Question about Judo for MMA
Hey guys I recently check out a judo school that was hidden in my area. Anyway I was told that it was Kodokan Judo , which practice about 50/50 standing and ground. I seem to be the youngest person there and most of the people are recreational judo players. Now this isn't strictly a judo school it offer other classes too , but Judo is only offer twice a week at 2 hours each class.
Do you guys think I can develop good judo here? I was told they aren't a competitive school but they aren't against competing either. My main goal is MMA, and I'm fairly young ( 20 ), I do train wrestling on the side. I am worried I won't get good and will be wasting my time. I remember reading a thread about how much better a competitive judo school was as opposed to a recreational one.
Any advice, thoughts or comments appreciated.
edit: btw I'm looking to have a good grappling based, and throws right now I would call myself a good beginner grappler. I can hang with purples (bjj) and not get tap 8/10 of the time but can't do anything else beside that ( get positionally dominated but i escape most of the time) , with blues i'm pretty even but I'm not good at submissions just good at escapes. My striking is good.

Its nice to see that there are sherdoggers who actually know what theyre talking about s opposed the heavyweights forum where 90% of the posters seem to be dribbling idiots.
