Octopus Guard - Kids CLA Version

Описание: In this video, you’ll see how we use a constraint-led approach (CLA) inside Wolfhunter JiuJitsu Club to develop skill.
Rather than teaching step-by-step moves, we design small-sided games that force athletes to solve problems in live, resisting environments. This particular game introduces the benefits of scrambles by guiding students toward the octopus guard, a position built around height and winning the race for top position.
The goal isn’t perfection, it’s adaptability.
By manipulating constraints like space, grips, and objectives, athletes naturally discover:
How to build height from seated or grounded positions
How to engage hips-over-hips in transitional scrambles
How the octopus guard emerges organically as a solution, not a rule
How to stay offensive while opponents are off-balanced or reacting
This approach creates better decision-makers, not just better imitators. Scrambles become opportunities instead of chaos.

If you’re interested in ecological training, game-based learning, or developing athletes who can think, adapt, and apply pressure under stress, this is for you.

Train with intention.
Solve real problems.
Hunt growth.
