Purpose & materials: the article speaks about the analysis of the competitive level of training in the young Russian judo contestants (18 to 20) representing the Krasnoyarsk territory and the Siberian Federal District. The invited experts - judges and coaches - have analysed some competition battles for a number of athletes focusing on: the number of faults (shido); the number of real attempts at applying techniques either from a standing position (Nage-waza) or on the ground (Ne-waza); the number of successful techniques executed by the judo athletes; and dynamics of the combat. Results: the expert analysis showed that a number of criteria, such as: active combat in the standing position during the whole bout; active combat on the mat; the tactics to conduct a competition battle, - are not met by the athletes, thus deterring them from obtaining higher competitive results. At the same time the experts gave some positive feedback on the general dynamics of the contestants' fighting as well as the quantity of the technical moves they performed. Conclusions: all in all, according to the specialists who participated in the analysis, the judo contestants in the control group do not fall short of their foreign counterparts' technique mastery. However, it is necessary to make some changes to the process of tactical preparation of athletes for competitions
