With the move...


Our partners, C5 Integrated Training (formerly Muayfit Damansara Perdana), will be moving to a new location, just down the road from the current location. We will be moving with them. Here's the address:

P118 & P118A, Tropics Shopping Centre,
Jalan PJU 8/1, Damansara Perdana,
47820
Petaling Jaya, Selangor

We should be in the new place by Sept 1. With the move, we will be adding an additional day and tweaking the structure of our judo classes somewhat.

Sundays (2pm to 5pm)
Sundays are our general class days when we have the most number of people, from beginners to advanced players. We will continue to maintain it as a general class with a wide range of modules including some warm up games, newaza technical, newaza drills, tachi-waza technical, tachi-waza drills, newaza/tachi-waza randori and shiai at the end of the session. Three hours is quite a long session but some of our players can only come for training once a week so we want to make sure they get a really good workout.

Tuesdays and Fridays (7.30pm to 9.30pm)
Our weekday trainings have been in flux all this while. There has been no set approach to weekday classes because the composition of the class has changed and evolved so much. There was a a time when children came on weekdays. So, we had to adjust to that. Other times we had mainly beginners. Yet on some days, it's mainly experienced players. So, it's been difficult to set a fixed formula or approach to weekday classes. But lately, we've seen that the ones who come consistently on weekdays are those who are more into -- if not competition, at least competition-style judo where the emphasis is on learning very practical skills that work against resisting partners. As such we will use our weekday classes for that.

Wednesday (6pm to 8pm at Sunway University)
KL Judo provides the instruction at Sunway Judo Club and several of our players go there for additional training and to help out and make new friends. It's a much lighter training with an emphasis on grading techniques rather than competition techniques. It's very suitable for recreational judo players. All KL Judo members are eligible to join Sunway Judo sessions.

Saturday (2pm to 5pm)
The time is not fixed yet but we are planning to have a slot reserved for us on Saturdays to be used for miscellaneous purposes. It could be used for those who wish to practice grading techniques. It could also be used for a new children's class. Or it could be used for personal training or for a pure randori-only session. What we will ultimately use it for will be determined in the near future.
