Thanks for the perspective Phillip. I would tend to agree with you on randori, that has been my experiences outside of judo with BJJ. I've never seen much about Mitsuo Maeda's (Count Koma) background other than he studied judo or jiujustsu. I believe he did both. I could see where he got the randori stuff from, and I would tend to agree that it was probably judo. Hard to say which art influenced him more not being there and seeing him.

Doesn't really matter I suppose!
