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

Eddie Bravo shares the evolution of his revolutionary no-gi jiu-jitsu system and the development of Combat Jiu-Jitsu as a bridge between sport grappling and MMA. He discusses his journey from questioning traditional gi training to creating innovative formats that keep jiu-jitsu connected to its fighting roots.

• Excitement about 10th Planet's team (Gio, Alan Sanchez, PJ Barch, Ryan Aiken, Kyle Boehm) competing at upcoming CJI 2 event
• Origins of Eddie's preference for no-gi jiu-jitsu stemming from his wrestling background and focus on MMA applications
• Story of Sheikh Tahnoon, the secret billionaire who created ADCC and transformed the no-gi competition scene
• Combat Jiu-Jitsu's introduction of strikes to keep the art practical while making competitions more entertaining
• Development of EBI (Eddie Bravo Invitational) format allowing for 16-person tournaments that MMA cannot support
• Challenges of training at 55 with injuries while still teaching and innovating
• Upcoming EBI event in San Antonio featuring UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell and other elite grapplers

Check out his next EBI event on September 12th in San Antonio, the day before UFC. It'll feature Keith Krikorian, Max Hansen, Gianni Grippo, and even UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell!
