No clarification needed. The person putting the hold on puts it on in randori as he would in a real world application, it is up to the person being submitted to tap out before he is injured. All techniques are done at real speed, full power.....you just stop when the other guy has had enough.Just a minor point of clarification: in randori you don't put on arm bars and wrist locks at full power. If a lock is executed properly and at full power, the elbow snaps. So do wrists and fingers (which snap like a twig).
Randori relies on the person being subjected to the lock admitting that the lock is set, and tapping out accordingly without the lock being applied full power. Only then can you spar using locks while preventing permanent injury.
If you do put on locks full power, you'll end up injuring sparring partners regularly.
Randori IS full contact sparring.
