At risk of being pedantic, it always bothers me when people use this kind of data and label it "highest percentage xxx". This is a count of successfully completed takedowns. You can't say anything about the success *rate* until you compare that to the number of times each technique was attempted. It's possible that scissor sweeps are more efficient per attempt than double legs but doubles are simply attempted orders of magnitude more often, but you can't tell from this information.

YesWhat are Greco takedowns, is it any wrestling take down from the waist up? So body lock takedowns suplexes , hip wizzers?
There may be some evolution in the future where shoots become negated by improved defences and it becomes all about hip throws but I highly doubt it.
You still get a rough idea of whats rubbish and whats not, its not crystal clear granted but we all know in MMA shoulder throws and hip throws are poor compared to wrestling shoots, theres been plenty of Judo, Sambo etc guys to test their throws vs the wrestlers abilities and Judo comes up short for this transitional stage of fighting (at least with no upper body clothes on)

It's my experience that it's hard to get young/new people have trouble because hitting the inside trip right requires a commitment in the sag that feels really scary at first. You need to slowly develop the confidenceI wish there were more inside trips, they are so simple; yet work so greatly whenever used.

It's very hard to teach. I don't think I've ever gotten beginner Judo students to do it correctly, and it's because they simply won't drop their level enough because it feels so dangerous. Though in all fairness, I didn't have a good ouchi gari until I was already a black belt. It's not an easy move.
It is also hard to finish an inside trip unless you have a really strong pull to set it up, which is hard nogi. Outside trips are way more common in mma than in judo, and inside trips are the reverse. It's just a different game.
