The OCA-AMMA International Judgment and Coach Development Program was held from August 25 to 27. Yang Seo-woo, chairman of the judging committee of the Korea MMA General Association, and Jeon Sung-won, vice chairman of the judging committee, participated. In particular, Yang Seo-woo, chairman of the judging committee, was recognized for his expertise and leadership as an international referee by immediately serving as a daily instructor at the request of local instructors.
Chairman Yang Seo-woo and Vice Chairman Jeon Sung-won have already qualified as international judges, further solidifying the status of the Korean judges by transferring rules and operation know-how to judges from each country who newly attended the training there.
The two judges, who were awarded a certificate of completion after successfully completing the judging process seminar, attended the revised competition regulation training on the 28th to intensively learn the newly revised international MMA judging rules.
Immediately after the seminar, Yang Seo-woo, chairman of the judging committee, and Jeon Sung-won, vice chairman of the judging committee, were soon put into the judging team for the 1st Youth Asian Championship held from the 29th to the 30th.
In particular, the role of the referee team was more important as the revised new rules were first applied to this competition, and the two international referees contributed to the successful conclusion of the competition with perfect judgment and operation capabilities.
The Korea MMA General Association once again proved the professionalism, leadership, and fairness of the Korean MMA referees on the international stage through the OCA-AMMA international education program and participation in the Youth Asian Championship. The performances of Yang Seo-woo, chairman of the judging committee, and Jeon Sung-won, vice chairman of the judging committee, became an important foothold for South Korea's MMA to gain international trust and expand its influence on the Asian stage.
Yang Seo-woo, chairman of the judging committee, said "I participated in this seminar to learn the newly revised rules and immediately went into actual work on the field. In the meantime, he has gained a lot of experience in international competitions, so he is quick to adapt to the rules, so he was able to do his refereeing work fairly in practice. Deputy Judge Jeon Sung-won, who participated together, also worked hard on the schedule and raised the status of Korean referees. I will continue to do my best as an international referee representing Korea."
