I went to a gym that uses the ecological approach (Constraints-Led Approach) to teach student BJJ... I came here to see how these types of classes are actually run, and if I could learn anything to take home with me to help in my training and that of my friends!
In this video, I'll take on the competition class / pro training at Bodega Jiu Jitsu in Maplewood, New Jersey, which will be run today by co-owner and black belt Kyvann Gonzalez.
This was one stop on my quest to understand the ecological approach in BJJ which has been trending recently, and to actually see how Jiu Jitsu students are getting so good without any drilling. This came after a few days at Standard Jiu Jitsu, where I trained with the current figurehead of the ecological approach for BJJ Greg Souders, where one of his star students, Deandre Corbe, recently won the -66kg divions of the ADCC West Coast Trials.
Thanks a lot to Kyvann for hosting me and sharing this knowledge with the BJJ community!
