    in my opinion, judo blends better with kung fu then bjj. although judo has some ground work in it, it main goal isn't to drag your opponent to the ground,and fight him there. it is to toss him and remain standing. this theory blends well with kung fu. bak mei is an aggressive close range system,it would blend nicely with the clinch and throws of judo. also plenty of completions in judo.

    Anything can work. Any skills you have can be applied in any situation, that goes without saying.

    Its about the spirit of the art and the training. Aggression. Choosing something to add to your pak mei that is more compatible, I would choose the two above the one for that reason.

    I see John's stuff and I see how it could seamlessly transition from things I do, stance, position, grip.

    Judo is blunted, they use a GI even! All respect, but not like Pak Mei, and that was the question.

    but both bjj and Chinese wrestling use the gi as well and judo is much more aggressive than bjj due to the rules they fight under, but as you say anything can be used and its personal preference really

    I think of Judo as the sport version of JuJitsu. JuJitsu is more direct. to my mind, and has the joint attacks Judo lacks, or should I say, doesn't favour.

    I agree 100%. I have a feeling there are very few disciples on this forum however.

    IMO, SC is easier to be integrated into Bak Mei for the following reasons:

    - The SC training has included "striking" in mind.
    - Most of the time, the jacket is not used.
    - ...

    In the above clip, students learned "leg blocking" throw from his opponent's "haymaker". Also the "arm wrapping" is part of the basic training which can be used in no-jacket environment without modification.
