LTDM: Long Term Developmental Model
A New Approach? Canada’s progress in LTAD is encouraging some organizations and facilities to combine their services and offer children more complete access to activities and sports. This approach leads to physical literacy – critical for life-long physical activity and the development of world-class athletes. Adolescence also affects a child’s sporting experience and should be addressed appropriately.
When organizations and facilities combine services, it gives children more access to activities and sports. People are more likely to enter a sport later in life – whether for healthy recreation or to develop sport excellence – because of early exposure. People require a full range of athletic abilities if they are to reach the highest levels of sporting excellence in late specialization sports. Early overspecialization too often leads to a lack of physical literacy and ultimately, early retirement from sport. Adolescence effects children in different ways. Some hit puberty and develop early while others develop later. Few Canadian sports understand the challenges faced by early and late developers.
With males, late developers are usually smaller and physically weaker than their peers. Early developers, who experience sporting success at a younger age, are often surpassed by their late-developing peers. Both can lead to early dropout. For females, rapid growth of breasts and hips can cause early developers to drop out, while late developers, who had early success with their prepubescent bodies, face difficulties when older.

VALUE OF A GOOD UKI:
The uki is the secret weapon when it comes to learning
judo. You need to teach your athletes and students to be good uki and learn to
work with their partner and not be detrimental to their development. To be a
good uki athletes and students cannot have a fear of falling. They need to
embrace the idea of doing breakfalls and learn the technique from a very young
age. Look at this video clip of Rokyo Tamura throwing a partner as an example
of a perfect uki (2min45sec)
When you visit dojo’s around the world this type of
throwing with speed and power is a common practice for all age groups. We need
to teach our athletes in Canada to be at the same level so every athletes
technical judo can improve.

Train Like an Olympic Judo Athlete
More difficult than MMA training, Jimmy Pedro explains the intense strength an athlete needs to compete in Olympic-level judo.
Current
judo coach and two-time Olympic medalist Jimmy Pedro is able to sum up the
difficulty of judo training pretty easily: “I have many athletes that used to
compete in judo but are now competing in mixedmartial arts,” he says. “And it’s funny to hear them say that
judo training’s just too hard. ‘It’s harder than MMA. It’s just too physical
for me.’”
Harder Than MMA?
It’s
hard to believe someone might make the move to MMA to go easier on their
bodies, but Pedro says being able to train in different techniques and
disciplines make MMA “more forgiving on the body than judo.” When it comes to
sparring for MMA during practice sessions, competitors rarely give 100 percent
to prevent injury, while judo is designed to prevent injury regardless of how
well or poorly a person is doing, forcing them to give their all every time
they step on the mat. He also notes that the necessary skills involved in judo
are integral to success in mixed martial arts, generally making the transition
easier to handle for judo competitors.
