The Essential Jiu Jitsu Podcast. Ep.16. The ecological Approach: My Findings After 3 Months
Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this week’s episode, I discuss my findings from the last 3 months of using the ecological approach in my academy. I talk about optimizing the constraint-led approach, some big concepts that can help you become a better learner and teacher, developing a framework for building lessons using the ecological approach, and a whole lot more. If you want to start implementing this method into your lessons, this episode is for you. Enjoy the show!
