Ecological Dynamics/Constraints Led Approach for BJJ Workshop

Ecological Dynamics/Constraints Led Approach for BJJ Workshop is a coaching-methodology workshop held in Littleton, Colorado, on September 12, 2026, taught by Dr. Rob Gray. Rather than drilling isolated techniques, the workshop applies the constraints-led approach — using modified environments and games to guide grapplers toward discovering their own movement solutions. This workshop is aimed more at coaches and serious students interested in how people actually learn skill than at those looking for a straightforward technique seminar, so it's worth going in with that expectation. Rob Gray is an Associate Professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, host of The Perception & Action Podcast, and a skill-acquisition specialist who has consulted for the Boston Red Sox. He's the author of "How We Learn to Move," "How to Be an Ecological Coach," and "Learning to Optimize Movement," and applies his research on ecological dynamics and perception-action coupling directly to grappling in workshops like this one.
