That depends on the club. My club teaches it, but it’s ofc not the main focus.

And, I might be wrong, but it seems the new BJA syllabus includes leg grabs for grading. Ofc, only relevant if you are in the UK

Im pretty sure the BJA removed the leg grab throws from the syllabus with the new scheme no? I had to do the leg grab throws for all my gradings, but they are definitely not on the new syllabus the BJA have published - https://www.britishjudo.org.uk/get-started/grading/kyu-grade-scheme/

Just checked: no leg grabs in any of the new syllabus. Meh

They've all been added into the new Dan grade syllabus, but only in pieces from 2nd-5th Dan.
