Ah Joe, I believe you mean aikido and judo both came from jujutsu. (sarcasm)

But as for judo for groundfighting, it really depends on the individual school. A lot of judo schools just practice scarf holds and simple armbars/chokes that are certainly better than than nothing, but lack the depth of BJJ grappling.

Just to illustrate this point, one of my friends who is a blue belt in BJJ went to my college judo club and tapped the black belts with no difficulty, despite some of them having years of judo experience and weight advantages.
