-----A Brazilian Judoka with a good ground game, Flavio Canto tends to say he doesn’t differentiate between judo and Jiu-Jitsu in training. “They’re two sports with different rules,” he says. But they should be trained together as a whole, so the athlete will become well-rounded with finishes and takedowns. ---- GracieMag
A great judoka with a solid ground game is a dangerous gi player and I am a great fan of guys like Flavio Canto that are well rounded. Jiu jitsu and judo are so connected, that you in the end cannot fully master one without the other.

I have to admit, the second video just shows how great it is too have an all-rounded game based on judo and BJJ. Both arts are just different rules of one martial art as Flavio Canto says in his GracieMag interview and I agree with him. Too many BJJ guys just focus on the ground game but are scared when they have to stand up.
