Randori at Kodokan

[@augustineleudar]

kids got a lovely Tai otoshi

[@ronin2167]

I was going to say something similar. Nice tai otoshi

[@droman30]

Good randori! I would love to visit the Kodokan one day.

[@Taekwon-Brando]

We also don't use colored belts at our school except for brown for some odd reason?

[@prvtthd401]

I assume they don't use the coloured belt system. Because that is not his first rodeo.

[@makikomi]

Lovely randori, and exactly the right attitude shown by both guys... resist by all means, but if the attacker's technique is good enough, let yourself be thrown. The one thing I am curious about is this: I thought the typical grip in Japanese Judo is a left-handed grip (left hand on lapel, right hand on the sleeve), and that this is because the right arm is usually the stronger one. Am I correct about this or not? Here, both these guys were predominantly using a right-handed grip (right hand on lapel, left on sleeve).

[@nucopia]

Right handed players will almost always grip the lapel with the right hand and the sleeve with the left ,the opposite is true for left handed players..

[@KlgoDomingoOrtiz]

In Kodokan are only white and black belts like in the past?

[@dawidmikan2394]

The black belt can't be going full force on him, he wouldn't let himself be thrown that easily at the kodokan i hope

[@vincentgope9332]

That is because he is doing real randori. The right way of doing randori is to not use much force. Otherwise, it s called Shiai. But let's be honest we all usually do Shiai :D

[@libertarian_ramblings]

They are both going about 60% at the start, and about 80% later on. The guy in the white obi is just better.

[@paulsdrc]

When I was coming up it was normal for the black belts to go easier on the junior guys, to critique and coach them.

[@dawidmikan2394]

@@paulsdrc Yes that makes sense, but why is a white belt training with black belts? Does he maybe want to show respect and not wear his usual belt?
