KUGB schedules free Referees and Judges Course in Solihull for 18 October

Solihull course combines rules knowledge with practical work

The Karate Union of Great Britain (KUGB) has listed a free Referees and Judges Course for Sunday 18 October 2026 at Solihull Karate Academy, 2 Thornhill Road, Solihull B91 2HB. The official event page gives the time as 10:30–17:00, with a break around 12:30–13:30.

The course is for KUGB black belt members aged 16 and over. The KUGB asks attendees to register through its app and bring a copy of the KUGB competition rules, a whistle, and pen and paper. It also asks attendees to wear the KUGB referee/judge uniform where available, or casual smart attire otherwise.

The event page says a volunteer would be helpful for the practical kata and kumite section. These details come from the KUGB official course page; members should check the live notice and app for any updates before travelling.
