SPECIAL NOTE: This training program has been modified to incorporate the 2017 rule changes.
Notes:
1) This material is still under construction. Additional videos and other info will be added/modified. Check back often.
2) This course is embeded in the Ohio Judo, Inc. (OJI) Website. The links on the right side of each page under "Ohio Judo" and "This Site" as well as the "Prev" and "Next" buttons on the bottom of each page refer to the OJI website - NOT this "Judo Referee Training Course" If you click any of those links, you will leave the training program. You can use the "back arrow" on your browser or go to the right hand column - click on "Certification Programs" - then click on "Referee Certification" and then on "***Referee Training Program Index*** and you will be back in the training program.
3) Some of the external linked documents may contain some outdated information. If they conflict with the "main body" of this training, usually the "main body" information should be correct.
4) This course is for your private use and use at clinics. Some of the material is copywritten so please follow normal copywrite rules.

Special notes and codes used in this presentation: Bold print indicates current IJF Rules (official text). When you click on a link to an external source, the best way to return to this training program is to close the link. Some of the videos take some time (up to several minutes) to download (please be patient) - I am looking for a faster way to view those videos.
