With the Submission Series Tournament happening on the 16th of June in Langley, I will be putting on a referee clinic at my school in Vancouver June 9th at 12 noon. You must be a purple belt or higher to participate. We will be going over the rules of the CBJJ/IBJJF requirements.
This is open to all schools. With this new tournament taking place, we need the most qualfied peoples on the mats controlling the action. No more excuses of not knowing the rules, biased refs, complaints from coaches etc. I want this Submission Series to be fair and competitive. Pat Delaney (Megaton), Benito Seguira (Marcus) and myself have all taken the certification course under the CBJJ/IBJJF requirements so with their help and the help of other we will make this the best and biggest tourney on the West Coast.
There is no fee for this course. We will go over all the rules and answer any questions about the rules and regulations. This should take 2-3 hours so please be prepared.
Email me at info@graciebarra.ca to register. If no other teams commit to this course there will be no excuses when you see all my purple and brown belts on the mats reffing. Here is our chance to bring up the level of coaches and refs to ensure our sport grows in a positive and progressive manner.
Thanks for all your help and support,
