Listening to coach Firas reminds me of the feeling you have when you are tired and almost giving up and you hear a voice telling you "it's possible, don't give up, you're gonna make it". So for all that thank you.
Tim v1.0 I do train in BJJ but sadly have never trained with any top MMA coaches. His results speak for them self though. George St Pierre possibly the greatest fighter of all time. One of his students. Also Rory Macdonald who is in my opinion the best welterweight in the world is also one of his students. Just by watching his videos you can get a very small window but a window nonetheless of how he operates. He is most certainly is one of the top level MMA coaches and in my personal opinion is the best
SRNF Tim Tam is too loud like construction job. and I don’t find it to be that great and a piece broke on me I loved it when I first got it after listening to the stories that’s the worst thing I could say about coach and it’s not his product LOL I have softer Coach wow What a guy what a talent for Tim Tam haven’t used in a long time since in the corner so I want to buy it
I would love to see them scrap 170 and create divisions at 165 and 175. That way there would be a division every ten pounds from 125 to 185. They could let Tyron choose which division he wanted to move to, give him the best challenger, and then make a make (or a four-man tournamnet) for the other belt. For example, they could make Woodley vs. Gastelum for the 175 pound title, and something like Kevin Lee vs. RDA for the 165 pound title.
As a fan of gsp it came like a total surprise to hear he was diagnose with ulcerative colitis.Ive have had UC since 2002 just like george I put extra effort to gain weight .Im under medication ,6 pills a day to control the symtoms ,besides surgery and diet , any remedies to heal it ? Because i know george goes out his way to find the best specilist in their respective field . Thanks
Hey Firas, I'm trying to gain more flexibility mainly for kicks but also for bjj. I remember you talking about dynamic stretching rather than static stretching. Do I need to be doing both to gain flexibility or can it be one or the other ? Just wanted to get a bit of clarity on the topic. Thanks !
honest lee he gave some analogy how static strength like bench press, squat, deadlift alone is ineffective because your muscles move weight like a tow truck (linear and stiff) but I believe he said there’s are benefits to static stronghold like increasing bone density. So both of you could find a balance. there’s room to for both plyo and static .
Coach, do you have any advice on really bad tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome? I have 10-15 minutes to workout and when the pain starts, it's debilitating. Listening to you is inspirational and makes me want to do stuff.
Petar Atanasov thanks for the comment I wish I could help but I just don’t know much about the subject. Please check Dr. Kelly Starret for any possible solution. All the best
Petar Atanasov hey bro check out book called Pain Free by Pete Egoscue. I had really bad hand pain etc, fixed completely with stretching posture alignment stuff. I use his stuff regularly when I get banged up from BJJ
Excuse my name Coach Zahabi, what is a good place to start MMA in NYC? There are so many gyms but I have no idea where to start, I'd really like to become a life long practitioner, unfortunately no idea where to start.
Here is a question. How can a ranked ufc fighter be proud of stopping a few takedowns in a fight? Other than that, he got demolished by Khabib. Al barely stopped Khabib's takedowns (and in the third and fourth round, Khabib was not really committed to do his chain wrestling) only about twice or three times while Khabib took him down 8 times including the last takedown in the final round and Al was down till the fight was over. Are people that crazy to say Khabib has been exposed? Seriously?? Only thing Al did was stopping a few takedowns in the third and fourth round. And then, he got taken down again and was hopeless once again till the bell saved him in the final round. He got dominated both on feet and ground regardless of how pretty his boxing posture was. MMA is not a boxing period. Al is underestimated and his future as a fighter is bright. He is not just on the same level with Khabib at the moment. Joe Rogan? Who once said Ronda Rousey would beat all of UFC male 135ers? Get da f out of here! Khabib never fk lost a round in his pro career or at least he never fk was in a big trouble. His face was as pretty as it was before this fight. And he is like that in his last 26 fights period. Joe Rogan should fight if he think he knows better than world class coaches like Javier and Faris. Both said Khabib's boxing was incredible. Floy mayweather chin up Machida in prime chin up Even Conor chin up Obviously, he can point some flaws in some fighters, but the way he was criticising Khabib was disgusting. We all knew Khabib's striking is not like Conor's. But at the end of the day, Khabib never lost a fight while Conor lost at least 2 fights in his career, got finished. Like Chael said, this is the sport "I hit you, I don't let you hit me" that's it. Khabib barely got touched by Al who is one of the best KO artists in lightweight. Boxing posture doesn't mean shit in MMA. Amateurish? what? then What Al's striking should be considered? Beginnerish? Disgusting and Joe Rogan is clearly biased. Tony's awkward style is creative while Kahbib is amatuerish? Joe Rogan must have a colored belt from 10th planet! Joe Rogan should get fired for things he has said. I mean we normal folks would get fired, if we made such big mistakes at work, right? Joe Rogan really need to grow up and learn how to use his words more carefully because he has a position that can influences a lot of people in MMA whether its his intention or not. He has apologised for his stupid commentary but was it really an apology? It sounds like another lame excuse in my eyes. Al is a great ko fighter with great wrestling. Khabib was outstriking and outgrappling him. So wtf is Joe Rogan talking about? Amatuerish? Are you fk serious?? You casuals and Joe Rogan followers should really need to assess yourselves better.

Listening to coach Firas reminds me of the feeling you have when you are tired and almost giving up and you hear a voice telling you "it's possible, don't give up, you're gonna make it". So for all that thank you.
Firas is easily the best MMA coach in the world. He brings such a measured and cerebral approach to training his fighters.
How on earth would you know that? Which of the most notable coaches have you trained with?
Tim v1.0 I do train in BJJ but sadly have never trained with any top MMA coaches. His results speak for them self though. George St Pierre possibly the greatest fighter of all time. One of his students. Also Rory Macdonald who is in my opinion the best welterweight in the world is also one of his students.

He is most certainly is one of the top level MMA coaches and in my personal opinion is the best
Love these, Firas. Keep up the great work. Much love.
When will your next Q&A be!? I'm a great fan of all your videos on nutrition/fitness, etc!
how does one develop killer instinct in mma?
Hah, I did my trial week at tristar and injured a rib on the last day! ill be back after april.
Thierry St-Pierre-Langlois you had a trial week? How did you score that?
Maaaan.. where was the heads up?!
Thx coach
If you don't use Tim Tam you are missing out. I use it everywhere.

Great show

Because your dumb
Do you have any advice on partially torn acl and pcl
How I can pass to my son the passion to train jiu-jitsu. He also train but some time he is desmotivated and talk about quit.
Luis Margalho I suggest you both agree on a minimum amount of BJJ. The rest of BJJ training should be voluntary.
What do you think of joe Rogan comments on Khabib saying he wasn’t impressive, also how do u think Askren & gsp would play out
How far do you think you could go Firas if you competed in mma? Specifically in the UFC
