I guess that's a classic example of "playing your opponent's game"? The Judo club I worked with was mixed when it came to ne waza. Some would go for it and some would just stand up or work to get the ref to stand you back up. Most judoka that I have talked to prefer to work primarily on stand up, especially against larger or stronger opponents.
I wonder, did anyone know you were bjj during the tourney? Probably not if they consented to go to the ground with you.
