I agree Onq, what I meant was that particular grappling arts still have strengths over one another.
I'm not saying wrestler's can't hip toss or that Judo player's can't shoot, but I'm inclined to think the Judo player has throw far more hip tosses than the wrestler and that at the wrestler has a better shot. Mostly because those are the emphasized techniques for beginners. Especially since the leg grab ban.
And what i was getting at is the citrus belt trap where you 'get a win' in randori. I'm all about the quickest way to win in Shiai, but if you're using your Randori time to just wrap people up and fall down and 'get a win' you're not doing much to improve your Judo.
