Abstract
In Latvia, the two main problems seen in developing young judokas are a lack of the foundational skill development and the over-emphasis on competition vs training. This project goal was to increase the number of athletes in Latvian judo by introducing a new training system (katas) and new style competition (skilled based vs fighting based). Using theory adapted from the Long Term Athlete Development model (LTAD) model , a new short LTAD theoretical description was created and research into Kata competition was conducted. In addition, on April 6th in 2013, for the first time in Latvian judo history was created KATA competition, attended by 266 athletes. In the past most students of Judo, and some instructors, regard kata as vague and having only a casual relationship to the Judo of the day. On account of this project, kata is being placed in the area of Judo knowledge for athlete development.
