This allows us to have an idea of how many groups we need to create so that everyone gets enough turns.
Subject: Shinpan (referee)
Learning objectives of this Regional Training:
Learning objective 1: to provide interested members from 1st dan onwards with basic knowledge regarding shinpan*
Learning objective 2: to allow members who already have practical experience with shinpan to apply this experience in practice through simulated matches*
Learning objective 3: to teach the other members techniques and offer the opportunity to participate in shiai (as a practical exercise for shinpan)The training is organized by the TC Kendo
*if there are few participants for shinpan, both groups can be merged
