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.

This is very true, and doubly true on social media like this sub

It's definitely getting better though. Negative experiences with BJJ guys coming over to Judo hasn't helped.
