This is how we practice for Tanto Randori competition at the Mansfield Tomiki Aikido Club. The idea is to try to get a successful technique from an uncooperative attack. In tanto randori, there is a designated attacker (tanto) and a designated defender (toshu). The attacker attempts to stab the defender with a training knife (usually rubber or stuffed) while the defender attempts, with any of seventeen basic aikido techniques, to throw or perform joint-locks on the attacker. Tanto is expected to resist or counter with the first five techniques. Hope you enjoy! Check out our podcast at www.usaikido.com or visit our club page at http
