>>746259BJJ would get you results faster, in half a year you can start going to tournaments, "survive" on the mat and even hit submissions - maybe not against a higher BJJ belt but probably enough for MMA.
Judo is great, but it takes some dedication at the beginning, before you can see any results. People don't give up their balance that easily, you first need to get good at executing the bare throws, then you need to learn how to break their balance and finally you need to think in combinations. Every Judo throw gets set up by a different one.. And it's pretty useless to start using combinations before you can excecute the throws properly, you should "mean" every throw and only switch to the next one when you see it won't work.. action/reaction and so on.
So if you are patient enough, take Judo, otherwise BJJ.
>>746267Judo groudnwork doesn't have the structure and finesse of BJJ. It's fairly reasonable to compare Judo groundwork to BJJ throws:
In BJJ you might learn a throw which also present in Judo. But in Judo you learn more variants of this throw, more details, more set ups and so on.
Also it's a matter of the goals: Judo groundwork is fast and strong, because you don't have much time. Someone turtles up and you immediately attack him, turn him, set up a lock and finish it.
BJJ is more slowly but also more about being sly: open something here, change there attack his arm, then you attack his other arm it's over.
That's why a BJJ guy (who can withstand the judo guy's pressure) will know tricks that the judo guy doesn't.
The Judoka who win at MMA don't do a fucklaod of movements, they do a clean takedown and immediately put you in a very strong position where you can't escape from.
It's a matter of what you like more.
