As one of my previous teachers said, "There's so much more empty space on the mat than the three attackers. Why focus on the people so much?"

2. You don't have to throw your attackers, not even once. This is the most common mistake I see in randori.

My current teacher, whenever he oversees randori for a yundansha exam, always says, "No need to throw -- just move." I think I've seen him oversee at least a hundred yudansha exams so far and I've never heard him say, "I want you to stand still, grab a hold of your partner, and do as many techniques as you know"...
I think, personally, more importantly, "Keep moving
forward."
