Nimzo-Larsen Attack is new to the dojo
Default

I will second what Bruce Van Dumb is saying.

My main art is kung fu (Pigua Quan) Not having a shuai jiao (chinese wrestling) school near by and not sure they do ground work anyway. I elected to take up Judo to make me more complete.

Most Judo schools/clubs also practice Judo as a martial art. Judo has all the same katame waza (grappling techniques) as jujitsu. Judo (not sport judo) focus more on Nage waza (throwing) than jujitsu (jujitsu focus more on the Katame waza)......that is all....At most Judo clubs or schools you will have judoka that practice the sport of judo and some who practice the martial art of Judo...then some do both..(like me)
