I would agree for the opposite reason. I see a lot of Judo places that have suboptimal, overly long conditioning routines that don’t integrate Judo.
The good places, usually competition heavy with high level players, will have you doing hard drills rather than a lot of pushups and sit-ups and squats.
Most of them even in good judo countries like Netherlands belgium france....
Wrestling clubs i never saw anyone out of shape, they always strong, athletic as hell, for anything who trains moderately hard even...
Ofcourse on high level this dissappear, and olympic judoka or world-class are just as good as Wrestling dimg get me wrong
