How to Improve as fast a possible- Coach Zahabi - AMA 126

52:57 "The true science of martial arts means practicing them in such a way that they will be useful at any time, and to teach them in such a way that they will be useful in all things." - Miyamoto Musashi, 1643

Firas you are a saint for sharing years of wisdom in just two hours without asking anything in return. Thank you.

I don't even practice martial arts (...yet) but often tune into this channel. Always enjoy Firas' insights and it motivates me to improve in life.

Coach thank you so much for putting out so much knowledge for free universally, you’re the best and my favorite podcast I continue to watch religiously. So interesting and so much to learn from you god bless you and your family+stable of martial artists and students🙏🏽

I love these types of videos…don’t stop giving us ur experience ❤

Thank you coach sharing the experience that you wife had with arthritis, I ve been dealing with it myself for 5 years now.
I will check out the books, and if someone has any recommendation on that topic I will really apreciate.
Thus far the best thing I used for it was green clay

thanks firas. love your wisdom and calm insights.B HOP most disciplined boxer i know of. the man won the championship and afterwords allowed himself to have 1 single slice of small cheesecake from the local diner after as a reward. that story always stuck with me
he was probably in bed and back in the gym the next day

One of the best AMA Coach. One day I will come inshAllah from Germany to Tristar to train with you. BarakAllahu feek.

In-line speed skating since I was 6 gave me really good coordination/ balance. And taekwondo since 8 as well gave me a lot of managing distance and even mental toughness

Coach there are so many gems in this one. Thank you for your work over the years!

Hey Coach! Love your show and really appreciate your wisdom! Do you still upload your knowledge to podcasts? I'm still listening to your older episodes and have noticed the last one uploaded was with the carnivore MD. Would love to have you in my ears again.

Thank you from the bottem of my heart for all this knowledge.

19:05 improvements on ring muscle ups (from 4 to 7) from stability ball training

Both John Danaher and coach both trained with Renzo Gracie. That’s a big part of it that’s why they got so good at such a late age sure they had to Love themselves with all that hard, etc. etc..
If that’s not enough back in the day, there’s too many jujitsu teachers that wouldn’t really teach you from the heart. Renzo wasn’t one of them. He was the opposite of that probably I wish I bumped into him because I love Jiujitsu as much more than anybody but it’s not enough . Matter fact they want to hold you back even more and less you walk into a real gym and then it sets fire to your heart even more a gym with his other black belts in their gym with his one. Good guy after another A Jim, where they teach confidence and like Renzo says if my students are three times better than me I failed. No that’s in lightened being back in the day especially in LA no

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

The website looks much much cleaner, I like it.
Coach, I would love to see you do a series of conditioning for MMA.

There a lot of gems in this. People worry and fight about a lot of things, they will not care about even a week from now. I need to hammer this into my head to only care about things, that really matter.

Have been playing sports my whole life, practiced Karate from age 5 to age 9, did drum core from age 14-18 (marching is very very hard), and began grappling at age 16. I started formal mma training under a year ago and have progressed enough to be debuting amateur in June. I don't feel I'd be able to learn and move my body this way and wrestle how I do had I not done sports as a child. And I played a lot - there was only 1 year of my life where I wasn't in sports (age 13). Karate until age 9, swimming from age 8 to 11, team basketball from age 10 to 12, then again at 14, marching band from age 14 to 17, BJJ from age 16 onward, wrestling from age 19 onward, full mma from age 22 to now (almost 24).

Love the philosophy. If you are exploring quantum mechanics the best layman book I have read is "The Cosmic Code: Quantum Physics as the Language of Nature" by Heinz Pagels. The Amazon reviews are correct. Paul Davies is better overall because he wrote so many good pop-sci physics books but this stands out as the best single work.

In linguistics theory there is a period before puberty to acquire a language, after that you "learn" a language and will have an accent.
I think that extends to other skills as Firas says.
I think after that we learn more through cognitive analysis and repetition. That is we have to think about it.

Incredible podcast. Thanks coach, from Germany

I can listen to Coach all day no cap

Coach firas you help me out so much man one day I’m coming Tristar from England definitely to learn from the goat

Amazing information and insight as always! Thank you coach! 🙏🏻 And if I may suggest, please don’t swallow into the microphone. Us with the Misophonia are about to shoot the phone!

I’ve always kind of understood that to play around and shadowbox MMA makes my coordination even better than juju Jitsu
And I’m also learning something new
And I’m not getting injured or beating anything up that bad something about shadow boxing that’s amazing I’m learning Mike Tyson‘s way of peekaboo style boxing, which wakes you up in a way. I don’t know if I want to be woken up by debility to see through and capture things like this easily And Jon Jones MMA is another amazing. I don’t care if I don’t have his body tight. I enjoy doing it feels amazing like art and exercise all in one. I guess that’s what I like about martial arts

Bernard started at 17 and made his pro debut at 19 he wasn’t 27 when he started but I agree with everything you say

This is great information
Why can’t I get this podcast on iTunes or Spotify?

This is what i needed to hear. Feel like I've become stagnant lately with MT.

Coach, the control freak series has is amazing, has totally changed my ability to pin people

I don’t know if I necessarily agree with that. I’ve been doing athletics since I was young often on may be but but I’ve been doing it since I’ve been young at least a little bit not super crazy but not for sure, and I find myself to be a good teacher, I think a good teacher comes from having a good heart and just wanting to see people improve and understanding the power of teaching. I think some of these things have to do with it also maybe I’m nuts but I find the people that aren’t good. Teachers are usually selfish people straight up.

Hahah being a Palestinian arab the "bebsi" comment was hilarious 🤣🤣

I’m 44 minutes in and lost count of the amount of times I have gone to hit the like button after something Firas has said but then realise I already done it

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this is an all time greats AMA

coordination and proprioception MAJOR KEY

Being proficient at wrestling vs BJJ is harder especially if you're older

Listen I like and agree with you I’m not muslim or Arab but I’ll tell you right now my wife will never tell me what to do then again my wife grew up in a Muslim country I love the humble pie analogy so true

This was a great video!

İnshallah Fasting heals everything

I guess coach has a point. I started jiu Jitsu late, and I like to teach it. I guess I had to figure it out myself by watching videos, so I’ll kinds of things because where I was that hit the information target slogan, you didn’t have really good black belts coming over from Brazil and hanging out with us they purposely didn’t do any of that sad but it’s life life isn’t fair. That’s the way it is. But in my opinion, it’s one of the greatest sins and mothers it raises your kids your sons not to be independent the teacher Jiujitsu, the raises his students not to be independent. What’s the difference same type of thing. But I see code point that if you learn it just from Birth sort of speak, what did you learn it just kind of spilled Into you. But then again, I think certain people are selfish and care about teaching them

I can’t believe people actually ask how to get good fast. People want the magic pill. All it takes is hard work and consistency, plus a G mindset. Work hard every single day at your craft and believe no matter what you do your going to be the best in the world at it.

Amazing knowledge wow

Hey coach I recommend that you make a unique thumbnail for your Podcast Episodes, sometimes the picture from the thumbnail is unrelated so I assume its just an older video. I gladly offer my services by the way.

Coach, could you make a video about Bo Nickel and why do high level fighter such as Triple C say that he's one of the brightest stars in the making.

Diving Granby Roll is super easy if you're a bboy 😄

Coach any advice for a lean but non athletic 30 yo for his first bjj tournament thats a week out?

Thank you brother

1:45:00 diner is Sunnah brother as far as i understand (for example iftar is a dinner) we don't have either lunch or breakfast but we have dinner in Islam. My mother always says " my son eat evenings because prophet says if you don't eat it makes you old"
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
Hz. Enes (ra) anlatıyor: Resulullah (sav) buyurdular ki:

Keto and Int fasting heals my bro,. I was borderline diabetes..not anymore. Im 53 and on ZERO prescriptions. (xept for ganja) :)

Wow Danaher didn't start til he was 27?! That's crazy

Hey Coach, have you ever head of zone2 slow steady state training? Its what pro endurance athletes do most of the time, Im alil skeptical of your statement that such training kills testosterone

Can you show the movements you mean with diving granby roll and the combinations

The part about not cutting corners is interesting but limited. Doing the work is paramount, but cutting corners is great as well if you are smart about it. You know what kind of empire the Gracies created out of being absolute scumbags on top of being great fighters.

1:23 made me laugh. Talking about his glasses... He was going to say "I don't even know where the f*ck they are"(I think) 😂

22:00 the single best exercise
===> Sprinting
(Not too long like 5 k runs. Short 10-30 meters to build muscle and boost testosterone. Long runs are catabolic)

Coach isn't Prof Danaher, a materialist, I remember him mentioning it in the London Real interciew. What better debate partner for this topic

This guy is like the odablock of mma

1:39:54 I’ve been saying this about Sam Harris for years…
Sam Harris always has a smug look on his face because he thinks that the world is just a bunch of Legos and he’s got it all figured out. I wouldn’t be surprised if he grew up a sheltered life.

🔥🔥🔥

They nearly had firas with the nick row but his pronounciation saved his ass

Joe Rogan is wearing Tristar merch with your name on it on the last episode of his podcast with Russell Brand that dropped today. Just yesterday I asked in a Superchat when you would go talk with him again! Hopefully it’s a sign that it’s happening real soon in shaa Allah 😁

i have trouble granby rolling in general

2:20 tried to do him dirty and man just gave the nicest most wholesome response instead

The "Nick row" part slide an noticed

I don’t know if there is a problem I can’t find this video on the tristar gym channel only in my UAclips feed and suggestions and now I want to watch the post ufc 285 and that’s not on the channel either

🔥

How about a 59yr old blue belt ? Or just regular person at that age. But I get it. Coordination Coordination Coordination.

1:27:40 "PROOF" lesson haha this person must be Dutch

48:00 autoimmune

Is 10 too late for gymnastics?

Not true....wrestling is more difficult and taxing on rge body then bjj because of the stance and lowering your level instead of butt scuting.

54:18 boxing elite

I just so happen to bake a wonderful Humble Pie, y’all come get a slice 😈 (is what I would say if I was a good fighter)

Estimated date for fasting book coach?

in the first photo looks like you are running down hill coach 🤣🤣🤣

1:15:15

Love from India.

1:37:22

Sam Harris suffers from dogma, but have you heard about athletes suffering from ligma?

I have sciatica on the left site can you help me ?

Time stamps?

Yeah what if we didn’t train in youth though? How on earth is that first point helpful.

13:00 granny roll progressions

1:15:20

Shout out to Shelbys for the bebzi

Hes Arab or native American bro we love are Bepsi's too lmaoo

43:08 Mayweather has indeed had humble pie before - UAclips "mayweather vs paul spadafora sparring"

35:23

54:18

57:07

No time stamps 🙄

31:00

I've seen a lot of Arab simps tho.

2:26 Cancelled

I should learn krav maga

Skating has zero plyometric involvement, does this guy even understand physiology.

Not everyone in a gym is a pro
