http://www.JudoIsLife.net - In this hard-hitting video, we dive deep into the ongoing debate between Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) and the Ecological Approach in martial arts, especially in combat sports like Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). While the Ecological Approach has gained massive popularity for its real-world readiness and adaptability, many coaches and practitioners are fooled by randomness, mistaking chaotic "play" for genuine proficiency.The truth is, the Ecological Approach should always be treated as a secondary phase, only applied after mastering foundational skills through Direct Instruction. Skipping this critical step leads to athletes who lack technical precision and crumble under pressure.We also explore how BJJ's ground-based nature allows athletes to "play their way" into a perceived level of skill, giving a false sense of competence. Unlike sports that demand high kinesthetic awareness and technical precision from the start, BJJ can make practitioners feel proficient without truly mastering the fundamentals.
http://www.JudoIsLife.net - In this video, we dive deep into the age-old debate between Direct Instruction (DI) and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in martial arts, specifically focusing on Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). These discussions have been happening for years in other disciplines like Mathematics, Language Arts, and Foreign Language Education. Now, BJJ is just starting to grapple with the same questions that Judo has been tackling for decades.We'll explore:✅ The strengths and weaknesses of both approaches✅ How they compare to teaching methods in mathematics, language arts (phonics vs. whole language), and foreign languages (immersion vs. grammar-translation)✅ Real-world applications in Judo and BJJ training✅ Why finding the right balance between structure and creativity is crucial for skill developmentWhether you're a coach, athlete, or martial arts enthusiast, this video will provide valuable insights into teaching and learning in combat sports.

The ecological approach to coaching has sparked intense debates in the grappling community. In this episode, Shintaro and Peter break down what the ecological approach really means, how it differs from traditional coaching methods, and whether it's truly the best way to train. They explore the balance between structured instruction and discovery-based learning, discussing how different learning styles impact a student's ability to absorb techniques. Shintaro also shares his perspective as both a coach and an athlete, weighing in on the controversy surrounding this training philosophy.(00:00:00) Introduction(00:02:36) What is the Ecological Approach?(00:04:40) How It Differs from Traditional Coaching(00:07:20) Why Is the Ecological Approach Controversial?(00:13:14) Making Training Fun for Different Learning Styles(00:20:33) Blending Ecological and Traditional MethodsIf you're in business, then you have customer churn.

It seems that my social feed has been getting more posts and articles about the Ecological Approach to training BJJ as opposed to the traditional model of instruction. The ecological approach focuses on setting up games or tasks, and setting constraints and conditions for the players to engage in, instead of teaching individual techniques. I do my best to describe it and give my take on this approach to coaching.

The boys from emergence are back to discuss their recently accepted and published paper on "Applying an ecological dynamics framework to mixed martial arts training". This paper followed their previous publication from 2023 "(Re)conceptualizing movement behavior in sport as a problem-solving activity".Both of these papers were supported and co-authored by Professor Keith Davids himself a titan in the skill acquisition community and a pioneer of ecological dynamic. SBG's Adam Singer, The Academy's Andy Grahn and myself were also able to provide modest contributions by way of case studies that were included in the paper as practical examples of the application of an ecological approach at our prospective gyms. Tyler Yearby and Shawn Myszka plan on further investigation and future studies in the space of MMA from an ecological perspective. Until then, check out the papers linked above and to access an absolute treasure trove of all things ecological, check out their website at Emergence.

In this episode of The Sonny Brown Breakdown, guest Scott Sievewright discusses his ecological approach to coaching martial arts. Sievewright emphasises the importance of live, unscripted sparring from day one to build relationships and develop skills, arguing that traditional techniques taught in isolation do not effectively transfer to real-life fighting situations. Sievewright believes his method can produce better, more skilled fighters compared to traditional approaches by developing movement repertoire and qualities through live, games-based play sparring. He highlights the role of sparring in correcting errors and the importance of adaptability and self-organisation in training. The conversation covers various themes, including footwork, external focus of attention, situational sparring, the relationship between distance and space in fighting, brain health in combat sports, and the challenges of transitioning from the gym to amateur fighting. Sievewright also discusses the importance of prioritising the health and safety of athletes, challenging the use of headgear in training and emphasising the need for fighters to routinely deal with pressure and compete in various events before amateur fights. He stresses the importance of individuality in training and the need for continuous experimentation and adaptation in the context of an ecological approach to coaching martial arts.
In this episode, Alex Sarama interviews Adam De Groot, a physical education teacher, basketball coach, and owner of Nightshade Training. Adam shares his journey of discovering and applying an ecological approach to coaching and teaching.

Joey Boretski talks to Greg Souders, BJJ black belt & founder of Standard Jiu-Jitsu - well-known for his approach to grappling, based on the Ecological branch of psychology, also known as Ecological Dynamics.
Today, Pedro Sierra returns to the podcast to update us on his program in two parts. Before understanding Ecological Dynamics, Sierra MMA had lackluster results. Since implementing the constraints-led approach, Sierra MMA has begun to see much more success. In fact, thanks to this change in training methodology, one of coach Pedro's students even won an ADCC Open. Pedro has come a long way since we first talked. As this episode unfolds, we discuss some of the problems he ran into and how he solved them. One of them involves round intensity and time constraints. We also discuss self-organization and how accounting for it helps us design better sparring games. Finally, this moves into a discussion about understanding what intention and attention are and how they work practically inside the constraints-led approach. --- If you're new to the show, please sign up to the Combat Learning Newsletter at combatlearning.com/newsletter.

In this episode, Travis interviews Rob Cole, an experienced martial artist and Jiu Jitsu practitioner, about the ecological approach in martial arts training. They discuss Rob's background in various martial arts, the evolution of martial arts, and the role of ecological dynamics in Jiu Jitsu. They also explore the difference between positional sparring and the constraints-led approach, and how to apply the ecological approach to beginners. Additionally, they discuss the benefits of the ecological approach for hobbyists and the challenges of implementing it in gi Jiu Jitsu. In this conversation, Rob and Travis discuss the importance of grips in Jiu-Jitsu and how different grips can be used to gain inside position and control. They also explore the concept of constraint-led classes and how they can benefit both small and large practitioners. Rob shares his approach to teaching and developing games, emphasizing the importance of representative learning design and constant adjustment. They discuss the potential commercialization of ecological dynamics and the need to maintain the scientific approach behind it. The conversation concludes with Rob offering advice for brand new white belts and where to find him online. Takeaways •The ecological approach in martial arts training emphasizes realistic and game-based training to develop practical skills. •Positional sparring is different from the constraints-led approach, as the latter focuses on creating specific scenarios and goals for learning. •The ecological approach can be applied to beginners by starting with simple and clear goals in constrained environments. •The ecological approach is particularly beneficial for hobbyists, as it maximizes training time and provides a more engaging and effective learning experience. •Instructionals can still be useful in conjunction with the ecological approach, but the focus should be on understanding concepts and goals rather than memorizing techniques. •The ecological approach can be adapted to gi Jiu Jitsu by focusing on specific goals and constraints related to grips and positions.

Do you drill techniques? Does your coach make you drill in class? On today's show we are joined by Adam Childs from the " Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast" and head coach of Vantage Jiu-Jitsu. This is a broad discussion of the benefits and limitations of isolated skill practice. Recently the popular discussion has been around 'Anti-Drilling' and the 'Ecological Approach' to learning BJJ. When looking more closely at other high skill disciplines- Dancing, Music, Gymnastics & Cooking. In order to be good at any of them there is a disciplined and systemised approach which requires immense attention to detail. Once the rules and principles have been learned then breaking away and being more experimental could help progress your learning but is this how we should all learn? This is a wide ranging discussion and Adam brings a great insight as a coach and how to help beginners improve with drilling.Check out the Beyond Jiu-Jitsu Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2mjOQYDy1L9f4wOmf49dsd?si=3a0be3511ba4420eStay Hydrated with Sodii the tastiest electrolytes in the Game!

In this episode of the Speaking Out of Place podcast, Professor David Palumbo-Liu and Azeezah Kanji talk with eminent Anishinaabe legal theorist John Borrows and philosopher Paco Calvo about how we might learn about, learn with, and learn from our plant companions on this earth. Plants show signs of communication and of learning. They produce and respond to many of the same neurochemicals as humans, including anesthetics. They share resources with one another, and when under threat, emit signals of warning and of pain. While Barrows and Calvo both urge us to listen to the Earth, during this conversation we discover that these two thinkers are often listening for different things. The discussion reveals fascinating points of difference and commonality. And in terms of the latter, the point both John and Paco insist upon is that we maintain our separation from other beings at our peril and at a loss.Dr. John Borrows, BA, MA, JD, LLM, PhD, LLD, FRSC, is Canada's pre-eminent legal scholar and a global leader in the field of Indigenous legal traditions and Aboriginal rights. John holds the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Law at the University of Victoria as well as the Law Foundation Chair in Aboriginal Justice and Governance.Paco Calvo is a renowned cognitive scientist and philosopher of biology, known for his groundbreaking research in the field of plant cognition and intelligence. He is a professor at the University of Murcia in Spain, where he leads the Minimal Intelligence Lab (MINT Lab), focusing on the study of minimal cognition in plants. Calvo's interdisciplinary work combines insights from biology, philosophy, and cognitive science to explore the fascinating world of plant behavior, decision-making, and problem-solving.https://www.uvic.ca/law/facultystaff/facultydirectory/borrows.phphttps://www.um.es/mintlab/index.php/about/people/paco-calvo/00:02 Introduction to Plant Communication00:21 Conversation with John Burrows and Paco Calvo01:11 Challenging Pre-existing Concepts about Intelligence01:37 Exploring Plant Intelligence02:32 Understanding Human Intelligence04:47 Challenging Orthodox Cognitive Psychology05:34 Ecological Approach to Intelligence07:26 The Role of Indigenous Knowledge in Understanding Intelligence09:11 Understanding Anishinaabe Law and Ethical Traditions12:09 The Role of Treaties in Indigenous Peoples' Relationships with Nature38:51 The Role of Education in Understanding Ecological Cognition45:28 The Importance of Experiential Learning and Literacy Beyond Books46:24 The Power of Ignorance and Openness to Knowledge50:00 The Ethical Obligations to the More Than Human World01:07:43 The Role of Religion in Understanding Our Relationship with the More Than Human World01:16:16 The Importance of Slowing Down to Appreciate Plant Behavior01:17:39 The Co-Evolutionary Perspective of Lifewww.palumbo-liu.com https://speakingoutofplace.comhttps://twitter.com/palumboliu?s=20
Today I'm joined by Emil Fitoussey, a professional Muay Thai coach out of Nacka Dojo in Sweden. Over the past year, Emil has transitioned his partially ecological Muay Thai program into a 100% ecological Muay Thai program. In this episode, he recounts his journey into Ecological Dynamics and the constraints-led approach. Then, we talk about how he builds the culture of his Muay Thai program to value the safety of sparring partners. Finally, we discuss several interesting practical topics, including:- Using external focus of attention to help learners self-organize striking techniques- How his use of thai pads has changed and how he uses them now- How he's changed his warmup from calisthenics-based to based on mini-games- How he helps day 1, brand new students control power output for safe sparring gamesThere's been a content desert for how to use the ecological approach to striking. Today, I'm happy to provide you with a substantial entry into what I hope will become a burgeoning community of coaches who collaborate on how to make this work for striking sports. I had incredible fun recording this series of episodes with Emil, and I'm extremely impressed with him and what he's done. Emil is a smart guy, but he's still a regular Muay Thai coach like most of you. It makes me confident most striking coaches can use CLA for their programs, too.

I talk to Greg Souders and Priit Mihkelson, two of the most forward-thinking jiu-jitsu coaches today, about their philosophies on training methodology and practice design. Greg advocates for an ecological approach focused on constraints and foundational functions, while Preet comes from a background utilizing progressive resistance. We have an in-depth discussion on motor learning, developing skills, and the merits of different systems like ecological dynamics versus traditional step-by-step technique instruction. They analyze how to best structure training sessions, teach students, and elicit desired skills with games and drilling. A debate between two grappling philosophers on the cutting edge of instruction and understanding what it takes to excel at BJJ.

Today I am joined by Coach Josh Root from Gravitas Martial Arts in Arkansas. Josh has recently re-visited an Eco D approach to grappling after initially abandoning it due to uncertainty.With a deeper understanding and support from Standard's Greg Souder's, Coach Josh is not looking back and has been all in on the approach. Enjoying some early success he is starting to get his team on board and trusting the practice design.Josh talks about his switch from a highly prescriptive and high volume drilling approach to a more games based and live learning environment. His initial difficulties making the switch and his excitement and optimism for his team going forward.As mentioned in the intro, I have been made increasingly aware of strokes from chokes in BJJ. If you have not, then you most likely will in time. Be prepared and recognize the signs and have a plan. Your own, or your teammates life might depend on it. Check out this video by my friend Chris Martin who himself suffered a stroke from a lapel choke a few years back.

I talk to Greg Souders, A Jiu-Jitsu black belt who runs his Jiu-Jitsu academy without teaching any techniques. Instead, he uses the ecological approach to skill development which has a substantial body of evidence for its effectiveness when used in motor learning. We discuss the benefits of teaching and learning jiu-jitsu in this manner and focus on how such a style can be implemented effectively.
Welcome to the Athlete Blueprint Podcast!!...For today's episode, I'm joined by Shawn Myszka!Shawn is the co director of education over at Emergence. Shawn is also a personal Performance Advisor and Movement Skill Acquisition coach for NFL players and has been doing so since 2008. During that time and up to this point, he has partnered with five NFL All Pro athletes and twelve Pro Bowl team members. Shawn is also a two time guest on this podcast. Way back in Episode 24 when he appeared alongside Tyler Yearby when we discussed their paper Applying an Ecological Approach to Practice Design in American Football. This particular conversation with Shawn really is all about storytelling . I was always curious to really what the origin story was of the Sport Movement Skill Conference. So for those of you who don't know what the Sport Movement Skill Conference is, it is really the keystone event for me when it comes to my education throughout the year. It really brings alongside theoreticians, practitioners, researchers, those who are practicing the science, and put some alongside those who are practicing the art of coaching, and really blended together unlike any other conference. We get into the origins of the SMSC and touch on the theme of this years conference. In addition to that, we really get into Sean's own origin story, where he, as always, is open, authentic, transparent, and shares some of his struggles in transitioning from an ecological approach. Obviously, Shawn was one of the early adopters of this approach and it wasn't smooth, it wasn't easy, and I was really grateful that he shared and opened up on some of those trials and tribulations for us here. I think this episode has a ton of practical applications for many coaches. We learn some ups and downs that not just Shawn experience, but all of us experience. The SMSC takes place November 4th and 5th. I'll link to the conference and the previous episode in the show note...Please enjoy!If you like today's episode, leave a review here....If you want to reach me directly, contact me on social media or shoot me @javier@igniteperformance.netEpisode Resources:Link to Sport Movement Skill Conference Emergence Website Shawn's twitter Episode 24 w/ Shawn and Tyler
In this episode, I talk with Coach Greg Souders of Standard Jiu-Jitsu , Rockville MD (Maryland).Greg is a black belt who founded Standard Jui-Jitsu several years back following many years of training and competing with Team Llyod Irvin. A product of the high repetition and traditional development approach, Greg largely abandoned the conventional ways in favor of a more ecological approach to skill development. This episode was recorded with Greg in person when I visited his gym (nicknamed the Black Temple). After a couple of days training there, it was apparent how incredibly well developed his team are and how engaging and high quality the training is. Greg's team have a unique way of communicating their understanding of the sport and interacting with each other. Greg for me, is a coach's coach and really seems to be a trailblazer for the growing ecological minded schools out there. Should anyone want to get in touch (I recommend they do). He is reachable on his social media links here. IG and Facebook and of course via his website I look forward to seeing Greg's name being tossed around in the discussion of up and coming progressive and high-level coaches. If his team keeps developing at the same rate, I imagine this won't take long!

Welcome to the Athlete Blueprint Podcast!...A podcast dedicated to long term athletic development and success!For today's episode, I decided to do a something a little different...A solo episode. Just you and me!Following my interview w/ Steph Allen on all things ACL (if you haven't listened to that one yet, here it is) I decided I wanted to do dive deep into a topic very personal to me..."My ACL Journey and Exploring Ecological Concepts in Injury Rehab"As someone who has both personal and professional experience experience w/ ACL and rehab in general, I feel there are significant deficiencies in our current return to play model. In my opinion, introducing Ecological concepts into our rehab programs can help "bridge the gap" and create better outcomes for our athletes. We look into all that today. In this episode, I discuss:My personal ACL Journey Some of the inadequacies w/ current return to play programs The high incident of ACL re-tears Some Ecological Dynamics background and theorySome potential hurdles to an Ecological approach to rehabSome different KPI's to look for in rehabbing athletesHow we can tie in perception and action into our return to play programs Some practical ways to introduce ecological concepts into our training sessions And of course, we discuss so much more!Here are the links to resources mentioned in the show:Emergence Website 2021 Sports Movement Skill Conference Recordings Perception and Action Podcast Study mentioned Movement Terminology Cheat Sheet (scroll down page) As always, if you have any questions or ideas for future episodes, feel free to contact me:Email: javier@igniteperformance.net InstagramtwitterFacebook

I speak to Niels Feddersen in this week's episode. Niels is a postdoctoral researcher in sports science at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Niels studies organisational culture and power relations in elite sports organisations in the UK, Norway, and Denmark. Niels obtained his PhD from Liverpool John Moores University. In the research, he collaborated with several Olympic sports organisations, the FA, and Premier League football clubs. Niels also has a background as a practitioner in sport psychology, primarily in rowing in the youth national teams in Denmark. We speak about a fantastic paper that Niels has contributed to entitled A Qualitative Meta-Study of a Decade of the Holistic Ecological Approach to Talent Development
In this episode, we have another emergent discussion that we record back in June after our spring seasons had ended. The discussion started with a reflection on our previous episode with Ted Monnich on how flow states can fit within an Ecological Approach to skilled behavior. We also explored the ecological concept of affordances and the role of thoughts and cognition play within the perception of affordances. We wrap up our conversation discussing the power of narrative to facilitate buy-in when presenting new information, especially data.

Data are currency. Data provide the fuel for decision-making and profit-making. Data offer evidence for enhancing health services, infrastructure, and zoning, and for addressing environmental concerns. But the collection and use of data is spurring conflicts between cities, corporate and civil society organizations, and constituents. These conflicts occur on the grounds of data ownership, access, privacy, and security.Dr. McNealy traces these conflicts to our perception of data as a singular piece of property. A better metaphor for data, she contends, would be that of a networked representation or observation in an ecosystem. Dr. McNealy argues that we require an ecological approach for understanding this era of emergent technology and data — both for creating adequate policy, and for protecting the vulnerable.This event is moderated by Data & Society Director of Research Sareeta Amrute.For more information about this talk and future events, visit datasociety.net.This talk was recorded on January 8, 2020.
