Re: Randori for the first time!

Would you mind describing the type of training you call Ranodri ?

It seems to me different people have totally different activities undr the same name. Even if they belong in the same organization.

In Korindo Aikido, Ranodri is normally a full free play action, all attacks and all technichs are allowed (including counters), each of the (normally two) particpents may choose when he wishes to attack and how (which strike or grab) and thus give the other an opportunity to practice being Tori and performing a tchnique on him, the roles can be reversed at any moment (for example, if the other moves in a way that invites the attacker to change his attack in a technique). The practice is NOT comnpetitive and all participents should strive to be soft, harmonous and not to resist nor use force (counter application has to follow those rules too).

What are the rules in your Ranodori?
