frank raud
Master of Arts
In 9 months of training, you never did any randori? You never did grip fighting? The only matches in judo that start with opponents having their hands on each other is for blind people. Do you learn individual techniques from the position? Yes. If you were taught that free fighting(randori) starts from a grip, then your school sucked, not the art.Sparing starts with two people holding the sleeve with one hand and the ghee with the other.
