What is Judo Stance in BJJ?

The judo stance is a relatively upright standing position with one foot forward and one back, typically with a collar grip and a sleeve grip established on the opponent's gi. This stance differs from the lower wrestling stance and is designed for throwing rather than shooting. In BJJ, many gi competitors use a judo-influenced stance for takedowns. The upright posture allows for powerful throws but requires different takedown defense than a wrestling stance.
