A shark is a fish, and a tuna is a fish. Therefore a tuna is the same as a shark.

A fish swims in water and has fins, and Orcas (Killer Whales) also swims in water and has fins, therefore an Orca is a fish.

Constraints-Led-Approach (CLA) uses positional sparring, situational sparring also uses positional sparring. Therefore CLA is the same as situational sparring. (Please don’t make me write a post about the differences between situational sparring and positional sparring)

Hopefully you see where I’m getting at. This is called “Fallacy of the undistributed middle”. I’m not denying that there is an overlap, but if you read Part 1 then you should understand how I distinguish the differences between CLA, Ecological Approach and Ecological Dynamics and why defining them are important.

I originally planned to accompany this post with a video. The logistics of getting the video done the way I wanted is complicated so that may come in a future part. For this post, I will limit the scope to differentiating CLA from Situational Sparring.
