As a judo player myself, I would love to claim dominance, but the truth is average black belt destroys the average judo black belt on the ground, especially if the judo player does little to no cross training. We spend very little time working on ground work since the refs only give 15-20 seconds to establish a dominant position, before standing up. So naturally it isn't as important as practicing throws.
