A report from the recent All Classes Referee Course held at Central Taekwondo Academy in Falkirk in Scotland.

British Taekwondo’s Poomsae Referee Department hosted a successful All Classes Referee course at Central Academy in Falkirk on Sunday March 3rd. The referee training event saw the participation of 16 dedicated candidates. The course was led by GM Bailey and focused on a new approach to presentation scoring, which was well received by all attendees.

The emphasis on this new approach scoring method was evident during scoring practice sessions and tests, showcasing the commitment of the candidates to learn and adapt to Poomsae rules.

Exciting news awaits as some of the newly trained Scottish Class 3 referees are attending the upcoming 4th Lanarkshire Open Championships on Saturday 9th March. This event marks a significant milestone as the entire Scottish referee team will consist of Scottish officials, highlighting the growth and development of referees in the region.

We extend our congratulations to all 16 candidates who attended the course and contributed to its success. Your dedication and enthusiasm are truly commendable.
