The kuzushi can be achieved by grabbing the wrist or inside the crook of the elbow, or if he is wearing a shirt then you can use the normal Judo grip.
In reality though you don't need as much kusushi when using the throws against non-judoka. Usually If I grab someone around the head as in koshi garuma, dip low, and spin as I lift I can generate a lot of power without even needing a lot of pull. I have used this successfully many times in no go sparring in BJJ also modifying it to either a uchimata or harai.

I know how you do it, that wasn't the question. The question was if you are taught to do it in your judo classes. Learning kuzushi in bjj is way way different then in a judo class. BJJ focuses a lot on wrestling style pummeling, wrist control, and head control. These are things I have never seen in my years of judo.
You fight like you train, no more or less can be expected.
