I like how this guy is normal and not flashy. You know he has the dough to be rolling around in a Bentley but instead hops into his Chrysler mini van and heads to his gym. The world needs more of these kind of humble people.
ulfderulfte he has easily one of the best gyms in the world and trained many world champions at multiple disciplines And arguably the pound for pound best ufc champion to ever step foot in the ring. Not to mention he has his own companies as well. Firas is a mad genius and as humble as they come.
Came here after listening to him in JoeRogan podcast.. im not a big MMA follower.. but this man inspires me with the way he thinks. his discussion about science with Joe opened my mind.
He's not just an mma trainer, he's also deep into philosophy. I randomly watched an awesome 2+ hour video of him philosophically discussing religion then TH-cam recommends me this video. He really is inspiring.
fun fact: used to go to a school called st-martin in 2018-2019, and firas zahabis wife (Melissa Gendron) was my French teacher, one day in class she spoke to us about how her husband is the head coach for GSP. Ever since then I started watching the UFC and fell in love with it. Thanks to her lol.
A mma yoda would first of all have to be in a mma ring atleast 30 times and then start training people for years years later in his 50s and 60s he would become the mma yoda
Considering what they (UFC) have done merely for $ PPV $ (ahem Brock Lesnar) I would actually pay for this in a PPV. Both guys train MMA (Edmund has fought - Firaz was Canadian muay thai of kickboxing champ (cant remember exactly) but damn would be entertaing - even though edmund prob outweighs Firaz by min 30lbs
13:05 Hahah i nealry wet my self laughing when the trainer lost it and started beating up the students , then calls the next guy lady boy hahaha thats classic
It's incredible to see some heavy insight into the daily routine of one of the greatest coaches in MMA. This is a very smart piece of work, thank you Fight Network.
Such a genuine authentic and wonderful human being, you almost want to be friends with this guy just by watching him and listening to the way he sees the world and his philosophical mind. Pure gold.
You've trained with one of my fighter his name is Alex cazares I used to coach him when he was just in high school he trained with GSP for six months that's what he told me when I saw him in Miami thank you and God bless you 🙏 OSS!! The last time I talked to him he talked great things about you and GSP so thank you
I’ve been learning Sanda for the last year and a half, been watching a load of your stuff, I’m a stay home dad with our little girl, this is by far the most inspiring for me, good man!
@WIKIPEDIA you are totally wrong, Firas is a divide muslim you can check that on youtube, but that shouldn't be a matter at the first place, he is a great coach and human being and that's it.
@@Mysteriostyle we can hear music lol but most black (usually lyrics about worshipping satan) and death metal (glorifying gore) are Haram/prohibited for us :D
Firas, if you're reading this by any chance i want you to know that i wanna move to wherever you are and give my self to your teachings. I wanna become a professional fighter and i want you to be my mentor. In sha allah whatever it may take from me im down for it. A guy with nothing to lose is a guy who'd go the mile after the extra mile. May Allah bless your soul and reward you immensely.
the game plan he did for Rory vs Lawler 2 was possibly the most creative and perfect game plan I've ever seen, coming from the first fight where Lawler muffled the jab and shut Rory down. He probably will never get credit for stuff like that, how subtle and brilliant that game plan was with the stepping in elbows and snap kicks
The story about the emperor child was great. Firas is a wise man. I recently came up with a theory that being a human means striving towards both being comfortable and seeking resistance. We want a safe home, with a warm bed, food in our fridge, maybe a nice computer with internet and games. But then we grow bored, depressed. Like we're missing a purpose. So we need to do scary things, things that challenge us, and things that are hard and take a long time to master. We also need friendships and stable family relations, otherwise we seek towards drugs and addictive behaviors. Be uncomfortable so you can be happy.
Man....I've never trained at Tristar, but it looks like Firas has created one of the greatest training centers in the world, what a great atmosphere and you would get to train with some amazing people including the GOAT GSP! Firas seems to cultivate wisdom, and I think that is the most underrated aspect of coaching excellence, it sets people up to be better at life and to apply everything they are learning through their training to be better people.
People may not know that Firas is actually one of the richest trainers in all of Sports. But he chose to be modest instead of flashy. And chose to be rich in mind & personality.
4:41 Maşaallah! Look at this little sweet angle! May Allah bless her and your whole family brother Firas! Btw, my older brother's name is Firas! He is an intellectual and very strong man just like you! God bless him and you!
If you want to know how a person like Firas exist, go see his parents. He didn't just hatch out of an egg to become such a nice and cultured man. We should pay more attention to Family and that requires sacrifices in many ways. That's what his parents have done to make such a human.
Thank you so much Fight Network!! Loving these series! Awesome videography and it's really awesome for us fans getting to see this other look at Firas and his team.
8:04 - the other son raises his hand for a high five and Firas doesn't notice. Good to know coach Zahabi makes good use of the most damaging attack in martial arts: the dreaded left-hanging high five.
I like how this guy is normal and not flashy. You know he has the dough to be rolling around in a Bentley but instead hops into his Chrysler mini van and heads to his gym. The world needs more of these kind of humble people.
does he tho?
....
ulfderulfte he owns one of the best mma gyms in the world.... yes he does

Check out the podcast he’s just done with iERA in the last week or so. It really is full of amazing gems: th-cam.com/video/gJzhge5JiFI/w-d-xo.html
He’s Muslim
@@Monothiest247 and what is the wrong what that
ABDALMOHIMAN TOUYR absolutely nothing. Just pointing it out. it’s a blessing brother
@@Monothiest247 he’s not a practicing Muslim he’s pretty agnostic
Pound for pound most adorable family in MMA.
Blessed and Mini Blessed are definitely up there 😂
He's awesome ( judging from the video ) but just like John Danaher being Yoda, I think Michael Bisping might take this crown.
Martin Lo agreed, the Bispings are adorable lol

Follow.his podcast!
@@denzel7822 me too he's been one of the biggest inspirations in my life definitely check out his podcast
He doesn't know shte about philosophy just makes stuff up for laymen

thats hilarious hahahaha
This man is an absolute mastermind! A true wizard of mma, would love to see him at the jre

Man, I'm seeing a super fight in the makings. Firas vs. Rambo. UFC 213.
WME is already on it.
D_Veee I want shares in the company for my original comment. With out me they have nuttin
Firaz vs Edmund (no weight classes needed)
GianniVHL I actually would love to see that. Edmond is a world-class striker according to Firas.
Considering what they (UFC) have done merely for $ PPV $ (ahem Brock Lesnar) I would actually pay for this in a PPV. Both guys train MMA (Edmund has fought - Firaz was Canadian muay thai of kickboxing champ (cant remember exactly) but damn would be entertaing - even though edmund prob outweighs Firaz by min 30lbs
For a man who's reached incredible heights in MMA, he's a very humble guy. It's refreshing to see this aspect of the sport.
this video put a huge smile on my face
Tremendous respect for Firas Zahabi, this is proof he is an incredible leader and someone to look up to in MMA
He seems great with kids. Really cares for them. Everyone deserves a father like him. Wish my dad was like that.
This shit literally melts my heart such a beautiful family
I feel glad for Firas. He's got a family, a successful career, respect of his peers. That's a great life to have.
You missed the most important thing. He submits himself to the One true God. :)
You can tell he’s a great dad, mad respect.
Man... I love Firas. What a good dude
13:05 Hahah i nealry wet my self laughing when the trainer lost it and started beating up the students , then calls the next guy lady boy hahaha thats classic
Husband and Dad goals! I love how humble this guy is, loved him on JRE!
Amazing storytelling in this video. I've never seen Tristar and Firas so in depth and this is better than UFC Embedded
what he said about choice without too much choice is 100% correct.

My favourite episode of an already great series. Firas is a true mastermind of combat sports. Keep up the good work!
Yes this whole series has been awesome but this episode is just too good
Only found out about this amazing man from the JRE podcast, so glad I did. May Tristar live long and prosper.

This is an incredible episode. The best music has to be in this Tristar Stories Series and Retrospective shows just simply amazing!
I met firas in rio for ufc 212 .very humble and nice person!!!
Who the fuck can give this video a thumbs down? Just a good family dude who works his ass off. Hate is real.
I’ve been learning Sanda for the last year and a half, been watching a load of your stuff, I’m a stay home dad with our little girl, this is by far the most inspiring for me, good man!
what a great lively environment this is to train in! really touched me..good work brother Firas
brilliant video mashalla :)
that coach in the end had me in stitches too funny

@WIKIPEDIA As a Muslim you are not allowed to listen to music? What da fuck

@@Mysteriostyle we can hear music lol

Firas, actually taught me a lot 😇 i am humbled and educated... Hail the great coach 😇
It was at the end of this video that I found out I had been smiling all the way through. Such wholesome production.
Firas Zahabi is the best guy in the world. I respect him so much. Great human being. Respect.
This is one of my favorite videos in TH-cam
Firas, if you're reading this by any chance i want you to know that i wanna move to wherever you are and give my self to your teachings.

A guy with nothing to lose is a guy who'd go the mile after the extra mile. May Allah bless your soul and reward you immensely.
This is awesome. Super intelligent and one wholesome family dude
I have watch this video so many times, I keep coming back because of the lessons he teaches you about how to raise a child
Omg, the emperor child example! It’s so true! Thank you Firas

Nothing but praise for the guy, it is beutiful to watch him and his kids
What's nice family MashAllah. His daughter made me smile.
you know you are a great coach when the mma GOAT makes a casual appearance in your video
I really enjoyed that !
I enjoyed this very much especially the theoretical approach that Zahabi applies. It's good to see the intelligent and critical side of martial arts.
Thank you so much Fight Network!! Loving these series! Awesome videography and it's really awesome for us fans getting to see this other look at Firas and his team.
I have a ton of respect for Zahabi. Best coach in the world imo.
This was beautifully put together. Great storytelling
I loved this video, I mean really loved it! Congratulations Fight Network on some amazing work and stepping up big time.
Them children have the best foundation for a great future 👍🏼
everytime i listen to this guy .. my mind is blown..
from now on my son will have the choice between little training and a lot of training :)
What a beautiful family. Extremely inspirational!
thanks for the video! Coach Firas is the best, respect him as a man and father first and then as a coach!
Awesome dude. Awesome father, trainer and husband.
I love Firas! Man what a great intelligent human being!
Honestly from the bottom of my heart when he was interacting with his daughter i felt as if i needed to have one myself i feel it in me.
Such a good guy man been following him since 2006. Beautiful family 2. Bless
Good to see Mike Ricci still at it! hopefully he gets back in the UFC
Firas is such a great guy. I hope I get the opportunity to train with him some day.
I have so much respect for Firas.
I like how he communicates with his kids. MashAllah.
InshaAllah they become humble as their father and in the path of Faith.
I really respect and resonate with the way you think, Firas. Thank you for making this video brother
What a well done mini documentary... fascinating person and a good man.
This man did a lot of study of imam gahzali. one of the best philosophers in the world
while most parents will be scolding their boys for 'fighting' ... this guy is encouraging and training them. love it :)
Gsp is so humble teaching pro fighters like their beginners and giving them conplents
MashaAllah TabarakAllah beautiful kids.
May ALLAH SWT give you and your family the best of health and a long life Aameen.
firas is a genius, enough said. And if his kids keep this up they will be very special fighters
