I think a lot of Judo schools overlook pin escapes/reversals in their programs. I also believe that they generally overlook groundwork in favor of throws. At Dynamic MMA, we teach Kodokan Judo as a complete grappling art that makes use of all opportunities.
BJJ academies haven't spent enough time focusing on grip fighting as they should. Now, things are changing and BJJ schools are beginning to realize the paramount importance of gripping and grip breaking. We knew it all along! ;)
Mas Oyama once said, "one good throw is worth five good punches". This was coming from a man that killed bulls with his Karate reverse punch. Let it also be noted that he was good friends and training partner with Judo legend Kimura. Kimura was famous in Japan for giving concussions with his Osoto-gari.
