  1. martial arts training is hard as hell. id rather shoot someone than to fight them, cold hard truth. when im in a street fight i feel my life is at risk especially if i get knocked unconscious

  2. Coach Zahabi did you have fight experience. If so were are the videos I will love to see them

  3. I just want to say something…concerning cro cop–I think it' very unfair people always use him when talking about steroids in relations with his time in PRIDE like he's the only fighter in history who has used it. Yet he's never been caught with steroids and all his tests came back clean. ALL! I leave a possibility that he's used it, just like I believe that 99% of the fighters in the UFC still do, but his demise and/or gonzaga fight(because thats where it started) has very little to do with steroids and more with the fact that the competition grew stronger and the sport evolved. That plus the fact that he underestimated the cage and the rluse (elbows) at the time. Same goes with fedor. Had fedor been in the ufc, he would have had the same fate . Had cro cop stayed outside the ufc and had he fought all the cans fedor fought (rogers, ishi, sylvia etc) he would have a pretty amazing status right now. So, it's not always ab out steorids. PLus, the giuy has never had a quality foreign ccamp outside Croatia. Imagine if he had moved to jackson winklejohn

  4. Sprints worked to improve my cardio. I would do up hill sprints (roughly 50 yards). On top of that I would take a 75 lb heavy bag and toss it around (standing and on the ground) for 2-3 minutes doing multiple rounds.

  5. Holy shit! 3*BW!? That's a crazy squat to build towards if you're a combat athlete. I think 2 is reasonable, maintainable, and carries over well. After that I think returns diminish rapidly. 2.5 on deadlift. One time OHP. This depends greatly on bodyweight. Smaller guys can often hit higher levels.

  7. Wow… thank you Firas. I have been pretty fit throughout my life but efficiency is king, you are correct and your argument represents its own truth very well.

    Thanks again!

  8. #1 – find more leverage. so true. running and sprinting is good, but being efficient with the cardio you have is better. excellent video.

  9. use 3lb dumbells for shadow boxing on a regular basis to overcome shoulder fatigue

  10. hey coach thanks for all these videos they are really helpfull . i got a question though. Im a pro kick boxer now transitioning to mma.i got like 2 amateur fights won pretty easily but i got a really good bjj practitioner in my gym and i cant really use my striking well he just takes me down and gnpounds me all day im trying still my best learning but is there any way i can get him to think twice about trying to take me down ? i dont mean like take down defenses etc. i mean like should i use movement-footwork that can make him doubt he can take me down or smth like that? sorry for the long post i hope u can answer this
