Perfect 👌 why should a judoka leave themselves open to a basic wrestler's takedowns? And even just a gi adds so much more options than wrestling, plus you also have subs.
because then we lose all the other stand up throws and it only takes about two classes to learn to sprawl anyway. why do t we bring back swords and stop pissing around with takedowns?
how do you lose throws by adding other takedowns? in fact, you gain more practice scenarios for making your throwing arsenal even better, e.g. throwing as a counter off a failed double.
because people start crouching over all the time to defend leg grabs whereas a lot of Judo throws require an upright stance. this is indeed what was happening as many clubs just went for the quick and easy thing to learn - leg grabs
