You know, that matches my experience.
But being crushed in sparring when your brand new might just convince the beginner that they're starting something that works. Or maybe BJJ guys could stand to be nicer on new guys... No maybe about it haha.
The first month I'm more worried about the class structure than the randori style, though.
I think it more has to do with the nature of the sport differences... judo more likely to hurt your training partner/opponents than BJJ, not to say BJJ isn't dangerous by any means of course.
I will say "leave your ego at the door" seems to be said more at BJJ than Judo, but i see more people with egos at BJJ than Judo. Maybe that's just my sliver of the universe I've observed 😂
