Training is generally centered around a yakusoku kumite (prearranged fighting) form of kata training done in pairs, and it is repeated, switching the roles of 'tori' (attacker, the one who applies the technique) and 'uke' (defender, the one to whom the technique is applied).
稽古は一般的に、二人一組の約束組手形式（何の技を使うか合意の元に行う）の形稽古中心であり、「取り（捕り）」（技を掛ける側）と「受け」（技を受ける側）の役を相互に交代しながら繰り返し行う。
