They were all professional soldiers, begin their military service when they were children till they were uncapable to fight. Requitment system was "leaving enough numbers of children to keep their family growing and taking the rest of healthy children in to military/govermental service" In the beginning of the military/govermental service , the children divided in to 2 parts, one part was govermental education and other was military. The well experienced observers choose which child was good for govermental or military service. The children became the property of the state for a while. They trained very well for years. The govermental trainees become public servant working for the state and the best of them for the emperor. The military trainees send in to bootcamps where they start their military service under heavily stricted rules of Ottoman Army. They couldn't leave their service untill they are dead, heavily wounded or promoted cause of a marvelous achivements. Also they were not allowed to marry. Its like the French legion, which is inspired from janissary system. The basic idea is; training soldiers for living, killing and dieing only for their religion, country and emperor. The religion was the best and most used way to encourage soldiers to fight.
Also the Janissaries were keeing the newest and best weapons of their time in their arsenals. The weaponary was beyond their time. Also they were supported with almost un limited resources and human power.
hope it helped.
