Of course, that is assuming you are wanting self-defense. If its to stregthen grappling for those types of tournaments then somehting like BJJ would work best. However, many BJJ prationers then find the desire to study a good stand up system. Vicious little circle, huh?
I agree.

Though Judo is good, dont expect to remain in Judo, competition wise (or other) and expect that JJ/BJJ will not interfere.

Work on Judo for awhile, then worry about working on another art.

Too many people get caught up with hype, propaganda, speculation.

If you have a bonefide instructor - train.

If you are training with them, train harder and longer.

Training longer and harder will take a few years.

After a few years, move onto another art
