I've always focused on being a good uke, and probably always will.

certain techniques happen only when uke does a particular thing (like pulling instead of pushing etc.) training isn't randori, so uke must do the correct reaction to a particular technique or that technique won't take place.

i often find that beginner uke's aren't really sure of WHY a technique works for a particular reaction. if they learn why early on, then their fundamentals will be very strong.
