How much groundfighting is there in Kodokan Judo?

I know Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes more on groundfighting and Judo emphasizes throws, but how much groundfighting in Judo. Do you learn groundfighting in every class, every other class, never, ect.?|||I am not familiar with that style of Judo.





Judo is at least 50% ground work, or was in my experience.





We would spend half the class working on throws, then the other half we would actually begin on the ground. There is one exercise where you begin with your back against another seated student. That is the beginning of the ground portion of the class. We also learned joint locks and how to avoid them and escape.|||Well I don%26#039;t know about Kodokan Judo but I took a Korean deviant of Judo that focused on a lot of ground fighting. Honestly when ever I see ground and pound fighting in UFC it looks to me like Korean style Judo. However, Japanese Judo tends to be a lot more gentle and focus on more throws then ground fighting. i was told that the Korean deviant is a mix of Judo and Tekkeyan the Korean art that inspired Tae Kwon Do.|||there are some grappling techniques too (like arm bars, chokes using gi%26#039;s, big difference is leg locks are not allowed in judo), but not to the extent of jujitsu and its growth has modified to adapt. remember judo is a watered down version of jujitsu basically. judo in general is more sport oriented and has a scoring system. so the throws are counted with points, if you take down your opponent you can pin them down to score too.|||well i do judo and the battle after the throw is ground fighting, so if u do jiu-jitsu just learn the throws and ur set man
