We should learn leg grabs in class even if we can’t use them in competition

This feels like an extremely popular opinion to me. And even then, my gym teaches, and allows them in Randori. Though that, and a few other techniques, come with the caveat of teaching them after the 'normal' way to do stuff, and make sure to explain that it doesn't work in competition.
