      Do you want to do more groundwork or more standup? That’s the only question you need to ask.

      There’s plenty of judo competitions outside of Japan.

        Nowhere near as many as BJJ, but yeah you'll find competitions easily enough. It's more he'll get more and with a lower chance of having to travel to get to them with BJJ.

          This is only the case in America. Judo is a global sport that dwarfs BJJ everywhere outside the US and Rio.

    You have 3 options
    Judo, BJJ, Wrestling
    Do as much of all 3 as you can,
    Do all 3 for 3 months each at the end if that 9 months period make a choice.

      Yep. The biggest contributing factor to getting good is being close to your gym. Walking distance is ideal. Real life will regularly get in your way unless you're autistic hobo like BJ Penn and sleep at your gym.

    Either is good, they're like two sides of the same coin
    Judo is mostly stand-up wrestling with limited ground wrestling; BJJ is mostly ground wrestling with limited stand-up wrestling

    Nogi BJJ. Less pajama washing, more wrestling.

    Depending on your gym they might offer multiple arts or have instructors come in. My gym has a wrestling guy train every few weeks.

      No gi is the way it has grown to include judo and wrestling(not at a high level).
      But nogi has a high focus on leglock, taking the back and standing back up instead of being in a bad position on the ground.
      It is also alot easier on cost for gear.

      This guy gets it

    Do you want something useful outside of 1v1 sportshit? Judo. Are you a homosexual? BJJ. Simple as. But freestyle trounces both as you learn the same escapes you need to get away from gay shit & you learn takedowns/throws that are more utilitarian than judo. Shit ton of Judo shit won't work unless you have powerlifter levels of grip strength or your opponent/attacker is wearing sturdy clothes.

    Whatever you enjoy most and has a convenient gym for you. (less than 30 mins). Train that for as long as you enjoy it and its convenient. Be open to other combat sports in case you need to swap out because of life circumstances or just need a break.

    Right now I do just because I can and its harder to find in the USA. If I can no longer do that, I'll go back to BJJ. If I can't do that, I'll pick up striking.

      Judo throws don't work irl. Have you seen how hard it is to throw someone

      The only thing that works irl is boxing maybe wrestling if you didn't knock him out

          not a single one of the partners attacks were actually aimed anywhere and sent with the intention of connecting
          he just intentionally stepped in and whiffed his strikes very slowly

    In BJJ, you fight and fight to get some elaborate submission move

    In Judo, you throw someone and either land in a pin or fight to either stand back up or try to get another immediate pin

    Throwing someone, even if the throw isn't the greatest but still off-balances and lands someone on the ground, can lead into knees and drop kicking techniques.

    I'd go with Judo.
