About this episode
This week, we're joined by Ryan Rich! Ryan is the head coach at Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu in California, and a proponent of the constraints-led approach to teaching Jiu-Jitsu. In this episode, Ryan discusses to what extent Jiu-Jitsu coaches should borrow premade skill-development games, rather than building their own.Follow Ryan and Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu on Instagram:https://instagram.com/granitebayjiujitsuLearn online with Ryan at BJJ Games:https://bjjgames.comTrain with Ryan at Granite Bay Jiu-Jitsu in Granite Bay, California:https://gbjj.orgMental models discussed in this episode:Gamificationhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/gamification ??
