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.
