After Deandre Corbe won the 2024 ADCC West Coast Trials -66kg division, I sat down with his coach Greg Souders to discuss his unique approach to training Jiu Jitsu... which involves no drilling at all.
Dive deeper with Greg and I on the science-backed, but controversial, ecological approach for sports training (and specifically, the constraints-led approach) to see whether we should be drilling at all, whether or not Deandre’s performance proves this approach, and most importantly... does Greg even care if it does?

Loved this interview with Greg. It was refreshing in that it wasn't the exact same questions as every other. To the people trashing CLA or Greg - it's completely normal to be resistant to it and skeptical early on, but I'd encourage you to give it a shot for a month or two. Also, Greg doesn't say that the traditional method and/or drilling doesn't work at all, he just has the opinion (backed by scientific research and academic study) that there's a more efficient way. Even if you set aside the reserach behind CLA for motor learning and skill development - the energy in the room is far better than the traditional approach, IMO. To each their own though - it's just another way to consider. No one is holding a gun to your head telling you you have to do it.

@AEBJJ159 2 месяца назад

Why are we acting like the Corbe brothers came up under this method? They arrived as elite black belts who had wrestled all their lives. Nothing against the method, but using them as an exemplar of the method is just silly. They learned BJJ by drilling for years.. exactly what Greg criticises.

@Matt2299 2 месяца назад

Why do you think the Corbe brothers chose to move to Rockville to train under Greg? There has to be something to that, no? Sure they didn't train under that method up to blackbelt, but they saw something that made them want to stick with this method, and it seems to be working out for them.

@@Matt2299 For sure! I have no doubt that Greg is a great coach who really cares about his guys. I'm also not someone who says the ecological approach is bullshit (I use it daily and have done for a long time). I want the conversation to be fair when we're talking about it and not holding people up as examples without giving the whole story about how they got there. It's dishonest, especially when people are selling instructionals on this stuff (this is not directed at Greg). As for them moving there; thousands of people move all over the world to train every year. I'm not sure a handful of people going to a gym really shows much.

@TheTechPapi 2 месяца назад

I think this is a debatable approach and IMHO active drilling at various dynamic levels of intensity progression has worked well for me -- especially scenario deepdive. In Judo proper repetition is extremely important in order ro develop muscle mem and confidence. In randori-only practices unless a partner allows and accepts the ippon does help in the "ecological" growth of the practioner. However, that is not always the case. There also minute details that have to be taken into account in order to incorporate them and subsequently perform them with power and speed. Uchikomi here ia essential.

@jclarkecoach 2 месяца назад

To play devils advocate, how does ‘active drilling at various dynamic levels of intensity progression work’? I come from a Straight Blast Gym background which works around the 3 I method (Introduce, Isolate and Integrate) so I’m familiar with aliveness and progressive resistance, but what is 25%? What is 50% if you’re going 25% but I have to go 36% to get it working is that ok? & do you then go ‘52%’ if we can quantify what that is to stop me being able to achieve success?

@TheTechPapi 2 месяца назад

Yeah that's a good point... But yeah it's exactly that at what I was referring too. It's hard to quantify exactly what 30% mean exactly. I think when I do it my resistance is way looser when playing guard allowing my partner to execute the pass. At 50% I start being more annoying and responding more in a nonlinear fashion -- switching grips or frames for example. Then on a free situational I then start in the scenario but now I add way more pulling and off balancing ... Not necessarily that much strength but way more annoyance and control. Hey BTW that methodology of training at your gym sounds interesting -- haven't heard of it until now.

For the people who don't know, Deandre doesn't pretend that he's never drilled. He openly says though that he had to unlearn a lot of what he was taught to acclimate to the new approach.

Just look at Judo, the beauty and efficiency of the techniques at Olympic cannot be achieved without patterns being baked into their training.

The biggest difference about Judo and BJJ is that the skill ceiling to execute a Judo throw is MUCH higher compared to BJJ. A BJJ is filled with techniques that requires much less drilling, which could be an explanation why the ecological may be appropriate. Static drilling is CRUCIAL for beginner Judo, and to a some degree, lower level BJJ. From what I understand, you need build a foundation first before you start the Ecological method, and what is considered "adequate" could vary person to person. You start using the ecological method too early, you may end up building bad habits, or may even halt your progression, due to amassing too many bad habits. In Judo the drilling is much more critical in terms of practicing the art. A bad throw can hurt the Uke and the Tori. It takes months of learning how to fall and to execute a move to start randori. Starting practice too early will likely result in poor training experience or even injury.

I run the beginners program at my dojo using CLA and small sided games, and I almost don't have them do any static drilling outside of maybe warmups.

I also almost always have beginners start taking falls from day 1. It's been 2 years I've been teaching like this and so far the only injuries I've seen is a torn thumb ligament from it getting stuck in the gi during grip fighting, few sprained toes and a sprained ankle. Since I'm not the head instructor I don't have full control of of the curriculum and work in whatever ecological approach tools I can, but from what I've seen so far I agree with Greg regarding uchikomis.

Only after they are able to do the movement would you do that in order to build muscle memory. "Resisting opponents" is a hard way to quantify when a person is able to execute a throw. Does it really count if the person that is being throw doesn't know how to resist?

Do golfers repeatedly practice core skills? 3-gun shooters? Boxers? Basketball players? Getting good at anything requires repetitive practice. This is just some guy trying to carve out his own "special" niche to be different, in spite of reality or sound reasoning. He wouldn't sound cool if he had just said, "we don't drill too much."

@joshbeambjj 2 месяца назад

I think the thing about golfers though, for example, is that they are doing isolated movements as part of the actual sport, which actually Rob Gray provides a lot of examples of in "How We Learn to Move", and "Learning to Optimize Movement". The CLA is still valid in that case. Actually, he uses a lot of popular sports (striking and basketball as well) at length as examples that have been studied (as in, actual scientific studies) for the ecological approach (and the CLA, differential learning, etc.). The literature goes quite in-depth on those.

@daze8951 2 месяца назад

the thing is bjj is like weight lifting, you have to start with low weight and then build strength to go to the heavier weight using the thing called "progressive overload". I think bjj is the same, you have to start slow and no resistance which is drilling and start your way to more resistance and more fast till you dont have to think about the move to actually do it, the details around it and environment will always be different, but doesnt mean the technique is different itself, its basically saying like if you're making a business, you can't follow how top business do, because its a different business? no you can always follow them of how they work and then adapt that concepts and implementing it to your business, in BJJ, its the same, lets say you do sumi gaeshi, the important thing is pushing your leg to the ground to generate force and removing their hand to base, does that mean with different opponent, the concept of pushing your leg to the ground and removing the hand to base changes? NO its still the same. This way of training of bjj, which you remove drilling and just do sparring, its basically like what you call in weight lifting "ego lifting" where you are not strong enough to lift the weight but you do it anyway. Its basically the same thing with jiujitsu, whats the point of doing the move if you dont know the details and how to actually properly do it. i do find this interesting though if you already know jiujitsu and you're basically like already high level, this way of training maybe could work, but for a beginner this way of training definitely doesnt work.

As someone who teaches exclusively using the ecological approach. Beginners respond to this extremely well. I’ve seen progress in 2 months from beginners that I would only expect from someone after a couple years of training.

@AEBJJ159 2 месяца назад

@@pdsm1552 As a coach who has used all sorts of methods, @daze8951 is 100% correct. Relying purely on the ecological approach and never drilling will stunt development. Relying on people figuring everything out themselves is so stupid. The reason the sport has grown so quickly is because we can look at what people did before us and build upon that (that goes for developing any skill). Practice isn't difficult to get right: Drill with no resistance until your body can do the movement > progressively add resistance until you can hit it against good guys in live rounds > Troubleshoot any specific issues along the way by adding constraints to focus training on those issues. Rinse and repeat.
