I've just though of two questions I'd like to ask about Judo. Firstly; how much groundwork is there in Judo? When Judoka throw people to the ground (during sparring), do they have to get the oppenent to tap out? Or do they get back up and start again?
Also, does anyone know any good websites for locating Judo clubs in the UK? I'm trying to get my girlfriend to take up Judo, and perhaps do a little bit myself.

Ah, Steven Seagull, I bet nobody's thought of that before.
judo is like the sport version of jujitsu, jujitsu is more aimed toward self defence than anything else, your looking at eye gouging, headbutts, strikes to the groin before throwing them about.
Judo is about controlling your oponent on the floor, grappling, and guiding thier strength away from yourself, more competetive, many jujitsu students supplement thier training with judo as jujitsu includes the same ground techniques.

In Judo competitions you have 30 seconds to either submit or pin your opponent on the ground or it gets stood back up.

You don't necessarily have to tap them out. In Judo if you can get a "hold down" for 25 seconds, then you win by a pin. You can also tap them out by choke, armbar, etc.
Or if you get a perfect throw that lands your opponent flat on his back, you win by scoring an Ippon or full point.
