Re: Best randori

About the Feder and Matsuoka randori. I'm not sure if I have seen the Randori you are talking about. But I have met and trained with, and seen Feder sensei many times. I have never known her to work with anything but compliant ukes.

I'm sure the uke's in those randori took top notch ukemi. I've seen many of Matsuokas students and they take great ukemi. As well as Kayla's. They train great ukes, but they are compliant uke's.

I have taken Ukemi for Fedor sensei a few times, and it was compliant ukemi, as did everyone else at the seminars I have attended, and randori I've seen.

What Judoka do in randori is noncompliant, it also never involves punching someone in the face. What 99% of Aikidoka (save tomiki/shodokan)do is compliant.
