Dojos trying to enforce you to fight the japanese way. I personally disagree with that. I was never comfortable with Japanese style so I switched to georgian. Had better throws.

Are you actually fighting the Georgian way though? It is easier said than done without a coach from that style.

I train in azerbaijan and mostly you meet 3 types of styles : pure japanese, sambo and georgian. Our coach teaches us a lot of georgian grip fighting grips and we drill it a lot.

I also tried sambo but felt defensive.
