We stress to everyone that COMMAND is not here to teach people about the striking & grappling arts, we are strictly here to teach you about how to be a proficient official in MMA... The knowledge base needed to become a proficient official can only come from being familiar with sport and the language and terms used within our sport. If you are not familiar, please get yourself into a local grappling school by either watching or actually participating in it yourself so you can understand how the holds and positions work. If you are not an active participant in some form of grappling (Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, wrestling, sambo), we strongly suggest you print the MMA techniques that are listed below and take them to a local grappling facility to have them teach you each move, explaining how they work and what body part they affect as you MUST know this. If you are unable to do this, extensive research on the internet may help (however, please be aware that many times the moves that are shown online may be outdated or partially incorrect).  We do not have any type of pre-study materials, because the course is so hands-on.  You can also download the ABC's Unified Rules for MMA and study them, as they are a big part of the course.
