It seems all to easy to find a dojo that stresses competition, and not the full range of judo, including the kata, and serious practice of non-competition throws and principles. Lets take the habit of 'turtling' as one easy example...I don't believe there is any way to justify that outside of the competition environment.

Well if anyone is ever near the Washington D.C area drop by the Arlington Judo Club, we practice the full range of Judo for the most part. There are always some people doing randori while others are doing kata and others practicing techniques. There is really something for everyone there, both non-competitors and competitors.
There are also several people there with Aikido backgrounds and we like to mix in a little Aikido for fun on occasion.
