My experience is that BJJ culture (not including annoying keyboard warriors lol) is more chill too. I train at a gym with strong BJJ and Judo programs, and there’s a lot of cross-training. In general, the BJJ folks tend to approach Judo with a “hat in hand” mentality—they’re just trying to improve their stand-up game. The Judokas, on the other hand, usually show up to BJJ class with the intention of landing a bunch of monster throws on people with weak takedown defense, then they disappear for a few months—only to return and do it all over again.
Again, just my experience… maybe it’s different at other gyms.
