Defending. It was just playing around and not tournament kind of serious. Made me curious about going to a judo place, though.
Not to take anything away from your training, but not being thrown by judo players when your not trying to throw them is actually quite easy.

I have no internal training and I'm told by almost every judo player I train with that I'm amazingly hard to throw when I'm not trying to throw them. Now if I could have that ability and still actually toss them around, that would be something.

The only time I get thrown it seems is when I'm countered.

Stand up straight, keep their hips from closing the distance, don't attempt to control them or attack, and don't lock up your body. You are now at least 100% better at not being thrown in judo randori.
