I agree. It wouldn't be difficult to integrate the two together. It does depend on what your objectives are. I trained in Judo many moons ago, but still remember quite a bit of it. Nowadays, I tend to do grappling based on BJJ and other ground-based systems, but the Judo did give me a little bit of grounding in it.

I have gotten away with a few Judo throws when rolling, but it's normally me just playing around with things to see if it works for me!

Mind you, I watched Pride FC the other day, and didn't Yoshida take down Vanderlei Silva with a hip throw?
