It is not readily presented at the onset, but they do study strikes.four years of Judo and I have yet to see a strike!!Even then I dont think that Judo strikes would be more a distraction to help control a opponent into throw position, as a blow!!

If your instructor is not presenting such, then it is likely he has foregone some of the self-defense/combat training for more of the 'competition training.'More of a question really!Ahh, okay... because you end everything with exclamation points, it's hard to determine whether you are asking a question, presenting a thought, or screaming an opinion.
