An ecosystem is defined as a community of living and non-living things working together. If one thing in the ecosystem fails, everything will systematically fail also. In the gym everyone needs to work together to reach a common goal. There cannot be too many carnivores and their cannot be too many grazers. It's all about homeostasis. A balance is created through consistency, variety, and efficiency.
Consistency in training to keep the school running.
Variety in training partners and instructors.
Efficiency in the training received to produce skillful students.
In an ideal BJJ ecosystem, there would be one high belt for every white belt. Everyone who signed up would train frequently. 5-6 different black belts teaching weekly. A structured curriculum would be taught. Drilling and hard work outs would not be an option. Ahhh, if only things were perfect.
Think about it.
