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
If you playing with the idea, to do martial arts i would rather start today than tomorrow. Just find a gym in your area and go to the practice , i promise you will never regret that you wasnt w8 for another day/week/moth/year. You will never feel more welcome than in a martial arts gym.
How to improve FAST: 1. Start in your youth 2. Choose your parents (genetics) 3. Stability (Ball) / Coordination training - Total body movements 4. Find a good coach & be a good student 5. Avoid injuries like the plague 6. Consistency over Intensity Extra: Best exercise - SPRINTS (20-30m) - Sprints 20m + Shadow box - 1/2 a week Max
@Hamza-xf5wd start low like 4 sprints with about 1 and a half minute rest in between each sprint. Work your way up to about 10 sprints. Do this for about 4 weeks only twice a year. 8 weeks a year.
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
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
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.
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🙏🏽
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.
Brother I am an Israeli and a martial arts enthusiast like yourself, we need to stop the violence and rise above, only together we can overcome. Love from Tel Aviv!
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)
@@Hamza-xf5wd 6 at beginning 8-10 maximum 1 min rest in between (walking slow) If you need 2 mins at beginning it's ok work up to it. Max effort in every sprint is more important than duration of sprint or rest times etc. (So your body has to make adjustments to new stimulus thus produce more testosterone)
Bro go sub some good MT youtube channels. I did when I missed my gym during covid and improved a shitload by watching technique videos/ fight breakdowns. I recommend: - Evolve MMA - Dynamic Striking - Stuart Thomlinson - Superbon - Gabriel Varga - MMAShredded
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.
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 😁
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
@@viv-d7e it was edible food grade green clay. I used to take 1 tea spoon in water (not a metallic spoon, wood or plastic) before breakfast. I was waiting the clay to get to the bottom of the glass of water and only drinking the water but some people drink everything
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!
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
I disagree with you quite a bit on some political issues, but you have some of the best insights on many life issues and issues in training of anybody I’ve listened to on TH-cam.
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
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
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.
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.
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
To say that in MMA the chances of jiu-jitsu against SAMBO will be 50/50, you need to name as many champions as there are now champions from the SAMBO school. Jiu-jitsu in MMA died with the departure of Gracie. But, your forecast still has a few years to confirm - time will tell which is better.
I don’t know if there is a problem I can’t find this video on the tristar gym channel only in my TH-cam feed and suggestions and now I want to watch the post ufc 285 and that’s not on the channel either
I second this. I was shaking, sweating like crazy and almost vomitting up 15 minutes even after first wrestling training. And I do kickboxing for years, but lofting and throwing 85kg guys I almost shat myself.
Maybe I'll get a response of my previous comment. Asalammualaikum brother wa Rahmatulla Barakatuh. Professor need some advice or tips. Again I'm 58yr old blue belt. Insha Allah Maybe an black by 65yr old or older lol. Kettlebells yes , jogging not so much, maybe if ankle gets better. Torn tendon lateral of ankle. No surgery yet. I want to see what I can do instead. So kettlebells and fast walking ? Let me know.
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
Of course it doesnt,firas is a combat sports coach,not an educated sports scientist,he makes a lot of unsubstantiated claims which reflect an only partial understanding of exercise science.
Extended workouts tend to increase cortisol way more. Cortisol which is a stress hormon kills your testosterone production. If you need more "evidence" compare bodies of marathon runners and sprinters like Usain Bolt. Do whatever you want but my choice is definitely HIIT over LISS...
@@whoknows8223 ever thought that maybe Usain specialized in sprint because he's built as such as opposed to sprinting turning his physique into that of a muscular one? Don't get me wrong, I like my hiit. It's great for short term power. But it's widely recognised that in endurance sport, majority of the training should be in a low zone. Mind you, pro bike racers can put out pretty big sprint numbers too
I think he's talking more about sports/ performance than longevity. Also Firas is a big on quick workouts and sprinting gives you most bang for your buck for that time wise also. If a workout is fun for you, do it.
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.
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
Hey Coach, just my 0.2cents... you said the stability ball improved your muscle ups. I sincerely believe (and there is evidence) that you took time off to recover your whole body and then came back to do muscle ups and you had increased how many you could do. it was simply becuz you took time off. there is no way to get better at muscle ups then doing muscle ups...
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.

Firas you are a saint for sharing years of wisdom in just two hours without asking anything in return. Thank you.
The "Nick row" part slide an noticed
This sentence is either missing a word or two or just completely doesnt make any sense sir.
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.
If you playing with the idea, to do martial arts i would rather start today than tomorrow. Just find a gym in your area and go to the practice , i promise you will never regret that you wasnt w8 for another day/week/moth/year. You will never feel more welcome than in a martial arts gym.
I'm a professional gramby roller and watch because he is so good!
Totally. I'm a professional visual artist. And I like listening to guys like this more than art people. Eventually I started doing bjj.
Coach firas you help me out so much man one day I’m coming Tristar from England definitely to learn from the goat
The website looks much much cleaner, I like it.
Coach, I would love to see you do a series of conditioning for MMA.
Coach, the control freak series has is amazing, has totally changed my ability to pin people
One of the best AMA Coach. One day I will come inshAllah from Germany to Tristar to train with you. BarakAllahu feek.
How to improve FAST:
1. Start in your youth
2. Choose your parents (genetics)
3. Stability (Ball) / Coordination training
- Total body movements
4. Find a good coach & be a good student
5. Avoid injuries like the plague
6. Consistency over Intensity
Extra:
Best exercise - SPRINTS (20-30m)
- Sprints 20m + Shadow box
- 1/2 a week Max
17:10 - 18:10 mostly
How should we do sprints? How many times? How much rest between sets?
@Hamza-xf5wd start low like 4 sprints with about 1 and a half minute rest in between each sprint. Work your way up to about 10 sprints. Do this for about 4 weeks only twice a year. 8 weeks a year.
@@app369 why only twice a year? How will I maintain that cardio?
Thank you, was just kicking myself for not taking notes. You have saved me quite a bit of rewinding 👍
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
I can listen to Coach all day no cap
Love listening to you coach. Much love from Mallorca, Spain
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
coordination and proprioception MAJOR KEY
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.
I'm watching this video like reading Proverbs. I'll watch a few minutes then put it down then come back later and dig in some more. Great nugs, coach
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🙏🏽
19:05 improvements on ring muscle ups (from 4 to 7) from stability ball training

I love these types of videos…don’t stop giving us ur experience ❤
Thank you brother
This was a great video!

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

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.
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

Why can’t I get this podcast on iTunes or Spotify?
1:12:46 This means that Frank Abagnail Jr. has completed some of the most difficult feats of all times.
