Thanks guys.

To my understanding Judo is mostly take-downs and throws, which I'm inclined to try, but it would be nice to learn some grappling as well.

I've heard some judo clubs do half standing and half ground though, which would be awesome!

Just out of curiosity because I've done some research on concussions before, but does anyone know how safe judo is from concussions? Just wondering, because it seems like unlike BJJ, the shear volume of throws to the ground might seem like it causes repetitive trauma to the head. On the other hand, I also feel like if done properly, the mats are good for shock absorption. I can't imagine it being near as dangerous as boxing where you actually get struck on the head.
