Can beginners learn BJJ without drilling? (Ecological approach)

Drilling is the status quo in jiu jitsu, but is it possible to learn and even become good without actually drilling any techniques? I investigated a class at a gym that teaches beginners and experts alike with the Constraints-Led Approach, a coaching methodology that's growing in popularity based on the well-studied theory of ecological dynamics. Join me as we dive deep on what it actually means to drill, whether beginners need to learn "fundamental techniques", if this puts them at risk for creating bad habits, and what this approach actually looks like in practice.
