Are you tired of the traditional approach to jiu-jitsu training? Looking to revolutionize your practice and teaching methods? The ECO VS THE WORLD training camp in Florence, Italy is your opportunity to experience a groundbreaking methodology that's transforming combat sports.

Beyond Techniques: Training Skills Through Ecological Dynamics

This isn't just another jiu-jitsu seminar. ECO VS THE WORLD focuses on a scientific, research-backed approach that prioritizes skill acquisition through live resistance rather than the memorization of isolated techniques.

Often misunderstood as simple positional sparring, the ecological approach is a comprehensive framework rooted in sports science that offers tremendous advantages for both practitioners and instructors. This method emphasizes:

• Non-linear learning progressions
• Training with consistent live resistance
• Developing adaptable skills rather than rigid techniques
• Creating training environments that foster genuine growth

Learn From Pioneering Coaches

The camp features three renowned coaches at the forefront of ecological training methods:

• Priit Mihkelson: Estonian pioneer of defensive BB and ecological training approaches. Priit has developed new systems to help students learn the real skills behind effective defense.
• Kabir Bath: A BJJ black belt under Rafael Lovato Jr. and founder of Kaboom BJJ, Kabir brings a playful yet impactful approach that leverages non-linear training methodologies to elevate your practice—ideal for both youth and adult athletes.
• Francesco Fonte: Host and advocate of ecological dynamics in combat sports, Francesco emphasizes functional skill development over rote technique. His sessions blend technical precision with practical applications, making his teachings invaluable for both coaches and competitors.

Each coach brings unique perspectives and applications of the ecological framework, giving you a well-rounded understanding of how to implement these principles in your own training.
