		Randori (乱取り) is a term used in Japanese martial arts to describe free-style practice or sparring, sometimes with multiple attackers.
		In these schools, the distinction between randori and kumite is that in randori the action is not interrupted when a successful technique is applied.
		Randori may be contrasted with kata, as two potentially complementary types of training.

		Randori is a concept that, while not unique to Nanbudo, is used in very few other martial arts, and rarely in exactly the same way.

		Randori as part of a regular practice within a Branch, practiced in the spirit of mutual improvement rather than competition, is a good thing.
		Randori in the dojo is "where the rubber hits the road." Techniques change radically when you use them on someone who is trying to hit you, and the strategies involved in a fight (i.e.
		A frequent criticism (only slightly tangentially) is that tournament Randori is not "realistic," and this is true in the sense that lethal force is not being used (at least at not at any of the tournaments that I've been to!).

	What is Randori? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One interpretation given by Kano of randori is that it is everything outside the kata, which follows from the definition of "ran".
		"Dori" in "randori" is the same as "tori" in the spirit of "uke and tori." It is one of those words that does not translate well or easily.
		So "randori" might be to engage someone in a situation where there is no controlling form, or to attempt to overcome someone in a practice in which there is no controlling form or order.

		Randori can be practiced with a single aite (opponent) as in Judo, with multiple attacks in succession by one opponent (like jippon randori), multiple attackers in succession (kachinuki) or with multiple attackers all at once as in traditional multiple attack Aikido.
		It must be noted that randori is a form of training and not a form of competition which is properly called shiai (literally "meeting for the ordeal").
		Randori is a part of this study so that skill may be developed in free style and self-defense situations but shiai or competition in which one individual dominates and defeats another by the garnering of points or by submission is not a part of the Aikibudokan curriculum and philosophy.

	Aikido Syllabus
		We do randori at a pace which is as slow as the two partners can possibly move and avoid the use of strength at all costs.
		Randori is intended to be a slow, safe simulation of techniques that are occurring at full speed, so sudden direction changes are not part of randori because they would be impossible at high speed.
		In tanto randori there are still only two partners but one is specifically designated as uke and is given a soft rubber knife with which to attack tori.

		Randori is usually required as part of dan examinations.
		The first form, toshu randori, is similar to judo, with both competitors using offense and defense in an attempt to execute appropriate aikido techniques.
		Toshu randori is now infrequently practiced in its competitive form and has been largely replaced by tanto randori, in which one competitor is armed with a mock knife, which is exchanged after a one and a half or two-minute half.

		The objective of randori was a type of “research and development” phase of practicing nage-waza.
		Randori in Jukido is a research and development tool that is used for measuring the effectiveness of one’s throwing techniques against another skilled practitioner who is unwilling to be thrown.

	AikidoKids Curriculum Directory
		There are a number of safe ways to introduce randori training into a kid's program, but care must always be taken that the energy level of the training does not slip out of control.
		One way to control the pace of randori is for the instructor to be the nage, who can therefore pace the throws to match each kid's skill level.
		The invitation-only status of the class helps make the advanced training "cool" even in a teen's jaded eyes, and thus helps retain older students who might otherwise be pulled away from training by their non-aikido peer's desire to hang out on street corners and act like, well, teenagers.

	The Origin of Fugakukai Aikido - Karl Geis Hanshi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tanto randori, like most sports, by its rules and nature predicts that the strongest and most athletic person will prevail; hardly a viable idea if we are to develop an Aikido form that is useful and productive to all who practice large or small, strong or weak.
		We further agreed that the Shodokan style of training stressing the tanto randori over the kata prevented the practitioners of the tanto randori paradigm from acquiring the subtleties of advanced Aikido understanding to be gained from kata.
		It is also true, however, that with the institution of this one rule, eliminating shomen-ate from tanto randori, that without question the most powerful and effective, simple, instinctive, and automatic single response to a totally surprise attack was eliminated from the Tomiki Aikido automatic response repertoire.

		When engaged in randori with a student, it is considered unethical to apply techniques that have not been presented to the student.
		When engaging in randori with a junior partner, always employ the method of mo sukoshi, or "a little more." That is, when in randori with a shodan, apply your techniques and attacks as if you were nidan.
		In a martial art, it is essential to train the body to move freely and agilely to deal with punching and kicking attacks and to nurture the ability to react quickly and skillfully.

		Special thanks are extended to the Kano family, whose permission to peruse and quote from the personal diaries and technical notes of Jigoro Kano has given this text its core.
		Thus it has been possible to recapture the original spirit and intent of Kodokan kata from its source, and to explain it so that its importance may be discovered by the reader.
		But, beyond that, in all techniques described herein and their related counters, neutralizations, and escape procedures, are values that should be applied when practicing randori and shiai.

		Randori and sparing help to lead us closer to both the core principles of the martial arts and the true power that they generate by letting us experience the techniques studied in kata as they were meant to be performed: against a smart, resisting, and aggressive opponent.

		Then we feel that the technique should be practised in a Randori situation in order to strengthen and add reality to the technique and then this acquired knowledge should again be fed back into our Kata practice so that the benefits of Randori training should be reflected in our Kata.
		The kind of Keiko (practice) and the kind of Randori practice that you do should be tailored to suit your age, physical ability, and your level.

	Martial Arts Planet - Strategies for Improving the Nage-Waza Aspect of Randori?
		i would learn as many throws as possible and try and use them in randori and even shiai....needless to say i got my arse kicked in the first few tournaments i was in.
		The only way to truly find what throws suit you is to try them all in full Randori or competition and then to see which ones have a high success rate, and the only way to do this is by trying them all, A LOT.
		My old club in Chelmsford was much more straightforward, we spent the vast bulk of the lesson in randori and they didn't teach you very many moves at a time.
