The Classical Judo Institute of Stamford CT

Stamford Judo likes to promote contest judo, and as such, we allow for extended periods of Randori (free training) whereby the players try to apply their Judo skills in throwing, grappling, et al. 

Here are some pictures of a Friday night randori practise after the formal instructional session had concluded.

Two old coaches Angle and Candito having a go at randori (free practice).  There's over 100 years of combined you don't experience here.
