Hey coach, why don't you start a weekly podcast to talk about not only fighting but life in general. I feel that a lot of us would benefit hugely from your insights. ( thumbs up so he sees this guys, please)

The concept of “pre-living” the catastrophe reminds me of when the rapper T.I. was facing a prison sentence about a year away. A media person asked ‘are you dreading the coming sentence’ and he said something along the lines of ‘No, I only want to do my time once.’

Yup, anxiety is the rehearsal in your mind of a possible future event

My dad once told me, “a coward dies a thousand times, a brave man dies only once!!

Another good approach is to be Stoic about it. Ask yourself, "What is in my immediate control, and what is not in my control?" Let me focus on what I can control." Still struggling with this. I remember adrenaline getting the best of me when I first competed as a white belt many years ago. Thanks for this vid

I'm a simple man, I see Tristar and Coach Zahabi and I click! Greetings from a Moroccan (EDIT)(Belgium) Belgian! Oss Don't mind my english, it's my 5th language.

I put my daughter in Muay Thai and no matter what happened that day. She was a different person after. All smiles and just in a great mood. I always say doctors should right a prescription for exerciser before medication!

I could watch these videos all day. Incredible advice. I’ll be purchasing “With Winning In Mind”. I already purchased, and read “Managing Oneself”. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

When talk is genuine and generous you can gain from it and honestly I'm learning from this brother.

Excellent advice. As Mark Twain wrote, “I’ve been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.” Don’t pre-live catastrophes. Don’t die in a million plane crashes.

Coach Zahabi! Amazing amazing wisdom from you. You are the combination of many great thinkers! Never stop giving wisdom.

this is absolute GOLD we need more

You don't even know how much hearing this just helped my life so much God bless you!

Thank you Coach Zahabi!!

This is pure gold, thank you so much!

Great words from coach firaz!!!!

Love & respect Ustadh Firas Zahabi . You are a gem Masha Allah ♥️

Excelente Pearls in this video, really helped me. Keet it up Coach! Greetings from Brasil!

Another thing that helped me with turbulance is a friend of mine who is a flight attendant told me once it was so bad that the food tray bounced up and hit the ceiling of the plane. Even then the plane was in no actual danger of crashing. That's actually the main reason for seat belts, the plane will sometimes bump so hard you can bang your head on the ceiling. But even then the plane won't crash.

You're very helpful. Grateful for your insight.

You are the best man, the advice you give and your way to talk is all so interesting. I like ufc as a viewer and fan, but i do 3d animation as a work and i just run these videos in the background when working to learn about life trough your shared experiences/ knowledge. Couldn't respect and admire you more even if i try to. Cheers.

Thanks for addressing. Huge problem nobody wants to discuss.

Already feeling better, thanks for sharing the experience with us Coach. OSU

You are very inspiring, thanks for your wisdom & kindness

There are books like Mindsight that provide a fantastic neuroscientific and psychological analysis on anxiety and fear; he speaks very closely to what you have to say. Lots of it involves mindfulness (getting out of your own movie), focusing on the present moment, and the body, and it speaks deeply on how our perfectly adaptive traits (flight, fight, freeze) and our ability to assign meaning to events/ordering things in one's mind, become hijacked by events/trauma loops. Really good book, I'll send you the url tonight at practice, coach!

Such an awesome material!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you coach Zahabi my Brother.

Thank you Coach! Cheers!

Muted the Pro Bowl to finish listening to Coach Zahabi discuss fear of flying & see a news break that Kobe Bryant had been killed in a helicopter crash. Bone chilling.

Great advice as always. Keep up the great content!

Great video brother, really loved the breakdown. Osho had something very similar when he says never sweat the pre stuff when the time comes then you commit to in totally 1000% learn to hold the nervous energy like a fire ball.

amazing insight coach. thank you!

Greetings from Finland coach🤘🏻❤

Another helpful video!

I'm about to take my magic pill now.

Great stuff! Thank you

Thanks Coach

Thanks coach..

Salam bro, love your channel you're the man!

Another nice vidéos plus i got my timtam fix

Thank you 😊😊😊

Thank you.

Thank you Firas

Just about to finish reading Peter Drucker's "Managing Oneself". Thanks for the recommendation sir!

Thanks coach Zahabi. Best wishes from Nepal

I always look ahead too far. Thanks for this video 🙏

Brilliant

this is a fascinating take coach. thank you. but how does one overcome the fear of life? we are not meant to live our everyday lives in an ultra hyper alert state. one can only take so much. how can someone unlearn what they have learned? its so complex yet its like simplicity itself refracted through a prism. once someone flips this switch in their head its basically an evolutionary survival mechanism within us but almost like a mutation. its like a cancer of the nervous system. a snowball effect where everything gets swallowed up slowly until nothing remains. just fear. fear of not mastering control. control of everything to the point of infinity. of course control is only an illusion. one can tell themselves that. they know absolutely that control is a mirage of ideology. but control can manifest itself as an extremely powerful addiction. appreciate your videos. you are a fountain of knowledge. looking forward to hearing more from you.

God bless you, Firas.

I've had multiple dreams of plane crashes and it's surprisingly peaceful.

Respect coach thank u

Great 👍🏼 advice...I wish you also had advice for claustrophobia on planes.

OoOoh nice tristar phone grip

Is it possible to upload also boxing episodes like Bjj? Like techniques or fight tips. Thanks for the Videos and greetings from Germany 💪

Thank you

Coach, I'm sorry but that fear of the pilot of a plane falling a sleep mid flight is too funny

The book called "Mind Gym" speaks on this what he said. Mental Highlight reels

Thank you! iam traveling to Rome this week for ibjjf comp and i am scared Of flying too haha

I need to find more things like that water bottle trick for other fears I encounter

its the SOAR program by Captain Bunn!!!!!!!!! i've used it!

Hey Firas, for guys with wide hips (hip bone or muscles from back/arse), that are surprisingly wide that it hinders mobility and in general doesn't look good, is there a way to thin the hip region, or reduce muscle in that particular region?(not talking about fat)

People who relax on a plane are unaware of the imminent danger, they are unconscious while the plane is about to dive, this is what I would think, they should be watching my movie

My anxiety stems from childhood and losing family members to cancer.

That simpsons reference was hilarious firas

Firas what are your thoughts on the UFC 223 conference call Tony seemed extremely anxious while Khabib very poised.

Firas is a legend

Hey firas I have a question, there’s an mma promotion by me that has both 105 and 115 pounds. I’m 5’6.5 and weigh 125 pounds. Do you think I’m to small for 115 or is 105 my ideal weight class?

what helped me with flights is watching air crash investigation

Coach Zahabi. In the previous part of Anxiety and fear you spoke of people experience a complete loss of energy instead of the more common F F F response. I am one of these people. It happened to me in situation where there was immediate aggression of other people towards me. And my reaction was no energy just lethargic. I just took kicks and punches and I would really like to hear someone else talk about this. I didn't know it was a thing, I thought this only happened to me. can you please talk about this situation?

Hey Coach, can you please go on Teddy Atlas' podcast. I could listen to both of you talk about life and fighting all day. Awesome. This info on here is also gonna help a lot with a book I am working on. Thanks again

Box breathing is extremely effective for some.

Asking why your mind doesn't obay is a self referential question. There is no solution to that problem. In programming, we call that "the halting problem". There are many different examples of this paradox. The halting problem generally is that you can't use a program to compute wether a program is going to halt or not. In this case, you can't use your brain to control your brain.

I got mostly over my fear of flying by doing lots of research into how planes worked. Damn I could have probably flown one myself after all the research lol! But at the end of the day for me it's about control of the situation, so I will never fully get over it. Most plane crashes happen due to a mistake made by someone along the way that wasn't the passenger. I hate stepping onto that plane knowing everything is out of my hands lol. Still won't stop me flying though fuck it!

One of the techniques you are talking about is called "decatastrophizing" in cognitive behaviour therapy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decatastrophizing

Thanks Firas, this was really helpful brother!

We want Khabib tony part 2

"bring the mind to the present" it boggles my mind to hear you say that and yet you aren't all about meditation and yoga. Seems to go hand in hand, no?

Thanks a lot, Mr.Zahabi!! Greeting from Russia and looking forward your book.

I can’t order Timtom to Saudi Arabia

👍👍👍👍

I always sleep in planes 😂😂 I've been in 4 flights and I was probably high as fuck in 3 of them

First time I got on a plane i thought I forgot my asthma nebuliser 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Then I got off the plane I remembered I didn’t have asthma or a nebuliser. Damn it 💩💩💩💩💩💩

how scared would Firas be if he saw a stewardess make a weird face after something happened? :D

My movie also involves a stewardess. Everything is bouncing. I'm on a private jet. Shes in high heels. Shes into me. She smells like a rose. She offers me a massage. All of a sudden bang, the engine explodes. I die a fiery spinning death.

Anxiety is FEAR and WORRY and nervousness. Fear that you will get your ass kicked. Its not so much pent up energy
