As a judo club with recreational players and competitors, we need to have different types of training programs in place to cater to our members' different needs.
General Training
This is training for everybody, recreational and competitive alike. The focus of general training is to teach technical skills, both for grading purposes as well as to make them well-rounded, capable randori players.
We would usually teach the traditional versions of standing and groundwork techniques followed by modern, practical versions. Each technique would usually be taught from an ai-yotsu (same stance) and kenka-yotsu (different stance) situation.
There is randori but players do only as much as they want to. Some who prefer to do less randori might do just a few and sit out. The ones who are more competitive will take the opportunity to do more. This is a general class so we don't push people very hard. They are here for a fun workout not a punishing competition training regime.
Competition Training
The purpose of this kind of training is to prepare players for competition so it's a lot more focused and intense than in general training. The focus is not so much technical but more on building muscle memory through situational drills.
For newaza, we will go through techniques to help open up uke and just a few very specific ground moves. We will also work on legal take-downs for transitions into groundwork. For tachi-waza, we start with gripping drills, followed by tokui-waza nagewaza. We will also work on transition throws, from ground to standing.
For randori, we do a very specialized randori that mimic different situations in a contest, e.g. the last one-minute of the contest or Golden Score, with different score and penalty scenarios for each player. This forces our players to think strategically. To win a contest, you can't just rely on throwing or groundwork skills. You need to fight strategically too, depending on the situation.
