Being Eco Adjacent: The Next Evolution?
Show notes
Professor Jay Pages returns to Forever White Belt to talk about how his coaching has evolved, including how he has integrated ecological dynamics and the constraints-led approach into his teaching without feeling the need to go all-in on any single methodology.
We get into what "eco adjacent" actually looks like on the mats, how Jay designs training games, develops better problem solvers, and continues refining the way he teaches.
We also talk business. Jay shares his perspective on marketing martial arts academies, organic growth, building genuine connections, and why staying curious and open-minded matters just as much in running a gym as it does in coaching.

A great conversation about evolving your ideas without throwing away everything that came before.
