be sat down all day listening to a lecture, please be prepared to take an active role on the course. Bring a gi, pens/pencils and notepads/paper.

All grades are very welcome, but only blue belts and above will be able to sit the exam and progress to the qualification.

Instructor: Marcelo Coppa, 3rd degree black belt, IBJJF referee, Head referee of CBJJE.
