Tori
Tori (Judo)
Tori (取り) is a term used in Judo to refer to the person who executes a technique during practice or competition. The word "tori" translates to "taker" or "receiver" in English, indicating the individual who performs the action or technique. In judo practice, tori is responsible for applying the technique to their partner, known as uke (受け), who receives the technique.
In a typical judo training session, roles of tori and uke are often alternated to allow both practitioners to experience and learn from both perspectives. The concept of tori and uke is fundamental in judo, as it emphasizes the importance of cooperation and mutual benefit in training.
