As part of the revised delivery of England Judo training opportunities, fighters will now have the option to attend 23 weekly sessions, an increase from six sessions under the ETDC programme.
The new delivery approach will provide a greater opportunity for England programme fighters, and those aspiring to join the England National Squad, to access a greater number of training and randori sessions to boost their weekly training load in collaboration with their club judo opportunities, further accelerating overall technical and physical development.
Through utilising the existing club network across England, a new approach of training opportunities is aiming to increase access to additional training and importantly, Randori which is the fundamental training unit of Performance Judo. The collaboration of these clubs is critical to the long-term development of GB’s future elite fighters towards future Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Speaking of the new delivery model of England training opportunities, British Judo Head of Performance Pathways, Matt Divall said: “This is an exciting step for the delivery of judo to our England Development Squad (EDS) and England Performance Potential (EPP) fighters, ensuring greater time on task and increasing randori volume. These are key factors when looking at performances on the global stage.
“I would like to thank the 6 ETDC delivery centres for the fantastic work they have performed with the England Programme to date and for their understanding and support as we move towards this new delivery model.
“This is an exciting time for England Judo and I look forward to seeing many more England Programme fighters on the mat and performing on the international stage.”
