im aware he started in Jujutsu. all of the top students Jigoro Kano worked with to create Judo all came from seperate Jujutsu schools and so did most of his top students that got into Judo after it was formed. for a while anyway.
regardless some crosstraining will help anyone. wether its a somewhat traditional Jujutsu, some underrated Judo, or some brazillian form, knowing what to do if you end up on the ground is important. just as important as knowing what to do when you are standing in front of someone.
