Rapid Attack, High Speed Randori!
We are a defensive tactics dojo that places a big emphasis on close quarter combat. We use a traditional style of randori to test our student's ability to handle the stress of combat. These pictures will demonstrate just how stressful this training method can be. We employ multi-uke randori on a regular basis as well. Rapid attack randori is a method of practice that uses several ukes attacking as soon as the tori engages the first uke. This method of randori does not give the uke very much time between attacks and requires quick movements and even quicker thinking and positioning!

Kotegaeshi!
A pretty typical throw in randori as the teachers look on. |

Tanto Randori!
In this picture the tori is throwing the uke as the uke attacked with a knife (tanto). I believe the nagewaza is kotegaeshi. |
Tori Versus Three Ukes!
There goes a city cop (uke) and the other ukes are attempting to get into a good position to attack, but, the tori is using his attacking uke as a shield (no pun intended) and is in a strong position and is in control of this fight.

Shimewaza In Randori.
In this picture the student on top is applying a "blood choke" as the other student is about to "tap out." |
Multi-Uke Randori.
In this picture the tori (his back towards the camera) is handling four attackers at one time and doing a very good job of it! The tori is in control and that is what we teach and expect.

Good Throw Or A Crash Landing?
Ken Roberts faces the camera as his uke sails off. I can't recall if this was planned or if it was just a "train wreck!" Some times in high speed randori (and in real street fights too) things like this just happen. |
The TKD Sensei Uses Ura!
Gary Roark Sensei (TKD Teacher) is turning uke Jon Barrick Sensei to set him up for the throw. If you look closely, you will see that Barrick Sensei is turning about really fast. This is the result of his hard attack and Roark Sensei's skillful turning movement.

Randori In A Crowd!
The very tall man is the tori (Mike Coleman Sensei)and this sequence is during his test for black belt (Shodan). He has turned one attacker around and is positioning himself to receive the next uke's best. He is defending against four ukes and he will win the battle because he used very skillful tactics that resulted in him throwing the ukes without being "trapped" by them. |

Randori Versus Five Ukes From A Hold!
If defending agaimst five ukes simultaneously wasn't enough to challenge a guy, try it from a holding start! This puts the tori under a lot of stress and requires a very good initial movement to get free and position himself to defend.
