Open-Ended

In the last post, I've talked about closed-ended and it is just natural that I'll also talk on open-ended. Open-ended is the opposite of closed ended. It is when the training is conducted in an unstable or unpredictable environment. After going through closed-ended training, then the athletes will have to undergo open-ended training, where neither will now what techniques they will be doing.

Open-ended training is to get the athletes to be able to react the unpredictable situation just as in the competition. In the competition, nobody knows what going to happen. So by going through open-ended training, at least the athletes will get to understand the situation that they will be in during competition, so that they are able to response to it.
