I read that interview, and while I agree with a lot of the points I find uchimata and the other throws he mentioned much more difficult than ippon seionage.
Another thing is I've won more BJJ matches by pulling guard and then sweeping than by using judo to throw the guy and pass guard. But I still lose more BJJ matches than I win, and when I lose it tends to be because I get taken down by a double leg and then submitted or I get swept when I am on top.
My BJJ coaches are of the opinion I should continue with the guard pull strategy and I should use the judo in a limited way to control grips and perhaps to go for sacrifice throws.
Thinking more my options seem to be to try to keep what I do in the BJJ class and Judo class separate or maximizing my judo for bjj.
