Hi Jared, yes, I would set them up for guard passes. Straight sport Judo players often have a weak guard since they dont play there often. They key is training YOUR takedowns whilein Judo so you can get him to the ground on his back. The rest is your game- remember to stack him so he cant roll over and bail into that turtle wrestlers position , or they will re stand you.ne you pass , Keep your crosside for a bit if you can, as you rack up points for that- In fact - if you can maintain a solid crosside for 30 seconds - you win
.
Another favorite of mine( if he is too good for me to get a clean throw myself)- is to sucker your opponent while he attempts doing
Seo Nagis,ippon seoi nagis Drop seoi nage et al similar throws. AS he shoots the throw , position your hand deep into his collar on the way down to the mat , then -aftenullifying the throw,by keepig your base too far back for him to sail you over, crank it into rear mount choke, as you will be there already. . By then it too late for him to "turtle" effectively, if hes blocking well with his hand, roll right ino a clock choke. Its all in the setup. YOu must be able to feel the throw coming to anticipate your body positioning. Good luck bro
