Exploring the Ecological Approach to Learning Mixed Martial Arts

This week we're joined by Scott Sievewright!  Scott is the head coach at Primal MKE in Milwaukee and the host of the Primal MMA Coaching Podcast.  In this episode, Scott shares his pragmatic take on ecological dynamics for beginners and coaches alike.

It's a great gentle introduction to eco, covering topics such as: how eco differs from traditional methods, the importance of making mistakes, and why we shouldn't be afraid of developing bad habits.
