Adam Singer shares his 25-year journey in coaching BJJ and MMA, explaining how ecological dynamics and the constraints-led approach creates more effective grapplers despite less technical instruction.
• SBG's "aliveness" approach filters effective techniques through realistic testing
• Traditional drilling methods often fail to transfer to live situations
• Ecological coaching creates environments where students learn through problem-solving
• Students become effective before becoming efficient in their movements
• Culture, environment, method and athletes function as one interconnected system
• Belt promotions based on effectiveness against peers rather than technical knowledge
• Students know fewer named techniques but perform better in live rolling
• Scaling drills through modified constraints allows mixed-level training
• Creating representative designs helps techniques emerge naturally
• The coach's role is primarily to create optimal environments, not to provide information
