BJJ Concepts (Roll Narration) - Coach Firas Zahabi

[@RamseyDewey]

Hey, I know your training partner! He trained at my gym in Shanghai when he was in China a while back. Super fun guy to roll with, and an outstanding ambassador of the Tristar gym. Great video as always!

[@WorkerBeesUnite]

Dude its u..huge fan. Love ur style

[@garagavia]

Hey, it's Ramsey Dewey there, from Shanghai China 👌

[@TheBriRu]

what belt color?

[@slamdunktiger]

Wow, what gym are you guys from in Shanghai?

[@tyy123]

Hey Ramsey Iam big fan of you keep up the good work

[@Dunwich93]

These are by far my favorite videos. I get so much more out of this style of teaching. Thank you.

[@polopolomay1]

Yo kill D#k#(CD

[@teflonron7024]

That back take at about 1:18 is slick as hell

[@gman3976]

Firas is just so slick in general. I learn 10x more watching his rolling footage than I do from a million "technique videos" using setups that would never work in real life.

[@Roll_Vids]

This is an excellent breakdown! Firas, you are the master of clearly illustrating the nuances of Jiu Jitsu. I am consistently blown away by your relaxed confidence as you roll as well. Keep these videos coming - They are gold!

[@ShinkaTV]

this is why KZbin needs a "love" button. great, great video. I would love more of these, especially when you are with larger partners, or get into trouble

[@SmileNDenile]

This guy is so fluid it’s like a raindrop leaving a cloud. The cloud is continuously changing shape while the rain drop maintains its destination to the ground. Unbelievable technique 🙏

[@rockerboyka94]

You're a genius. Just Realized that alot of these moves are from some of the best bjj practitioners in the world: ricardo delariva, gordon ryan. Says alot about firas constantly expanding his arsenal of bjj moves.

[@christiancaswell5401]

I like the way that you take a second to break down certain moves! I really enjoyed the format of the vid. Keep up the good work!

[@piotrdygas5345]

such a nice good looking roll, the kind you can safely learn something instead of getting injured. Always when i roll with mma guys i feel like i just almost get hurt

[@Alberturkey54]

This is by far the best way to learn. Very similar to chess coaching. Theory (drills) is useful but without understanding the underlying concepts it is easy to get lost when a position varies slightly. This teaches concepts.

[@jamesmclane8595]

Absolutely love this narration. Fantastic way to teach.

[@OsotoMakikomi]

So many things happened in this roll, very nice. There's so many things to cover but I hope this can be an upload you do from time to time. Thanks, Content King

[@origamianywhere7764]

I love these rolling breakdowns Firas, keep 'em coming!

[@kylegrayson4202]

Thank you for this Mr. Zahabi. These videos have been helping my game immensely.

[@woodlandman]

Coming from a small gym, this video is priceless. So much good information. Thanks Firas.

[@anglictinavojta1674]

Thanks for your commentary, very beneficial. Second stripe white here and seeing your effortless sweeps and transitions is a big eye opener.

[@ScientistSam1]

Firas, I notice that you do the D'arce a little different from how it is traditionally taught. Could you do a tutorial on it?

[@CoachZahabi]

good idea will do in the future!

[@mrniceshoes2118]

Scientist Sam great idea Yes Please coach!!

[@rturo22]

I also noticed seems like your finishing with the grip on the forearm rather than the I don't now what you call it the elbow pit lol

[@ScientistSam1]

rturo22 That's exactly what I noticed as well.

[@larsedvard565]

its a short darce gentlmen

[@kurtkrienke2956]

Master Firas your Jiu Jitsu is beautiful, I am making it a point to make it to your academy this year. Much respect from Germany and hopefully see you later this year!

[@CoachZahabi]

Kurt Krienke looking forward to it!!

[@artygunnar]

did you make it?

[@aeklant]

Beautiful! I would love to see more roll narrations in the future. Thanks a bunch Firas :)

[@seinundzeiten]

Very good narration tutorial...one of the best if not the best one I've seen - keep up the good work...

[@DownloadDeX]

I LOVE these man. I can watch these all day. I wish more guys would commentate their rolls.

[@tomfletcher1735]

Thanks Firas! very humbling

[@sorenkarna2619]

Love your breakdown coach, thank you for the knowledge 🙏

[@petarbjelogrlic4771]

Owesome couching, great sparring sessions, huge knowledge, I love it! Tnx

[@benjaminjarod1428]

the best always make it look easy and understandabele Thank you firas zahabi

[@wistelhastel]

Awesome video, learned a lot! You should definitely keep on doing these..

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

hey i know your partner! he's trained and competed with us at AMA Atos here in shanghai! what up, etienne! looking good, sir! these vids are very informative, thanks mr zahabi. love that "teleport" move. coincidentally the second time i've seen that today. will be trying it out as soon as. happy chinese new year. xin nian hao!

[@brettgainsford3208]

Fires your movement is so fluid, a real pleasure to watch

[@MrGunfunfun]

Love the roll narration, please do more!

[@vadimyakus]

The difference in size and power plays a huge role is rolls like this one. Huge!

[@tyy123]

Very educational coach Firas thank you

[@paulleclaire8252]

These narrated rolls are best. Thanks Firas

[@steveballard8114]

I love this so much Firas! Thanks a million. I love watching these types of videos right before I go to class. You have the best narrations, please do more!

[@nickbarber7948]

I love these roll narration. Would like to see you put out a video in the gi

[@richardlancelot3829]

This is amazing, coach. I love these, so much information and small great tips.

[@BennyWalnuts]

The Teleport!!! Sick...I always called it the magic stick. Nice.

[@walkerrosewood]

Excellent narration, Coach! Thank you! A+

[@MrStrikeforce1987]

This is awesome! I get so much out of Roll narration videos

[@---sm5hg]

Great video learning so much from you

[@aliataya5125]

Wow Firas moves fluidly!

[@googluml]

Hi Firas! Which books would you suggest for bjj beginners? (Every other books you suggest on personnal development and improvement?) Thanks again for making all those nice videos and sharing this ton of incredible info on fitness, nutrition, life advices and of course martial art

[@phillspearsfish]

Thanks Coach, Love these videos!

[@vmbrazilianjj]

Awesome narration and roll, I was wondering because I might be visiting tristar in the future, hopefully in the next few yrs. You mentioned that you guys do leg locks, but is it considered ok to do imanari rolls and scissor takedowns

[@ZlGZ4G]

Aye! Eric Spicely rolling to the right @ 5:15!Rhode Island represent!

[@6laka.]

ZlGZ4G did you see him at providence NAGA in oct?

[@demianthebackpackmaia435]

This is amazing! You can learn so much from such a (relatively) short time

[@k.padraigokane1472]

Love yer vibe, technique, and tutorials! Masterful! (Brown Belt, Miami, Valente Bros. Jiu Jitsu).

[@piotrskobel3648]

Firas's natural movement.

[@eia14]

Awesome video! Can you do a tutorial on transitions between leglock positions (ashi garami, outside ashi, cross ashi, 50/50)?

[@robynhardin6765]

Firas great video! I was wondering what software program you are using to combine commentary with your pen animation?

[@stuartroberts4400]

My favourite youtube channel, thank you so much for the great varied content, just two questions do you think you could upload your AMA's and 'talking martial arts' to itunes as in podcast format?, also would you do more videos like the one above, a gi one would be interesting. Thanks again.

[@ДмитрийИванов-к2ю7щ]

good video!!!! more this video plese. coach Zahabi you best!!!

[@jamesbishop3091]

Hey coach, how often do you finish the D'arce with the hand on the forearm like at 10:30? I sometimes struggle to finish it even when I get my hand on my bicep

[@spinavepradlo]

So helpful! Thank you Firas!

[@cornholio8681]

I love ur philosophy on leglocks vs takedowns

[@islyfe]

Thanks for sharing Firas!

[@Objectiveindividual1]

Very informative great stuff

[@Bilal-rp4mk]

Please do more leg lock tutorials.

[@samcannons8491]

What program do you use to make these great videos ?

[@bm3512]

Hello Firas ive asked you multiple questions in numerous videos. never seemed to have caught up. no probleem. would like to ask you something. I broke my left shin bone same way Anderson broke his. also same kind of operation. I broke my shinbone grapling a heavier opponent 25-30kg heavier. He did an inside legsweep on my left leg but he combined it with a hip throw? wierd right? weight advantage I geuss. I broke my shin in 3 places. gonne pick up bjj again when healed. would love to know how to defend the can opener when a much stronger guy does it. The normal defense putting left arm over, right arm under transisition to armbars doesnt seem to work against that pulling power. Can you tell me something more simple but effective please? much respect for the vids and evverything. greets from Belgium

[@salami7992]

Thank you for the Phenomenal instruction!

[@marcokazama3558]

tres tres bonne video et tu expliques vraiment bien continue

[@mcornielle]

if you see this i wanted to ask: why do you close the darce on the forearm and not the bicep? thanks

[@robertcrier3551]

How much do you charge for training at your gym? Might wanna move there from Alberta here.

[@marcrkid5491]

Awesome narration!

[@embomb701]

Just amazing, thanks for posting!

[@fightnfeast]

so much to study, Thank you Firas

[@orestisnalmpantis]

Coach is this the normal way you do sparring? Is this what you discussed before as the 60-70% of effort? Should this be our max volume sparring?

[@CoachZahabi]

Yes for the most part. I do go train at higher intensities sometimes also but for a limited time so as to avoid injury and burnout.

[@orestisnalmpantis]

Tristar Gym thanks coach

[@MrMrbrianbechtel]

rolling with u guys looks like a blast...

[@nivlemjrortsac6493]

GREAT content coach

[@theticoboy]

Professor Firas, for us who train at gyms that only teach sport jiu jitsu, can you make some videos on basic striking techniques that we can incorporate and the proper way to do the techniques?

[@smallscreentv1204]

Well explained.... thanks

[@ScientistSam1]

Firas, a lot of my game (especially no gi) is ashi garami based. Do you have any recommendations on how to make ashi garami a more viable position for my game?

[@yaka4821]

Will there ever be another GSP q&a?

[@CoachZahabi]

yes sir coming your way

[@Karim-mk8nq]

magnifique ! une video sur les coudes en mma pour faire plaisir au nak muay?!

[@JonasUllenius]

Coach Firas Zahabi, the warrior poet

[@aronpearce348]

A quick question, from an MMA stand point wouldn't it be dangerous to pull closed guard in the transition of a takedown as your opponent may just choose to slam you to complete his takedown anyway?

[@vmbrazilianjj]

slams dont really hurt when pulling guard, at least from my experience, just as long as u tuck in your chin, personally i dont jump closed guard or any guard as a matter of fact instead i jump into attacks it may be a sub a sweep or a transition but never just pull guard, if you are jumping de la riva (yes it can be done and i do it) make sure to not even stay in that position for more than a second, just attack

[@aronpearce348]

Awesome. Thanks for the quality answer! :)

[@vmbrazilianjj]

no problems

[@adnaneelhajjaji9121]

Adnane from Morocco : Mr Zahabi you have been warming up and posting a lot of grappling videos lately and it looks like you are ready to breakdown Tony vs Khabib as you know grappling would be a huge aspect in that fight

[@WorkerBeesUnite]

Now more than ever hehe

[@MatrixJiuJitsu]

dope video as always! a video about your take on 50/50 would be cool.

[@ljcadzow80]

Thanks Firas, slick Darce

[@rellha3940]

Can you do a tutorial on options from the over/under ? And underhook on the feet

[@kason42kl]

If he controls the other leg during the armbar, couldn't you just strip off that grip too?

[@shaunyb0i]

would like to see a tutorial on that scissor sweep to side control

[@princematharu822]

Excellent! As always! Much appreciated. btw, what are some of your favorite books on psychology?

[@CoachZahabi]

Prince Matharu I recommend "Mindset" by Carol Dweck

[@princematharu822]

Tristar Gym thank you great book! :)

[@BloopShow]

7.18 What is he saying here? Esteema? Never heard of this. Could be Esgrima, as he talks about the esgrima pass with semi-regularity, but didn't know there was also an Esgrima guard? Thanks in advance for anyone who answers.

[@entengummitiger1576]

This needs more iterations! Please, make a second one!

[@richardkovacs2671]

About the leg locks. Is it because of injurys or maby risk of disqualification in competition that many schools dont have leg locks? I see no other reson but surley someone knows for sure?

[@PandarenMaster]

Can you some of Marcelo's rolls and break it down for us, lol!

[@urbancamp5595]

what software do you use for editing ?

[@aijaz4441]

Please suggest some good BJJ schools in central new Jersey...

[@hopeigetthere]

What if slams are allowed when he jumps Web guard?

[@mephistosteiner8064]

Firas, please make an in depth video on Basic things to do and to avoid in BJJ positions like at 9:34 "The hornets nest" NO ONE ever talks about these basic first chess moves in BJJ! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jakelnot]

Perfect content

[@punitkhanolkar5637]

Question: Will Khabib manage to take Ferguson down and impose his will early in the fight or will the fight be a standup matchup for longer than most of us expect? Also, if Ferguson does manage to stop Khabib's takedowns will we see an early ko/tko considering Khabib's standup game was not at it best in his last performance and was rocked by mj a couple of times, who, as we all know is not of the same caliber as Khabib's opponent this time..

[@richardlancelot3829]

MJ handily beat Ferguson when they fought though, and has gotten tagged way more than Khabib. There is really nothing indicating Khabib has worse stand/up than Tony.

[@liamdillon7062]

+Richard lancelot there is litterly nothing indicating khabibs stand up is even okay

[@richardlancelot3829]

*Leans into mic* WRONG! He held his own against RDA(got tagged way less than Tony, and didn't need an eyepoke) and absolutely lit up Pat Healy on the feet.

[@liamdillon7062]

+Richard lancelot pat healy is no where near top level and rda was to bothered about the takedown. Pls dont try pretend like khabib has good stand up

[@hilariousgas]

you are a genius

[@paragon1782]

this had so many nuggets

[@cvroy21]

what belt is your opponent?

[@ZombieSahara_official]

0:03 counter single leg with darce 6:55 sweep 08:43 sweep 12:06 delariva transition

[@DykuNKE]

Make video when you roll with big +265 lbs guy.

[@CoachZahabi]

DykuNKE good idea!!

[@pmac2015]

DykuNKE would love to see that as well! How to survive in bad positions against larger opponents.

[@vmbrazilianjj]

easy, let them get side control then invert triangle the hell outta them, and donkey guard, im serious, it is the most underrated guard there is

[@billgates8744]

Hey firas do you think you can do a video on MMA WRESTLING AND THE PERFECT RANGE TO PLACE YOUR SELF FOR MMA STRIKING THANKS FIRAS YOUR A GREAT COACH also could you do a video on double legs and the blast double

[@IceMan-cm3hv]

can you cover side control position so drills
