    It is overly complicated for no real reason.
    There are limited throws:
    Hip
    Shoulder
    leg
    hand

    Judo is not just Kodokan Judo, that is based more on throws and pins then submissions.
    There is Kosen that is 90% submission work, but the truth is they don't compete that much in submission...

    That is fairly common, most striking systems teach rooting and balance based on strikes not grappling and that is enough to get you thrown over and over again.

    Judo will teach you quite a bit about what goes on when someone grabs you, truly grabs you, with the intent to take you down.
    And it will teach you balance in a way not typical of striking systems....
