The KNZ Referee Council is made up of up to seven members, that reflects both the style and geographic spread of karate within New Zealand.
Our role is to establish and maintain a pool of qualified officials at regional, national and international levels as well as maintain a register of officials and their current qualifications.
We do this by conducting regular training seminars for officials, and by offering accreditation examinations to allow progression though the regional and national levels in both kata and kumite.
The council also develops, maintains and publishes policy on the preparation of New Zealand referees for international accreditation.
