In a word, no. But, I think I see what the people you talked to are getting at. Judo was created from 3 different styles of jujutsu. During the Tokugawa era, there was war. The samur

 

ai used various styles of jujutsu as their empty hand combat. The meiji era began after the fall of the tokugawa - it was a time of peace....swords were outlawed, and there was no longer a need for samurai, or for jujutsu. In hopes of keeping jujutsu alive, jigoro kano removed the strikes and the dangerous throws and locks from the various styles of jj that he knew, added new aspects of training, such as randori (sparring - the jj guys didn't spar) and the result was judo.

 

There's more to it than that, and more after, like how his judo guys schooled the jj guys, but in a nutshell, that is judo's history.
