In judo, jujutsu, and Shodokan aikido, among others, it most often refers to one-on-one sparring where partners attempt to resist and counter each other's techniques. The term is used in aikido, judo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu dojos outside Japan. The term was described by Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo, in a speech at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games: "Randori, meaning "free exercise", is practiced under conditions of actual contest. In Tenshin Aikido[edit] Although in karate the word kumite is usually reserved for sparring, some schools also employ the term randori with regard to "mock-combat" in which both karateka move with speed, parrying and attacking with all four limbs (including knees, elbows, etc.). ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8991.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8991.txt
