What should you record in a randori video review?
Record the partner stance, first grip, attack you tried, why it worked or failed, how you defended, and the next drill or randori constraint. Good randori review turns one moving exchange into one practice decision.

Start With Three Exchanges
You do not need to annotate every second of randori. Pick three exchanges and make each one useful.
| Exchange | What to watch | Training decision |
|---|---|---|
| Successful attack | What grip, angle, kuzushi, and timing made the attack work? | Repeat it under a harder grip or against the opposite stance. |
| Failed attack | Did the attack fail because of grip, distance, direction, posture, or commitment? | Choose one correction and build a short drill. |
| Defended exchange | How did you avoid being thrown, pinned, turned, or penalized? | Keep the defensive cue, then add a counter or transition. |
Randori Video Review Template
| Field | Prompt | Use in Judo AI |
|---|---|---|
| Session context | Who was the partner, what stance, and how long was the round? | Add to the practice log. |
| Today's focus | What were you trying to improve before the round started? | Compare the focus with the actual exchange. |
| Attack tried | What throw, grip change, combination, or ne-waza entry did you attempt? | Update the waza map or technique note. |
| Failure point | Where did the exchange break: grip, entry, kuzushi, footwork, finish, or transition? | Ask AI Judo Sensei for a drill progression. |
| Partner reaction | What did your partner repeat when pressured? | Save it as a pattern to test in the next round. |
| Next constraint | What rule will you use next randori to force the improvement? | Turn it into a mission or practice plan item. |

Example Review
Instead of writing "seoi-nage failed," make the note actionable: "Right sleeve grip was late, partner posted left hand, entry became too square. Next randori constraint: secure sleeve first, attack only after moving partner to the right."
