Im a carlson gracie student. When we are learning new techniques we dont resist so that we dont build bad habbits and improper form. There is absolutely a time when we do some dialog training and talk out the position just not when learning a brand new technique. Imagine learning a new leg attack system and your partner is constantly giving you issues on just the entry.
20 years of training. I only picked up the Cross-Step from the ETS: Leglocks DVD. It did not emerge on it's own for me after thousands of training sessions. I'm an instructor in the EcD camp, but I like hearing all of the objections and counter-points to it.
My thoughts hopefully came through during the video - but, to reaffirm, I think ecological training is part of practice and not the whole. I study coaching and training in professional football / soccer, NFL and other elite sports. They all have coaches giving specific instructions. There are walk-throughs, which is basically low or no resistance drilling. Anyway, there's a far deeper discussion to be had on this, but I applaud your open-mindedness and I like to think that's something I have as well. - Ross
I've trained for 26 years. I've never trained anywhere that trained moves like a karate school with no resistance. I can't even believe that exists. To me a move is a general consensus of the best way to apply a submission or position etc. Knowing that way and then drilling getting to that outcome is best.
I think those who don't drill, or don't like to drill, use the strawman of saying it's basically like training with a grappling dummy. It could be that, but I don't think it is. - Ross

The 100% ecological approach is such crap. Not to be too negative there.
I think that viewpoint is a positive!
