“Practicing Randori (Judo sparring at the dojo) tends to make the student earnest, sincere, thoughtful, cautious and deliberate in action. At the same time, he or she learns to value and make quick decisions and to act promptly, for, whether attacking or defending, there is no place in Randori for indecisiveness.”
Dr. Jigoro Kano
Judo Founder
(1860-1938)
