Yes, wrestling take downs are easier to learn but are better for a nogi situation.
How many succesful wrestling take downs have you seen in a gi situation?

From watching the 97,99, mundial, and state championships, most of the takedowns are double leg takedowns. Most people (ESPECIALLY in BJJ comp), hate giving there backs. So you dont see alot of hip throws and stuff. Since double leg takedowns dont give your opponent a clean shot at your back, they are the most popular. One of the best BJJ fighers, Saulo Ribeiro, has excelent Judo throws. In fact, its on
www.intheguard.com tech factor labeld as Saulos favorite takedowns.
