How to teach BJJ without drilling (ecological game design with Greg Souders)

[@AnaranjadoGuitar]

Game design is super hard. I really admire that you posted your struggle as you went through it. It's important to show how much thought and effort goes into game design. Great work, brother. Very impressed by this.

[@joshbeambjj]

Thanks a lot! I agree, it's super important to understand that there's a lot more nuance to training this way than people might think at first glance. Appreciate you watching and for the feedback!

[@ngphil11]

Game design really is difficult. I find myself referring back to Greg’s games as a template for how to structure games and how to break up (or introduce) certain concepts. It’s been helpful so far but it definitely takes a lot of time and effort. But the great thing about it is that once you build out a few staple games you can always refer back to it to revisit those concepts and change things around to learn new ones. I’m not an expert but have been building these games and training with them and seeing impressive results. Hope it helps!

[@Nlaw18]

If you study Motor development and motor control (mostly sports science field) you can understand this very easy.. It’s a way to learn through exploring “affordance” (what he calls constrain to us is affordance). The problem is that in sports when in competition you need to have your skills more and more specialised. And ecological approach does not provide skills specialisation as other methods. That’s the reason most school / clubs/ academies… doesn’t teach it. it’s not like no one thought about it before, it’s just not the methodology for specialisation. We use Ecological approach with kids so understand and develop skills but then you need a more methodical approach for specialisation of that same skill. You can also teach any newbe with ecological approach so they can get the general ideia of the sport. But once they understood it…

[@allennolte6243]

It’s not though… This thought process is nothing new Matt Thornton from Portland has been preaching this since 1992…

[@AnaranjadoGuitar]

@allennolte6243 there have been coaches across many different sports who have been applying something similar to the constraints led approach without knowing what they're doing for years. It hasn't been until the early 2000s when scientists began honing in on how to codify and optimize the approach. Greg's work reflects a modern application of the method. And to apply a framework based on the real science is difficult, especially in the beginning. If you say it isn't, you're not serious. It goes much deeper than "here's some fun little games".

[@professorxavier5570]

Position, constrained, goal oriented sparring. Advice would be to smash the legs or win this battle by overcoming each barrier. Smashing the knee shield will let you use position and angle to beat frames and get chest connection. This is fabulous.

[@MNIBreanne]

This is probably the single best piece of content I've seen for showing people how CLA is different than positional sparring. Brilliant, brilliant piece of content. Well done to you for thinking to film it and bring it to the public!

[@joshbeambjj]

That's great to hear! Really great feedback, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@randysitzgolf]

This is absolutely Gold! As an older BJJ practitioner (60 y/o purple belt), I love this ideal.

[@mjkhoury]

My only complaint is that this isn’t 8 hours long covering many positions. Please call Greg and redo

[@joshbeambjj]

Hahaha, thanks for watching!

[@JonDenton]

Of all the Greg videos, and there are many, this is the best. That's a pretty high bar.

[@joshbeambjj]

That's awesome to hear, thanks for watching! Greg's the man.

[@TheMartialWay]

Can't thank you enough for this. Really demonstrates there is a lot more to the constraint approach than "positional sparring". It goes deep into analysis. Without a doubt the single best content on the constraint led approach I have ever seen!

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

Teaching how to create is so much harder than teaching how to recite something. Great video.

[@tombeans2204]

Please create more content like this, this was incredibly helpful. I have been wanting to incorporate the CLA into my own practice. I watched the Greg critique games video which made me realise just how nuanced this style of learning is.

[@JRBardown]

I think a lot of people got a misconstrued idea when Greg first started coming to the forefront of this idea, and got stuck on the semantics of “we don’t teach techniques” when in reality they do just in a more realistic way where techniques aren’t this static idea for everyone. This video is an amazing illustration on this process and how patient and in-tune a coach has to be to implement it correctly. Greg is phenomenal.

[@MartialRoller-jd2hp]

exactly!

[@joshbeambjj]

Thanks for watching, glad you liked the format of the video!

[@kaptenmemo]

Learning something new is hard. Big ups to you for 1, trying to learn and 2, putting that process out there for us to experience. Learning can be awkward and make you feel dumb at times and it takes guts to do it in public. Thanks for the great content

[@kenm6652]

Greg is a very good a patient instructor

[@joshbeambjj]

Yeah, Greg is awesome. Definitely one of the best coaches I've been around!

[@AlexAyliffe]

Im about half way through this and i have to say its one of the, if not the best video about grappling that i have seen in a loooong time.

[@kasperissimo]

Definitely the best piece of content on the ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION of the CLA. The perspective of a starting coach/learner is also very refreshing and helpful. The multi-angle setup was a cherry on top, I hope you continue documenting and publishing your journey as it is very beneficial to others. I can only hope more content from Standard is coming, a second podcast with Greg would also be nice 👏

[@josephroan6372]

Fantastic video! That’s definitely a new way of thinking about things and making the most out of live scenarios.

[@razzle-dazzle]

Such an awesome video to see the thought process behind all of this! It’s such a scientific method type of approach. It’s gonna be fun taking these insights to creating and observing our own game design. Such great work Josh!!! Was great watching Greg be a patient and Socratic tutor 🔥🔥🔥

[@joshbeambjj]

Thanks bro, had a great time making this, glad you got something from it! Greg's the man! Hopefully you and I can do some more of this together.

[@logman5357]

This is really much needed content and I hope you and Greg both know how well this illuminates the realities of the learning he is talking about

[@ValentimGrappling]

Awesome video as always. This is for everyone that thinks game design is easy and the Ecological Approach is just a "lazy way"of teaching...It's super hard and the coach needs to really understand Jiu-Jitsu on a deeper level. Great Job Josh!

[@joshbeambjj]

Thank you! Yeah that's definitely one of the criticisms I've seen a lot lately, that people think coaches just hang back and let students try to magically figure stuff out, lol. The key is the game design, which takes a lot of work.

[@fredeuhrbrand3789]

Thank you both of you! Slowly implementing the teaching method. This is great - definitely succeeded with your goals for the video!

[@denneychoi]

Honestly, single handedly one of the most helpful videos on actual application of Ecological Dynamics I’ve seen. Holy shii My Takeaways: - was good to see how much coaching Greg provides to the students in the end of the second game and the type of coaching. It looks more familiar than not. But It’s what he’s not doing or saying that is the interesting part to me. Also allowing Josh to implement the game he designed without trying to “correct” him was perfect. He let him learn to design vs handing it to him. Similarly like how he’d run a class. That was fun to see that crossover - Josh referred to Deandre’s private lesson, curious how that looks like. Not everything has to be ECO but in that context it’d be interesting how much of ECO is applied, if at all. In that format which I’d assume isn’t conducive to CLA, so I’m def curious - right now, I feel I can’t afford to *not* tell a student what they are missing like Greg did (when he said that I was like wooow). When Josh was asking for help with an issue (ie butterfly half), as of now, I can’t afford to say, “you’re missing this one thing.” We all know handing someone something isn’t nearly effective as them learning it themselves but without an effective tool to make them figure it out themselves, coaches are sort of left with straight up telling them (in this context). A Student with a specific problem that they want to solve, it makes a world of difference as far as my advice sticking but more often than not, even a hungry student isn’t enough. Might take months before it finally sticks for the student after lots of experimenting. Whats sort of wild is that ECO affords the coach to drop hints and let them figure it out themselves fairly quickly via game design and iteration. It feels like I just witnessed a technology that’d allow me to apply more coaching techniques or present things in more interesting way. That’s sort of incredible… Shoutout to Josh, Greg, and his students for making this video happen! So good

[@acaristic93]

I teach historical fencing,not grappling so take what I say with a pinch of salt. However, what I do in my private lessons is largely very similar to my general classes, just focused on the specific issues my student has asked me to help them with. You still design a game but you play one of the roles and your student another. It also allows you to be more specific with game design to really focus on a particular issue they;re dealing with. And you can tweak it as you go. Sometimes what the student needs however isnt necessarily skill development but rather confidence building or emotional endurance practice or expanding stress capacity or increasing intensity. For such things you may want an asymetric game of a particular sort. A student recently wanted to focus on using thrusts as opening actions and landing them as often as possible. Once we felt that was good we added certain opening conditions to make the game more representative to the end game(a particular tournament he was to attend). Then we also added particular follow up responses on my end and misdirections I could throw his way. If you had a student that needed to work on for example blast doubles as opening actions you'd first focus on a game that rewards blast doubles(having the opponents back touch the mat being a win condition for example,and having a cue to tap the backs of the opponents knees as you run your shoulder through them, giving them some cues on timing and potentially arm clearance tips) then you might want to add a goal of attaining side control from top position, for which you might give cues and tips similar to what was going on in the first half of the video etc. etc. You'd just be playing the other side, while they're working on those objectives,and you'd have your own win conditions too If you wanted to focus on building confidence you might make a game asymetric in their favor, if you wanted to make it a pressure test you could make it asymetric in your favor, etc. Asymetric as in,one side has easier win conditions to achieve, in fencing that could be something like one side having only shallow targets count(arms,legs when closer than the torso), and the other side having only deep targets count(head,torso,legs when at the same distance as the torso), cause you can hit the shallow targets from further away and tend to have at least a small advantage In grappling that could be like one person having to achieve a closed guard or side control, while the other might have to achieve a submission of some sort Within a private lesson you can also more easily more often change the game than in a big class with lots of folks. You can always constrain the game to something more specific if that's what your student requires. You just dont want to lose too much representativeness of the general game (bjj/judo/greco-roman/freestyle/whatever grappling style) they're interested in learning Or even if you go super-specific with one game,to have other specific games for other aspects of the general combat sport/martial art.

[@jcitycartel]

Out of all the Greg videos I’ve watched this is one of the best easily. Also I really appreciate your broll footage showing definitions or resources it was really awesome. It’s huge cause most jujitsu channels while informative can be confusing with their jargon this was super easy to understand.

[@ngphil11]

The multi-angle camera was extremely helpful and clever for this particular filming. Great content brother 🤙🏽

Great video! I have been so curious about this methodology.

[@joshbeambjj]

[@jonhand2197]

Fantastic video. Essential learning piece for anyone in the early stages of CLA. Thank you for the content Josh!

[@DontbeanNPC]

Very interesting. I've noticed with my own training that even black belt Professors that have been training and teaching for years often leave out minute but extremely important details when they're teaching. They tend to be very broad with their instruction (ex: retain your guard and don't allow them to get past your legs) but don't teach little things like how to frame, where on your opponent's body and even instances of framing on your own body (reinforcing your legs with your arm to prevent your legs from being thrown aside etc) to get to this goal of guard retention. I think this showed that we, as humans, are prone to leaving out small details either because we're so used to doing those details that we no longer even think about them or our experiences have told us that they aren't that important. I pretty much picked out the problem in your own game in the beginning before Greg said it. My thought was you must put pressure on him with your own body (watching Gordon pass guard and breakdowns of his passing has helped tremendously) so he must use his own arms to frame on you to keep the space. This then frees up your arms more to be able to push on his legs, his arms, begin to cross face, etc to get chest to chest and flatten him out. I enjoyed this video a lot so thank you.

[@7jiujitsu]

Fantastic video keep it up seriously this is the only way to train Jiujitsu it’s a lot more fun and gives you a lot more to think about and let you as a person explore well done . Ever in the uk pop up the north east in Middlesborough we happy to have you as we only teach CLA

[@jdiaz8819]

This is the type of coaching that my sons coach uses , he entered his first comp yesterday and took gold , all his teammates took gold Also , he mentioned his different style and how most coaches were just drilling old techniques

Appreciate your humility as you worked through this challenge. Props to Greg for guiding you along, letting you figure things out instead of just handing over the answers. And kudos to Rod and Noah for playing along, within the constraints and giving thoughtful feedback. All around, great stuff!

[@Expoundupon]

Love the content man, I'd watch every video like this. I try to come up with games on my own but its hard as a white belt, I have wrestling experience and I try to create games for my kids to practice at home because I know for myself "feeling" positions helps way more than steps 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. drills.

[@joshbeambjj]

Thanks for watching! Pretty soon I’ll be dropping a free collection of games my friends and I do, if you’re interested in that! If you hit me up at the email on my KZbin page, I’ll reach out to you when it’s ready

[@Hector-bj3ls]

This looks a lot like Kit Dale's approach too. I'm a zero stripe white belt, and after seeing some of his videos, and working on some small games I've seen some massive improvements. I'm now able to hold my own against the blue belts in my gym. I know they're going easy, but I've only been training for 2 months and I can now gain some positions against them. With the higher ranked white belts I'm now giving them a proper run for their money. A few of them have mentioned how much better I've become in such a short time. I told them I'm pretty sure it's because of these kinds of games.

I love the task focused games and learning with some type of resistance vs a static partner. Has Greg released any online videos on BJJ Fantics or other distributors on different games he’s developed based on skill level? I’m sure many of us who teach and coach would buy to get ideas. Thanks for the video!

[@joshbeambjj]

I don't think there's anything out there like that right now, but I'd love to see it too! I know Kit Dale has a course on task-based games, but I'm not sure the degree with which it aligns to CLA.

No wonder some coaches are getting an existential crisis doing CLA, relearning everything to design practice for it is like being a student again. I'm sure it reignites an old flame for many though.

[@joshbeambjj]

Yeah I think it definitely requires a certain level of depth on the coach’s end to really understand jiu jitsu and what skills they wanna build in the students.

[@jaumainjiujitsu]

This is beautiful! Thanks a lot Josh for sharing this with the community.

[@seacebedo]

It seems like the skill of the instructor has to be very high level in order to create games with appropriate constraints in order to reach a learning goal. If the instructor can not at least give detailed instruction on finishing mechanics, it would take new students quite a while to discover the proper way to finish recognizable submissions. This is only an example. It seemed that Josh had a difficult time constructing the game for the "new" students because of his own limitations in skill as a coach. (I really don't mean to offend Josh, especially if he does coach BJJ regularly✌️) What i am trying to say is that Greg presents the ecological method almost as a way to learn by self-discovery, when, really, the coach has to create constraints that will lead to the coach's desired outcome. Unless the constraints are perfect in each game, which they are not expected to be according to the methods in this video, it could take a long time for the student/class to go all the way from point A to point B in their learning. I can hear the argument that maybe the goal is not to teach a skill, but to allow the student to learn their own way through a problem and discover their own solution. It just seems like, without tight constraints from a highly skilled coach, this endless "play" would result in a pretty slow progression in technique but a greater development of strength and conditioning. More than anything, this is kind of a testimony of my own journey. I actually have a membership and regularly attend two BJJ gyms. One uses the ecological approach and the other is more traditional. So all this to say that i love both of them. Lol. This was a great video and i definitely plan on sharing it. Thank you! 🤙

[@joshbeambjj]

I think you're definitely right about needing a highly skilled coach (in both BJJ and who has a deep understanding of CLA) so that the practice can be designed in a way that teaches the correct skills (and also, no offense taken at all on my end, I'm still just a blue belt and have a long way to go to understanding deeply the skills to build in these positions). Luckily for his students, Greg is highly skilled in both areas. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@PinkFear]

I think one of the primary ways is by scaling the variability of the games

[@allagura7481]

Yo Josh - Come teach your boy.

[@socialist-strong]

Designing games is easy as 1-2-3, a-b-c. Tag, dodgeball, hopscotch, games are literally child's play. Designing games that are safe, teach at least one important concept, not teach anything bad, and they should be fun and approachable for players, can be more difficult. But it doesn't take a phd to start making games and improve them from there.

[@travis1687]

look up the 180 degree rule in cinematography. Your third middle angle in the half butterfly part looks strange and is harder to follow because of it. Great video btw.

[@joshbeambjj]

Yeah you’re right, I noticed this afterwards 🥲 good feedback, thanks.

[@grzegorzbigdon4931]

You found it organically that you can go to chest to chest from half butterfly but when you think about whole game not only part this is not the best idea overral without specific grip(near side underhook) besides that a lot of concepts you show are great but it is not look like holy gral in teaching martial arts

[@joshbeambjj]

Good points! Yeah once we add things like the partner off balancing me even if I get chest to chest, then we start to see that there’s more to it than just chest to chest. Thanks for watching!

[@difficult_aardvark]

I see some big problems with this approach. Essentially, this is entirely data driven and totally misses insights from first principles. Basically every other field (engineering etc) made that miatake about 10 years ago and is just now coming back around to understand the value of first principles. So i guess bjj is about 10 years behind.

[@MartialRoller-jd2hp]

firstly please make bullet points actually just bullets and not a whole wall of text.

[@joshbeambjj]

what are you referring to?

[@MartialRoller-jd2hp]

@joshbeambjj i am referring to how you put entire paragraphs and long sentences in each bullet point. a bullet point need to be concise and to the point- or else the person looking at it is just annoyed by too much useless info hence will ignore it rather than sit there deciphering the novel you wrote

[@MartialRoller-jd2hp]

@joshbeambjj an example of this: -The top player goal is to push arm in and setup the one arm in and out configuration. vs -top uke goal: setup the one arm in & out position

[@spencerh1428]

I agree with this for specific types of learners, but ultimately anyone trying to apply this approach kind of ignores the context of the video. For one DeAndre competed three years before working with Greg and two the guy had four years of wrestling with over 100 wins the way this was phrased in the video was a little misleading.

[@groundgametheory]

Deandre isn’t even in this video 🤣

[@paintpaintpaintco.6039]

This is just positional sparing.

why everyone in echological jj is gay? Am I the only seeing a pattern?

I thought that was the case just for jiu jitsu in general?

[@biggainzgrappling9139]

dont like this approach, you spend time training bad habbits that arent necessarily the best option in that position could told the bloke to use a near side underhook in 5 seconds not wasted 15 minutes this approach aint it just show them some good options and drill 100 reps then tell the partner to try harder, that will present the degrees of new problems. i bet john danaher wouldnt fool with this but maybe he would idk

[@gregsouders9648]

Congratulations bro! You’ve done it! You’ve solved the problem of cognition in motor control, the problem of transfer, and helped us understand the true nature of specificity all in one run-on-sentence. It’s nice to know that we can all now halt our efforts. Thank you sir.
