What do you think of all the talk about ecological learning and BJJ? It sounds a lot like the The stuff you were known for. Especially the book “ how we learn to move”
@@kitwarchilddale Its setting up a learning environment that teaches people instead of direct instruction. So for example you add constraints like " your goal is to start from the knees and get chest to chest and hold for 5 seconds and then start over" This is always done with resistance. This lets people explore and innovate. The minigame informs the metagame. That book I mentioned (How we learn to move - Rob Gray PhD) is very good at explaining it. The first chapter is called "The myth of one correct repeatable technique". Greg Souders at standard jiu jitsu was just on the Sonny Brown Breakdown podcast talking about it. He shows the "games" he uses on IG. Its become very popular in professional sports and wrestling at UPenn. Again reminds me of the stuff you taught years ago.
@@impolitikful yeah its really cool to see people are catching up and seeing how powerful this is. Maybe I won't have a job soon, since people know what I'm talking about ;) but it's the way to learn!
The ecological method of training has transformed my jiu jitsu. I’ve been dissecting information (a few books in including both of Rob Gray’s books) on how we really learn, and I’ve built games around constraints that inhibit certain actions, which allows us to explore and problem solve. It’s fun, mentally invigorating, great physical activity, and dramatically reduces risk of injury. I can’t find a school around that teaches like this (and like Kit), so I’m having to try to train outside of class hours with a few guys to experiment with this style of skill acquisition. Everyone involved is dramatically improving lol. I’m only a purple belt but I’m trying to take initiative in helping us learn more efficiently with concepts and principles.

I haven't really been updated to what people are teaching these days, can you give me some input on "ecological learning"?

@@awakenotwoke6930 what state are you in?
lolololol "very conditioned one"
Great lesson! I like how you add what the opponent tries to do. Thank you!
I can't wait to chop off my training partners' forearms! Thanks!
Glad to see you back on UA-cam, Kit!
I wonder what kind of things Kit would build with Legos
