Does kodokan judo teach sankaku-jime and other newaza(ground techniques) that found in bjj?

Question

kodokan judo

Answer 1

Kodokan Judo teaches most if not all of the ground work found in BJJ.  BJJ just focusses more on groundwork and the transition/takedown to groundwork, therefore you may assume that BJJ has better groundwork.  BJJ also will do work without the GI, which Judo probably won't do----for insurance and safety reasons.  

Judo does not allow ankle or leg locks in competition.  That does not mean that a Judo teacher does not know them necessarily.  Also, you may have a Judo teacher who cross-trains in BJJ (as if they are all that different).  Ask your teacher, as some Judo players also are former wrestlers or may do MMA or BJJ as well.

Kodokan Judo does a 50-50 split between standing and ground grappling.  BJJ is 80% ground, 20% standing.  

Please don't make the mistake of thinking that because you have done a little bit of BJJ that you can go do ne-waza with a brown or black belt Judo player and win.  Or, that because you have a green belt in Judo that you can take 9 months of BJJ, come back to Judo and beat a brown or black belt in ne-waza.  

If you're even more curious, go get a copy of the "Kodokan Judo" book, so that you can see exactly what's taught in Judo.

But if you still have doubts, ask the BJJ dude on Human Weapon what happened when he played Judo:

Sensei Okawa knew how to stall out the sankaku choke because Judo does the same choke.

Answer 2

Judo has a lot of the same ground techniques as BJJ, however since the emphasis is on different things. "Stalling out a triangle" might work in Judo because you have 30 seconds on the ground to get work done, that won't work in BJJ. Same goes with an ippon throw, you have to roll through your opponent in judo. If you do that in BJJ, your opponent is going to take your back and choke you.

The biggest difference between a standard BJJ player and Judo player on the ground is the transitions between moves. A bjj player will tend to have more attacks and better movement.

If you want to learn a good ground game, train BJJ. If you want to learn how to throw someone, do judo. If you can, train both.
