The Two most popular grappling drills that are typically performed with a partner include nage-komis and uchi-komis. Uchi-komis is whereby one partner performs the throwing motions but does not actually throw their partner. Included is shadow uchi-komis whereby the student performs without a partner.
These two grappling drills are also known as Randori and Kata. Randori comprises of freestyle sparring and playing, and both partners attempt to beat each other according to the rules of shiai, but with far less intensity than what is used in a shiai. When training a judoka the majority of forms used are randori. However, this will differ from dojo to dojo. Randori comprises of three different types such as ground only, standing ground and ground and standing combined.
A student starts off by using the standing randori with the intention of throwing their partner to the ground. They start off by not touching each other which enables them to fight for grips. When using the ground only randori, the students start of on the ground. A judoka’s intension is to bring his partner to submission within twenty five seconds. The match on occasions starts off by both students facing each other on their knees or back to back.
A judoka’s training may also include kata. However not all dojo’s practice this grappling drill. This technique is mainly used and practiced by advanced judoka’s in order to receive higher ranking. This drill is always performed with two judoka as one performs the techniques and the other receives the techniques performed.
When fighting in competitions the judoka wears a gi which is made from quilted cotton and comprises of a jacket and drawstring pants which is fastened by a belt known as an obi. The obi is usually coloured and will indicate the rank of the judoka. As you can see grappling drills form an important part of Jiu Jitsu.
