Unpopular opinion (here at least):

Judo people have a strange hang up regarding people who train bjj. I train at both, but at judo gyms, more often than not I get the judo is better than bjj talk. Whereas when a judo guy visits a bjj gym, it’s always “that’s awesome” and often get asked a ton of questions with take downs etc.

The reaction to bjj training is SO predictable that I don’t even mention it when visiting other judo schools at this point.

Judo has an enormous inferiority complex over BJJ indeed.
