What is CLA in BJJ?

training

CLA stands for Constraints-Led Approach, also called ecological jiu-jitsu. It is a training methodology built on the idea that people learn better when they solve problems in motion rather than repeating pre-planned moves on a cooperative partner. CLA emphasizes adapting to chaos rather than choreography, using games and variable practice instead of traditional drilling.
