You guys that have mentioned you do judo as well, did you go through through this weird transitional period as well?
When I stared Judo I was doing Boxing at the same time ( and place) and doing Karate too.
Never had that problem.
I know a boxer that took judo with me and he had a bit of trouble with the different footwork, but that's because he moved too much.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
