Referees

Appreciation

The ability to understand and appreciate the actions of the competitors comes from an in-depth knowledge of the principles and techniques of Taekwondo. While practical refereeing is needed to enhance and fine tune the skills of appreciation, the foundation must be established by practicing and studying Taekwondo on a regular basis. Techniques continue to change over time and referees must keep pace with these changes or appreciation will suffer. Appreciation includes: understanding when an action deserves a score, understanding when actions are prohibited and a penalty should be awarded, and when to call Break.
