Ep. 390: Making Jiu-Jitsu Accessible, feat. Ryan Rich & Max Corteggiano

This week, we're joined by returning champion Ryan Rich and first-timer Max Corteggiano! Ryan is a third-degree black belt who owns Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu in California and was one of the early adopters of the constraints-led approach, and Max is a first-degree black belt from France who runs BJJ Flowcharts. In this episode, Ryan and Max break down what they've learned from building BJJ Games together, a project focused on making CLA simple and accessible for coaches and students. Topics include: simplifying the constraints-led approach, the blended ABC and eco method, designing games around invariants, attention spans in coaching, and ditching the warmup.Check out BJJ Games:https://bjjgames.comCheck out BJJ Flowcharts:https://bjjflowcharts.comTrain with Ryan at Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu in Granite Bay, CA:https://granitebayjiujitsu.comMental models discussed in this episode:Constraints-Led Approachhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/constraints-led-approachConcepts Over Techniqueshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/concepts-over-techniquesWin Conditionshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/win-conditionsEcological Dynamicshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/ecological-dynamicsCognitive Loadhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/cognitive-loadInvariantshttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/invariantsEffortful Retrievalhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/effortful-retrieval⬆️ LEVEL UP with BJJ Mental Models Premium!The world's LARGEST library of jiu-jitsu audio lessons, our complete podcast network, online coaching, and much more!
