Other Why the animosity towards BJJ?
I'm just wondering why I often see Judo people ragging on BJJ people. I see this a lot when a BJJ guy posts a video demonstrating a Judo throw. In the comments there will usually be a bunch of angry Judo people saying things like "BJJ = basically just Judo", and things like that.
I have been noticing this for years, but why?
I think both arts are awesome, and it would be great if we could just combine them into one big, beautiful art!

I looooove bjj and it was my first grappling art but the more i learn the more i realize that it’s just part of judo. Bjj is really just mixing grappling arts. Anytime i delve into judo or wrestling for some detail my bjj game levels up weather it’s standing or a way to pin
