I'd like to ask for an explaination of your question. The Japanese word randori is usually used in aikido as a multi-person attack versus one person. Therefore 2+ persons attacking an aikidoist would be considered randori.

However the word randori is also used, as in judo, as a one-on-one practice. Therefore you could also be talking about practicing aikido with one person.

Most of the suggestions are assuming that you mean the multi-person attack. However, I'm thinking that you might be talking about the one-on-one training, since you've started aikido and usually don't have to worry about multi-person attacks until you get to around black belt level.

What do you mean by randori? Is this a multi-person attack on one person or is it one-on-one training?

It is not practice that makes perfect, it is correct practice that makes perfect.
