Randori Geiko ("Free movement training")

After you master technique and kata, try to develop a sense of proper positioning ("kurai dori"; or "position taking"). Try to position yourself at his "dead angle" (spot where he cannot see you). Instead of using your power, make the attackers' power

crash against each other. This will take away their fighting power. Technique will not retain the same form as in the kata. It changes it's form infinitely.
