REFEREE CODE OF CONDUCT The following guidelines serve as the official Referee Code of Conduct for the Korea Moo

Moo Kwan Hapkido Association. This code must be adhered to when officiating any KMMK sanctioned event, or when involved in any other official capacity in any KMMK sanctioned event, to include support or technical duties, or training events. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in dismissal from an appointed position, including the revoking of official credentials and associated titles.

1. As a KMMK referee, I will perform my duties in a firm and impartial manner, showing no favoritism to one competitor over any other competitor.

2. As a KMMK referee, I will hold the safety of all competitors and spectator’s paramount over all other concerns.

3. As a KMMK referee, I understand that I am an ambassador of Hapkido to all with whom I come in contact. As such, I will utilize tact and diplomacy to resolve all disputes.

4. While in uniform, I will not fraternize with competitors or coaches, lest I give the appearance of conspiring to show favoritism.

5. I will accept and respect the authority of all Referee Directors and Senior Referees, and I in turn understand that I will always have the full support of the Referee Director in my decisions, provided that I adhere to the Referee Code of Conduct.

6. I understand that the referee ranking system operates differently than the Gup/Dan ranking system, and as such, a referee with a higher rating or title than myself will have authority, regardless of any difference in Gup/Dan rank.

7. I will maintain the highest possible standards in physical conditioning and martial arts skill and knowledge in order to legitimately perform my duties as a judge of others’ skills and abilities.

8. I will maintain a positive attitude in all conditions and perform all duties assigned to me to the best of my ability.

9. I will strive to be on time for all official functions, and will to the best of my ability put aside personal desires to fulfill my duties.

10. I will not accept favors of any kind in return for my actions or decisions, and I will immediately report any attempts at bribery or coercion to the Referee Director.

11. I understand that any verbal or non-verbal displays of emotion in support of any competitor is absolutely prohibited while on the competition floor. Referees must remove their uniform and move to the spectator seating in order to “cheer” for a competitor. Negative statements, such as “booing” made against any competitor are prohibited under all circumstances. Professionalism is paramount.
