In Marshall`s section of the Assembly, the participants discussed the specifics of the judging for HMB Soft tournaments. Sergey Myasishchev, HMBIA marshal supervisor, who headed the section, paid special attention that it is necessary to have special professional skills are required for qualified and fair refereeing of the HMB Soft tournaments. And marshals have to be even more qualified than judging fights on steel weapons.
Sergey Myasishchev:
“The speeds in the HMB Soft are much higher than in full-contact fights in armor. In addition, the soft sword does not have a pronounced blade, which makes it`s more difficult to determine the skill of the strike. Accordingly, the main program content for the marshals retraining for HMB Soft is an explanation of the nuances of judging such discipline. I am sure that it can`t be so difficult to adapt the professional skills of judging HMB soft for a qualified HMB marshal. For the preparation of such specialists we are planning to hold several seminars dedicated to this discipline and we are sure that soon the HMB Marshals will be able to work at the HMB Soft competitions”.
Also there is a discussion of the creation the database of groups and clubs where children are engaged in the HMB soft throughout the Europe and a database of gyms suitable for training in such direction.
HMBIA helps to organize HMB Soft seminar in Italy for the young sportsmen on November 12, 2017. The captain of the Italian National team, Antonio De Zio, agreed to help with the organization. In addition, the participants of the Assembly considered that it is necessary to create the specifical Internet community to discuss issues related the HMB Soft direction.
