Tbh no

Yes. GSP is who made GSP so great 🐐

@@thevaden2024 yes but no one in the history of combat sports has been GREAT without a GREAT coach

Not in this form and shape,

@@jayceparkin959 You make out like GOATs walk into gyms everyday.....no guarantee GSP would have been great without Firas...yes GSP trained with jackson /wink and roach but he always came back to tristar thats his home.

I know, proud of him

​@@MMABJJChamps Proud that he won't train with women because he's a Muslim?

​@@LASLAY13Proud of him becuase hes staying true to his beliefs i guess

@@LASLAY13 what problem do you have with that?

@@markor8355 What problem with what? What is your exact.question?

100% True

I know, people move out of their city to come and train at Tristar!

If you're in the vicinity of Leuven (Belgium) BJJ focus camp is throwing together some camps this year in July and August.

europe lacks bjj for sure, but is top tier in striking. if you wanna work on kickboxing, boxing, etc. there are fantastic gyms in the uk, netherlands, belgium, etc.

Conor, khamzat and Francis all disagree with you

@@uzairhannure4886 We have the best judo too.

They were so smart as a duo!

Laughed at National Treasure. Ill tell him hahaha!

which Talent exactly?

Can't add to that. Amen

Soooooo true!!!

Stop by the gym;) have fun!

Indeed, really smart human being.

I know, when he starts, he never stops haha

Super cool analysis! Thank you

Come by his gym for sure. We'll train together :)

GSP is the pinacle of fighting but Jon Jones is better.

@@RandomGuy-yf4wf In what Regards? GSP was almost always the smaller fighter and was able to win, Jon Jones dominated in a weight class which only had shorter fighters than him at that time , he then came back and struggled.

@@lennyjenkins9931 GSP has greater technical prowess than Jon Jones, he has better technique and executes it better. But Jon Jones is more creative and dominating, the work he does with a huge arsenal of unorthodox ane orthodox techniques and his wrestling is outstanding. He shrugged of Daniel Cormier's takedowns and even took him down more than once. GSP for example has almost perfect jab and roundhouse, and his game plan would be to pick his opponent apart by utilizing those very effectively. Jones on the other hand, would throw 4 different kicks, fake a takedown and then throw a spinning elbow. Jones is not a master of technique, he is a master of using a variety of techniques, and mixing them up and using them very effectively. Another thing Jones does better is defense, using his long, reach impeccable fighting system and iq to stop opponents from exploiting his weaknesses. GSP got finished 2 times, because GSP has weaknesses as everyone else does, but he wasn't able to protect those weaknesses. Jones is more adaptable, creative and his resume is better. Youngest champ ever, won first seven fights in like 6 months, beaten cyril gane in 2 minutes, no true losses.

favorite line indeed

Heyyyy! You train with my man JADO! Been there a couple of times. Good friend with Jado and with Firas. Very good people. I guess you got promoted? Firas went there to promote :)

@@MMABJJChamps Yes I do!!! Nice I’m glad to hear! Unfortunately I still haven’t gotten promoted since I really just got into jiu this summer but man it was such an awesome class we had with him.

Exactly. Love it

There you go :)

Is it a hard subject indeed. 🤔

​@@MMABJJChamps nice pun.

It takes a bit of time for him to reach out to people, but once he does, great human being.

Thank you! Exactly what I am trying to say

Hahaha good one!

LOL. Been black for a while :)

But... its the GOAT

@@MMABJJChamps but it's just one and the goat is retired.

Man, Thank you so much! Only starting, more to come :)

Indeed, very smart man!

Cool comment TY!

good idea, let me look him up to see if I can pop a good video!

Who has he coached apart from TJ who went on top? Lol

@@mannyblackstar he was the striking coach at team alpha male, also he had the quickest KO in the UFC until jorge masvidal

@@9bit927 I know that. But who has he trained besides TAM. While TAM doesn't give him credit for training his men they say he was only there for TJ

​@@mannyblackstar mixed molly whoppery and jack slack have mentioned in multiple videos how the ko rates and strike rate per rounds of TAM members increased after Duane joined the team. This development was much lauded in mma circles and is part of the reason why Faber thinks Duane took the spotlight over shadowing other trainers.

Hope you liked his story though. It's not clickbait. Video talks about that also. But I hope to make you discover a great human being.

His mindset is very clear to him

Can you explain kruger-dunning effect?

Makes sense

Super well said. Thank you!

Thanks man! He is my inspiration! Such a gentlemen;)

I agree that he is due. Maybe his brother ?

Cool man! Hope we meet one day. I train there also

He probably has bad experiences :(

It’s religious reasons. Nothing to do with disrespecting women. In islam it’s strictly forbidden to touch, even unnecessarily look at other women.

@NIHLO just because something is "religious" doesn't mean it's not disrespectful. You can cover it in whatever ideology you want 🤷‍♀️ like I said I respect his wishes just not his reasoning. Also I don't really have personal respect for any religion either, so that's not really an appealing argument to me.

​@@dianarosewater5973 he said he is not a saint or angel or castrated , this he don't roll with women and urges others like him not to. That's called self reflection and control of the self. It's a solid advise for many people . He led a happy faithful marriage unlike many famous people.

So you like men?

@@McDojoLifeGermany nah but I can understand him thinking lustful thoughts while grappling with a girl. It's just natural and he has a reason and morals to his wife. I'm single so It wouldn't worry me but I can understand his point of view.

🤣🤣

I'm a woman. I also never grapple with men. Never.

​@@monstermind4286 if you couldn't do that without being lustful you got issues buddy

its just the gsp-narrative. zahabi is a great bjj coach but overrated as an actual mma coach imo

Yeah, Zahabi got kinda lucky for having such a talent as a fighter. And it's not like Zahabi is the sole trainer of GSP, he has trained with Freddy roach and John Danaher.

He brought a fighter to the top for many years. And kept him there. Considered to be the best of all times. That's worth something.

@@MMABJJChamps it's worth something but not the title of the best coach ever.

​@@MMABJJChamps gsp wouldve thrived anywhere. Show me one person who he brought from day 1 to champion.

So you're saying the athlete makes the coach?

Good point !

Thanks man. Really appreciated! Work hard :)

For sure its 1 reason!

Thanks man. Such a great comment.

Many people do!

There you go. Still a super cool gentleman!

Indeed. Reall well said !

There are a few. Will make videos on them. More to come

Lol good one. Thanks for sharing man

Being picky on the words lol. But I get it. Thanns

This is youtube. If click baity thumbnails bother you then you are in the wrong place.

💯

Really ? Thats the comment you have to make ? Thank you:)

I agree, but when you take a fighter and bring him to the top, for many years. You have to be in the best.

True, I agree

He has his beliefs;)

Your mindset is wrong

There is a difference between not being able to control your hormones and not wanting to have impure urges/thoughts. And if he is a traditionalist (religious or otherwise) then he probably believes that it the role of a man to protect his family and women should seek out men who can do that.

Well that is sad but it is not. Not even close. Lots of work behind this. Really sad you say this. Hope you still enjoyed.

He's right about many things :)

i know haha

Cooool! Help me promote it then :) hehe

Agreed

What is woke culture

It's not woke culture to respect women. This muslim attitude is medieval.

Nowadays I guess we need to respect everything

Never thought of it this way. So true

Indeed not too easy to achieve!

@@MMABJJChamps True, and that’s why it should just be avoided. I’ve taught self-defense for 45 years or so And one way to deal with the teaching issue is to have husband and wife teams demonstrate and practice.

Haha! 2 versions of this statements, but yes!

Well depends of your views! Everybody is different

100%

Check his video when he talks about it on the interview. Does make sense for him.

Very logical

It's his religious belief.. nothing else

It's not...

Finally a smart comment :)

nah just go to AKA. If he's really that great a coach then Aiemann Zahabi should've been champ or top 5 a year ago lol

Her must be expensive!! Even my coach is expensive and he's no where near as famous altho a pro middle weight

Usually its not imo

You really have to put your mind OFF haha

@@MMABJJChamps True

I don’t find it uncomfortable I’m pretty much too focused on rolling to think about anything else

​@@justinhavens9835 🧢

It goes beyound this I think

Right? This is weird on many levels. A teenage boy might have some problems, but a man is supposed to grow. This is just discrimination hiding as a virtue. If he can't control himself...

Thought he was Christian

Legend part I agree!

But even then it's not fair to suggest that he doesn't "train with woman" because he teCHES A world renowned BJJ class twice a day in which many woman attend

I know, but he doesn't roll with them. Thats what I am saying. We are playing with words here. Thank you for comment.

Very cool comment. You analyzed both ways and they are both true. Thanks

@@MMABJJChamps thanks for the comment man. And thanks again for your vids, it s always nice to watch 😊

Heyyy!!! That's very nice to hear. You see I do it partly to read stuff like this. Makes me smile.

I guess everyone has their opinion! thank you

Well said!

Thank you for your opinion.

Yes sir

Which wrong facts ? Please elaborate! Thank you.

But people don't know ;)

how was rory overated? dominated elite talent until he had the war with lawler

@azadog1233 like who. .500 lightweight nate diaz? Featherweight BJ? Journeyman pyle? Some guy named like jake cheeseberger or somethin? Who’s the alleged elite talent that rory beat & don't mention anybody that's fought at lightweight or below cause weight bully wins are not elite wins. Bj was already on his jobber losing streak at the time anyway so it’s not an impressive win even if BJ wasnt a blown up featherweight. BJ was a can by then

@@pstrizle9000 You only have to produce one greatest of all time to become a legend. Same thing could be said of John Danaher, but John is still a legend. You wouldn't call Gary Tonon or Pacito multi hit streaks either. What makes people legend is not solely based on the quantity, but the quality. Ever heard of quality before quantity?

@@pstrizle9000 yeah those guys. I would like to see you beat them 🤣

@@firedrive45 I'm fairly certain all John Danaher Death Squad wasn't a One man team. They were all extremely dominant on the Grappling scene.

Not him.

@@MMABJJChamps yeah i know he's a practicing Muslim I was talking about the video editor

Quality that counts!

?

Yes 3:00

?

Merci pour ton commentaire super!

But the GOAT!

@@MMABJJChamps, he'd be the GOAT with or without Firas.

He's actually saying both:)

Same thing ;)

No idea

Well.a bit controversial. Depends for who.

He has a strong position on things. But I respect him 100%

Opinions differ but thank you for comment!

I know he is. And who is a softy lol ?

Hahahaha. Got to love it!

Can you control your mind? All of the time. I can't. I'm like the driver of the kindergarten bus. I pretty much let my mind do its own thing until it does something I consider nasty or dangerous. Usually I can just yell over my shoulder "Settle down back there!". Sometimes I have to sub conciously pull over and redirect things. If I was face deep in the triangle choke of a fit healthy woman I'd probably have to pull over and give my mind a serious taking to.

you're lying to yourself if you think it does not apply to you

Not sure I get that :(

Your choice! Respect

I had my first training session with three women today and... The dynamics were different 😅not in a good way 🎉🎉I'm not sexist

@@rahuldahoob smh….it’s not a matter of being “sexist”…women don’t n can’t feel the muscle the way men do. Progressive simp are ya? Probably….smh
