The good news is that the ecological approach is gaining steam fast in the jiu jitsu world. The bad news is that the bad faith arguments and big misunderstandings are already bogging down the message.
One of the biggest charges leveled against Ecological training is that the terminology around it is not just too technical but in fact MEANINGLESS. This is a bizarre accusation, but it's being repeated all over YouTube, Reddit, Discord, and beyond.Today, BJJ black belt and Jiu Jitsu supervillain Greg Souders joins me again to tackle this accusation.
Greg has a very particular language he uses to describe training, jiu jitsu movement, and to cue athletes during performance. Most of it is pulled from the scientific literature directly, but all of it is inspired by his studies across Ecological Dynamics and separate-but-related focus of attention literature.
