No, you are wrong, Judo does not emphasize the pin, it is actually more effective against more than one opponent than BJJ for example. This is a common misunderstanding, but in Judo if you train hard you can get the black belt in two years. The black belt in Judo is not nearly the same as the black belt in BJJ, it takes 6-8 years to get the black belt in BJJ, so that is the equaliant of a 2-3rd degree blackbelt in Judo, and belive me if you are 3rd degree black belt in Judo you do not study pins and throws anymore
In Judo you are actually just considered a beginner untill you get the blackbelt, when you get it it meens you can really start studying Judo
