It depends on the judo club. The judo club I go to is a good club, but it seems like the instructor is the only one thats really great on the ground. He can tap me pretty quick. There are normally 2 brown belts in there that have been in judo for years and they are pretty good, but no more skillful than a bjj white belt. Personally I do not think they do enough mat work. And since this club is so tournament oriented, they want to get throws and pins more than submissions.
A while ago there was a judo black belt that came to my bjj class from some small town in kansas.. i can't remember where. I unfortuanately missed that class but what i heard is one of the white belts that hasn't even been in the class that long (6 months maybe) had no problem hanging with this guy. The white belt didn't end up tapping him, but he mounted him and rode him for several minutes until the judo guy just gave up. If the judo guy had decent mat work this would not have happened.
Don't misunderstand this as an insult to judo. I like judo a lot and wish I had time to do it more.
