Adam Singer shares his 25-year journey in coaching BJJ and MMA, explaining how ecological dynamics and the constraints-led approach creates more effective grapplers despite less technical instruction.• SBG's "aliveness" approach filters effective techniques through realistic testing• Traditional drilling methods often fail to transfer to live situations• Ecological coaching creates environments where students learn through problem-solving• Students become effective before becoming efficient in their movements• Culture, environment, method and athletes function as one interconnected system• Belt promotions based on effectiveness against peers rather than technical knowledge• Students know fewer named techniques but perform better in live rolling• Scaling drills through modified constraints allows mixed-level training• Creating representative designs helps techniques emerge naturally• The coach's role is primarily to create optimal environments, not to provide informationIf you're interested in learning more about ecological coaching, follow Adam on Instagram @AdamSingerSBG where he shares insights and training methods from his ongoing exploration of coaching methodologies.Support the showGET OUR FREE EMAILS - https://pjfitnesscoaching.aweb.page/GrapplersPerspective Co-Hosts: Paul Johnson (Glasses) and Danny Allen (Beard)Insta - https://www.instagram.com/bodyforbjj and https://www.instagram.com/rollingstrongbjj Audio & Video Edited, and Produced by Paul Johnson Looking to find, organise or manage seminars?
