Style: JKD, Jiu Jitsu--
Because for some people the primary reason for going to a BJJ comp is TO look cool, doing a big throw means they win, even if they end up behind on points.

Style: Judo--
Lets just be clear here. If you don't do Judo or aren't very good at Judo you aren't going to be throwing people for ippon in a way that is meaningful in a BJJ comp.
As in BJJ you not only need to throw them flat on their back but also have control with that throw so you either land directly in side control or you remain standing or you finish with knee on belly.
This of course requires a much greater degree of control then possessed by your average kyu grade and indeed many dan grades.
