    Judo is more fun for me, but also more painful!

    i know a blackbelt in judo that is transitioning to BJJ, he has great ground game but ive seen him taken down easily with
    single and double legs and ankle picks.

    The style of aiki jiujitsu I train in focus's heavy on throws but not in the traditional judo sense working more from the clinch. I love how Jon Jones attacks from the collar tie that osoto gari sweep is sweet ( don't know the wrestling term). I'm surprised more greco guys like Hendo and Couture dont use those sweeps and throws.

    I think wrestling, but just because the takedowns are fast and direct, and as you can see with most people in MMA, its hard to defend takedowns.

    Not to say that one is better than the other, I think you should know both but here is a clip of some kid Seoi Nage-ing the crap out of another kid in a wrestling match.

    That is also a throw taught in wrestling. It's just called and arm throw.

    Yeah, I know but this kid trains in Judo. There's a whole backstory via the comments on youtube.

    Haha. I hear ya. I was the same way. I love this site. It's the only place I take part in the forums.

    Btw, I am a wrestler and I go for single leg takedowns mostly, but you have to be very careful of guillotines. And if you can't get the takedown you can pull half guard or deep half.
