NO! But I have noticed that Judo works better without the mats or crash pads. 
Judo is taught in traditional Judo Gi. Techniques that rely on gripping a Gi are less useful in an environment where your attacker(s) are naked. So RELIANCE on a throw that uses clothing for leverage or KUZUSHI is seen as a "BAD THING" by the folks that focus on MMA (where competitors are mostly naked)
