What does CLA training look like on the mat?

Instead of doing 20-30 reps of a basic knee cut pass, you might play a game. For example, start in headquarters position while your partner has a grip. The passer can only use one grip break while adapting on the fly. The goal is repetition without repetition - developing adaptability, timing, and strategy through play rather than script. It is messier, but people start developing their own jiu-jitsu.
