Good Randori for 5th kyu, thats something to be proud of. Specially if you start at 5th kyu. Were is this taking place? and Who did you study under?

STHEX never mind does idiots bugging you...
when i saw your random i quiet felt like i'm way below your category...
when i had a 6th kyu test or white belt to yellow belt test i wasn't this motivated like you....
well all i got to say is your DAMN GOOD MAN!!! keep it up... ^^

Certainly not awful i've seen some videos here with students at a higher level, their randori looked like two 90 year old nuns trying to dance.

It's not sparring - never said it was. If so, I would have not used aikido. This was a test, and "randori" implies "free play", not competitive fighting. The attackers are moving, as compared to starting from a static position. Keep training, take different arts for a few years at a time, and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks Tex,
I hold shodans in various other arts. But in this test, I tried hard NOT to utilize other arts (Judo, karate, and juijitsu), and only stick to aikido. This created a lag in my techniques, as I sorted thru which art I should defend with.
Aikido tends to rely on the OVER commitment of the attacker, so at white belt level, it will look slow and "rehearsed".

I liked the shiho-nage, its one of my favorites...aswell as rokajo but I dont know how far down the line that is for you lol...but anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I think you did good for a white belt and not to listen to anyone whos gunna try and tear you down
that was damn good for 5th kyu, i wish we did some randori. though i did notice that you used some judo applications for a few techniques, i was wondering why until i read that you have done other arts. and i bet you could fen off at least 8 year olds :)

@aleisme6668 - Thanks! It's been 4 years since that video, and now I have to laugh when I see it. At the time, I thought that it was expected to have my hands down, and now I'm constantly telling my students to "Keep your hands UP!"

what kyu ?

5th kyu. The affiliation was Aikiki, so the ranking system begins with 5th kyu, and continues towards shodan. Randori is genreally not "required" for a low level test like mine, but it sure was fun.
