Judo definitely helps. Any full contact martial art will, and Judo is the one with the most contact (at kids level) and lowest chance of serious injury. Wrestling too, but Judo typically covers more.

Plus the fitness of course. Judo helps enormously with core strength.

BJJ borrows a lot from Judo, particularly the grappling.
