A way I helped people is play some mods with them, for example, for aikido I played a lot of soccer and handball mods, it helps me to be quick on the feet and at the same time makes you think ahead. You don't necessary need to practice only in a single mod, you can take experiences from others and use it for the mod, of course I'm not saying just quit playing judo and start playing other mods, but practice on judo plus other several mods.
