These are the components that go into an advanced competition training program.
1) Technical training:.I like each player to have at least three tokui-waza for standing and two for groundwork. They must do repetition drills and resistance drills for these techniques so that muscle memory sets in. I'm not big into uchikomi. I think it's useful only when you are learning something new. Once you understand the technique, you need to do lots of nagekomi, which is much, much more useful. And you should use a crashpad so you can throw uke with all your might.
2) Grips: players need to know gripping strategy and gripping skills. They must know how to deal with any gripping situation and must be familiar with how to fight both a rightie and a leftie.
3) Drills. We are very big on situational drills, done at first with no resistance and later with full resistance. Drill are especially crucial when you don't have a big mass of players on the mat like in Japan. When the number of players you have is small, your players will not get to experience the variety of scenarios that they would get if they had 30 training partners at their disposal. If they have only three training partners, how on earth will they get the necessary experience to deal with all kinds of situations? The answer is situational drills!
4) Randori: This is a must. Ideally, I would like my players to have around eight to 10 randoris if they can. In a small club, you will have to do several rounds of randori with the same training partner to fulfill the eight-to-10 randori quota. But that's okay. I've been in situations where I had only one training partner and we did five or six randoris with each other. You won't get any variety like this but that's why situational drills are important.
