Kid Chocolate, you're full of shit. Stop making comments on subjects you're not very well informed about.
I've done BJJ and Judo. Judo ground work can not and will not ever be at the level of BJJ. They simply don't practice it enough and their mentality is faulty.
My Judo instructor is fantastic at newaza but at best he might be able to hang with a purple belt. And he's been in Judo for 20+ years.
And what the hell are you talking about a junior level book in german or some shit? A kid isn't going to learn the techniques of a BJJ purple belt. And that's that. At my club and most Judo clubs, kids don't even get to learn submissions until they are 13 years old. And I suppose you think that if Judokas did know all the moves they'd be just as good, right? Wrong. A BJJ white belt might know just as many moves as a blue belt, a purple belt.. maybe even a brown belt. But they aren't worth a damn if you've never developed the skill to use them. And that's the problem with Judokas. They simply don't have the skill to use them because they havne't spent enough time doing it and aren't even allowed to do half of them.
