Awesome working with you Shane!!! Hope you al enjoy the video!

HOLY SHIT! Firas Zahabi ?! bro your getting some seriously world class people on your channel these days (Bass Rutten included !) Congrats on all the success bro!

Firas is a fighting wizard.

This guy is a great teacher... damn!

Firas zahabi is a pool of knowledge. I would love to move to canada for a few years and learn from him

Firas is truly one of the best coaches in the world. Incredible.

I really liked the last question! Great answers. Bring him on again if it's reasonable!

Wow Shane you lucky man. You really should train at Tristar. Great opportunity.

The knowledge you two possess is just mind blowing.I hope you keep on posting vids like this.👍

I know this is 3 years late, but I’d love to see you train with Firas.

That is dope you got Firas in a video

Such an amazing opportunity to train with Firas, love the tristar crew.

Best thing for "freezing up" for me was isolation sparring with limited power - I froze up too my first few sparring sessions, but then we were instructed to do bodywork with only light jabs to the head, than we added crosses, hooks and so on... it really helped, felt like each transition was smooth and I always had fun. once you've done bodywork and know it's not a big deal, having to defend against a jab here and there is rather fun an you have room for fuck ups and experimentation.

Hey Shane, i want to thank you on behalf of the fight community for all these videos you put out. You have definitely helped me out in past tournaments with mental prep, technique, etc. to help me earn some new gold medals to hang on the wall. Keep up the great work and happy new year brotha!

The quality of this video is on point. Keep it up.

I effin love Coach Firas. Such a cerebral, intelligent guy. Would love to train with him for a month or so.

Zehabi- you wanna wrestle on wet grass in the park, shane? Shane- yeah, i'll get my white pants

firas is a god damn magician one of if not the best mma coach on the planet, when guys like GSP come from your gym, you know hes next level

Amazing coach! Firas is the man, a true mma legend!!

Conrats, Shane. What an honor to have Coach Zahabi on your show. And what a chill, genuine guy. I'm a big fan of his team and his KZfaq channel, and I'm not surprised. Love this variation on the sprawl, and his laughing at the spar/freeze dilemma was the best defuser I can imagine. Who hasn't been terrified or exhausted or frozen with thinking in sparring? Laughing and going again is the best advice. Great start to the new year. Thanks!

The quality of this video is unbelievable!

Shin kicking technique bit was well educational. Hadn't thought about anatomy, which I do know and of course the lower part is weaker. Great video and great reference video for animation so thanks

Firas is the man! much respect. Do it Shane, opportunity of a lifetime.

Holy fuck, you're getting some pretty big people on your channel! I remember the old days! Good to see you climbing up man.

The legendary firas... Man this dude is a world class teacher and gives content for free

Nice to see Shane with some of the real Guru's of the sport I've always been curious if Shane was near that level or just kind of meant for the everyday average person who might need one of these videos if they ended up in a situation like this.

You should definitely make more videos with Firas Zahabi he seems to have a really high fighting IQ that pivot manoeuvre he showed in the beginning was something so simple but effective, we can definitely learn from the guy and so can you.

These guys are both such great teachers.

please do it !! Best gym and coach in the world as if today

Firas Zahabi just recruited you bro so damn cool

Fight tips is the SHIT, I see you Shane moving up my man nothing but love for you bro and all others here !!

Do it Shane! DO IT!!

jo shane ive achived things because of you and i really want to thank you for that you are my hero

Firas is the best youtube instructor there is. I'm loving the crossover interviews Shane. Great idea.

Massive props and thanks to you for this video! Up until now, I've only ever watched Firas in the background of UFC/GSP specials (leading up to each of his fights) and never fully comprehended/appreciated his personal level of knowledge and training. After watching this, I see he really seems to know his stuff. Both of you are class A acts and great guys! Thank you for sharing!

Serious question: how did you keep such a straight face and remain so calm? I feel like If I had such an opportunity to train with someone incredible such as shane, firas, etc, I would be giggling and smiling and jittery--too much so to record a video. I would laugh after everything he showed because it's so AWESOME.

I watch all you videos but this answered sooo many things I've been coming across In my training about forgetting things when it's needed most and because I learn kickboxing defending takedowns is something we never come across but for real world situations I've been thinking about how to deal with take downs a lot and this has been great info for me thank you!

first bas now firas? who's next? greg jackson? keep it up man!

Hi Shane i recently started watching in the last couple months and on the last day of school a bully came and started hitting me and i used your self-defense tips and i actually knocked the kid out for a couple of minutes. So thank u Shane u helped me a lot with my confidence

These two should definitely train together and the fusion of Shane's knowledge and Firas' experience would benefit everyone. Great video.

I'd love to see that vid. What an experience for you Shane. For us as well. I love coaching. This show will have it all. Everyone wins. Win or lose your tourney. Awesomeness!!!

3:48... wow amazing. The whole video is full of great knowledge but that has to be my favorite lectures ive heard in awhile.

Great video Shane! keep bringing in new people like Bas and Firaz. That's great! And yes, go to Tristar. It's a great gym, and it would be interesting to see you train there.

Great insight. Two dudes jus compliment each other nicely, no egos. Quality info. Common sense (repetition, hours, hard on soft, deliberate practice) but very well articulated. Cheers!

firas Is an awesome teacher. this was a great video. it shouldn't have any dislikes

dude you gotta be doing jiujitsu bro, ive been watching ever since that video you put up '1 tip to win any street fight ( the mouthguard) ' and when you spoke about your school friend who passed.. jiujitsu is the best martial art ive found and as someone who has followed you and supported you for so longnit would mean so much to me to see you join me on this amazing journey, id love to see if I beat you to the black belt haha..been a while since ive last commented so just in case youre actually reading this.. youve done so well man.. go back to thay video and just look at how far youve come.. keep up the amazing work and please please please try jiujitsu, salam alekum brother stay well

I think this is the most useful video I have seen yet thank you

Are you gonna do the Tristar training camp? I wanne seeeeeeeeee it! Also Firas' channel deserves to grow. Give him a hand.

Great video and excellent advice as always from coach Zahabi. Shane you should absolutely spend some time at the Tristar gym, it would be nothing but beneficial for you. Great work you guys. Oss!

Nice Shane!! Firas is the man! Great vid man

Awesome job on editing all these questions together, can't wait for part 2

This is a really good and helpful video Shane thumbs up 👍🏻

That take down defense. I needed it.

Yes! I'd love to see you train at Tristar - an unbelievable opportunity for you and your fans.

Love your videos. The only thing I'd ask is to have the camera pan out a bit more so we can better see the movements. Thanks & keep up the awesome job!

Sensei Firas is the GOAT

I did one taekwondo tournament and froze up. It was a learning experience. I have debilitating anxiety and learned that fighting isn’t for me. I can’t handle the crowds everything that comes with the sport. These guys got my respect.

Like the vid, as some one who wrestled for a decade I'd say it's key you deliver a shot with your hip right on the opponent and use your hand to push the head down or use the bone in your forearm or wrist on the nose or throat. Head control on takedown defense is crucial. A sprawl should be your last option as it goes head hands then hips as lines of defense When you do master distance and composure you can time a shot circle away get both hands behind both his elbows while he's mid shot and then transition a hand to the other elbow while putting your other hand around the waist and spin behind. Train your wizzer religiously as it is the best defense on many shots and you can throw or inside trip on it Please anyone watch jordan Burroughs he's a master

Shane, i would LOVE to see a filmed series of your journey at tristar!.

This was awesome! He's what you would call a good coach! Awesome stuff! I think you would be great and with good coaching you'll be in the big time no time flat. You have the skills, the fan base, and now with good coaching I'll be putting some money on you!

Very good video,like always Shane.And about going training with Firas,please do it man it will be the best thing ever,if you make it like a series.I would love watching it. I wish you all the best Shane, and thank you for everything !

Shane.... always informative AND entertaining!!!!

Awesome video! Glad to see you guys are friends!!

That double leg takedown defence technique was madd

I agree bringing him again, he made me unterstand all in a very simple way!. Shane, could you please make another video about Kung Fu in street fight? (as you did with Ando Mierzwa). I'm really curious about knowing the basics and a couple of combos of this great martial art. I think it would be really interesting and awesome, as usual :). Keep it up!

lets go shane take this opportunity we'd love to see this

Going to check him out now! That was awesome!

Firas Zahabi is an awesome coach, love the guy.

Really great, detailed points. I always enjoy Shane's videos because they are always useful, thanks for doing this. And it's really cool to hear from a legendary coach, would like to see Shane in TriStar

Awesome video Shane.

Firas is a real deal master.

Superb fight tip: deflect with hip/judo anology. Thank you

Top grade instructor with a preschool cameraman. Tip: remove the lens cap.

Yes Shane! This is so awesome, you getting people in for QnAs it's so cool! love to see you grow and grow man keep it up!

8 minutes is not enough time when in the presence of a master like Firas. Are any more with him coming?

Shane! You do a great work! Im a Muay Thai instructor and a BJJ practioner, someday I would like to go training with you! You are really good! Keep up the Good Work!

Great vid man! Can't wait for part 2!

It looks really realistic! I love this thing !!! Please! Build more video, protection from the passage to the feet, as many different ways as possible!

Very cool! This guy is a GURU

AWESOME VIDEO BUD!!! HOPE YOU CAN MAKE THE TRIP TO TRI-STAR! BEST OF LUCK!

great video and tips!

I always get great information from fight tips.

This was one of your most useful videos, thank you very much.

This was a great and informative video! I'd now like to try an MMA gym to learn more! thanks for sharing and I look forward to part 2 as I think we all do!

Golden video!

I watch Firas channel all the time. I find it so helpful for my JJ training. Yes, I would be super interested to watch Shane go up to TriStar and train and then compete. :)

Dude, you should totally go do it! First, and foremost it would be an amazing chance to train with one of the best trainers in the world, and have a chance to test what you learn from him in a Jj match. Not to mention it would expand your own knowledge that you could pass to your students, and implement into your own training.

amazing colab! Congrats!

Awesome video guys as always! Great quality and awesome information! I would like to see more videos with you and Firas!

I would love to see you go train with Firas, he is a real good trainer and his jiu jitsu its in a whole other level.

You always have such useful information on your uploads. Thanks for this.

Great video guys, thanks a lot.

Awesome video Bro

Awesome vid, 100% informational.... shouldn't have any dislikes ... dmh..

Ah, the camera sounds are driving me crazy. Don't overdo it. The scene is interesting enough. We don't need borne identity style camera work :(

Great info.I appreciate your tips.
