Jared All I can suggest is to know a lot of unusual alternatives for common submissions. Judo allows only a certain handful of submissions and judoka know how to defend against them. What they don't know how to defend against are legal submissions from really strange angles and positions.
Szczepankiewicz They guy I fought for the second time figured out I was BJJ, but I wasn't letting him throw me so there wasn't much else he could do. Once I got the shido he didn't have to worry about scoring, he just had to worry about not being submitted (at which point I stepped up my attacks).
Because of Judo's strict rules a lot of jujitsu's advantages are eliminated, so my only significant advantage was that they had no idea what the hell I would do.
