As for the slam from guard ... that's against the rules (the ref should break it up as soon as you clear the ground), and will get you kicked out of most clubs I've ever heard of. It takes no skill, and has a high chance of neck injury.
Funny, on the net there are still judo vs bjj threads, but in every judo and bjj club I've been in there's nothing but mutual respect, and an increasing amount of crosstraining. It's like going to chemistry profs to learn chemistry, physics profs to learn physics - bjj are the ground specialists, judo the standing specialists, so why not learn each from the specialist?

I'm not sure how you percieved this thread, but I had no intent of bashing any style. I even stated that this was not a BJJ > Judo thread because obviously I'm crosstraining in both...
