8:26, Rory Macdonald is cleaning the octagon in the background, a true humble martial artist indeed, the epitomy of humility

[@darknessfadestolight4312]

MMA king Rory is a really good guy. I used to train at Toshido in Kelowna BC years ago. Rory's original gym. He was a quiet , sponge willing to do whatever it takes in all areas of his game even back when he was 15 , 16 yrs old. TriStar couldn't be a better place for him and his attitude. His work ethic is impeccable

[@mikehunt6295]

MMA king no that's a Canadian for you we're all humble but tuff we're built winter tuff up here the cold makes us stronger ppl

[@mmaking8664]

Mike Hunt Couldn't agree more my friend

[@MystiqWisdom]

Is that Rory or Firas? I thought it was Firas at first

[@LoneBaldEagle]

[@juliolui7517]

[@ronthunders6124]

firas is definitely a genius and an original. Hes like cus d amato in that way that he is brilliant in technique, and brilliant in psychology! hes a living mma legend and an all around special person. That gym has something incredibly unique.

[@cambo6911]

Considering Coach & Georges are 2 of my 5 favorite people in the world, I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's never been my style to be fanatical or to idolize another person but my admiration for Coach & Georges is profound. The fact that they're best friends and a team is even furthermore extraordinary, till you understand them, then it's plain as day. I just don't find people that I appreciate and admire so adamantly and completely, much less two acquaintances. To hear Georges speak of his unwavering trust in Coach, is something that I find very endearing and wholeheartedly understand. I've listened to Coach for ours and have come to realize I simply cannot think of a time that I disagreed with him regarding a philosophical point of view, or idea of something, etc., save one, which I will reserve specifically mentioning, as it was somewhat meaningless, it was his idea on a certain match up. I MUST get to Tristar, I have this recurring deep seated feeling of having basically wasted my whole life. My intelligence, my athleticism, my eagerness to learn, my overall abilities, I've wasted them all. It sucks to think too much on so I try not to, just enough to motivate me. I don't mean to be braggadoscious, it's just that I was taught to logically and sensibly recognize my worth by my mother but to also be humble about it. I fear I didn't recognize my worth or my potentials till much too late in life. For me it's not mostly about what I could've been but rather fully exploring my capabilities. My boundaries of mental and physical capabilities and the melding of the two. If I can just get to Tristar before I get too much older, I can maybe stop this unfathomable feeling of wasting away..... I will make it happen! "The cup is neither half full nor half empty. The cup is at half its capacity." ❤ "I think when you cross examine your fears, you'll find a lot of times they're not so big and scary" ❤ "I feel very confident to have Firas on my side." ❤ IMHO True Martial Arts and wisdom go hand in hand. They're both a journey from which you never arrive but moreso are rather receiving of, mind, heart, body, and soul. Awesome little documentary FN, Thank you!

[@LeGaben]

Those knee exploding backflips cost him.

[@jeffs.1999]

Great stuff!

[@thedarkdangler2932]

Absolutely amazing video

[@jocpowell1]

Just stunning! Thanks you FN

[@esudo]

Great series fight network.

[@loudaman8864]

Tremendous work in this video and it's the type of style and storytelling that is seen more in other documentaries and it's nice to see someone doing this for MMA. Extremely well done.

[@xXShowGameXx]

amazing video !

[@lchristianrojas3713]

Thank you for giving us your time.

[@jean-francoisjoanisse1445]

[@TheMegaPunters]

Just Fantastic I'm really enjoying Tristar Stories

[@abdq4712]

Phenomenal work, Firas is a very interesting individual.

[@waalex11]

Great Video

[@Misunderstood78ca]

Great promotion for Tri-Star, well done!

[@Raghuveer2798]

Firas is an absolute legend.

[@EnFyr]

Great video, it truly shows who Firaz is.

[@ronniefox5025]

Pete sprat at the time was offered a title shot after beating Lawler but chose to fight in Canada vs an unknown GSP. That put him on the map for me.

[@darknessfadestolight4312]

So inspiring

[@buzby303]

Wow ! What a coach. 👊🏼😉👍🏼

[@mikehunt6295]

I shake like crazy before a fight so I understand the whole being scared thing but it gives u power

[@bricktop.]

Mike Hunt Me too , when I'm smacking pads backstage and Marshie my coach is going over the plan I'm all nerves but when I'm stood at the top of the steps and my music starts I'm oddly very calm. But the week leading up to it I can't sleep or concentrate on anything and I'm only a low level amateur fighting in nightclubs and leaisure centres. It must be so crazy for a pro!

[@RubbinRobbin]

@@bricktop. i think pros are used to it after a while like they get and the great ones become calm.

[@MC-rf8sx]

What a great team

[@MC-rf8sx]

This gym is so legendary to me if I could pick any place to go and train and there's so many great places but I would pick these guys just ahead of ATT for me

Firas "Pai Mei" Zahabi, mastermind.

[@samichrise5954]

Tristar and AKA for me are the best place for mma those people are to simply the best in the world all respect nothing to say

[@sdbrahm2294]

Firas is so intellectual its mind boggling

[@edmondlau511]

“When you cross examine your fears oftentimes you find they’re not so big and scary.” Michael Jordan said something similar. He said fears and limitations are often just an illusion.

[@the_arii__0082]

Good bless georges

[@nikolaborkovic9804]

11:33 Rory Macdonald 👍

[@camouflagedninja4398]

What is that punch that GSP does at 11:08? He starts from an orthodox stance, feints a right cross, throws the jab while cutting an angle. What is that called? I like it.

[@drharshilrohit9148]

superman jab

[@cambo6911]

Georges uses these angles/ switch angles/ combinations a few different ways. Like Marshil indicated, this is the superman jab/punch. You'll also see Georges throw the cross through one angle, then chop with a leg kick through the opposite angle. Personally, I don't refer to these exiting directions as angling out but rather angling through. A good example of angling out would be Tony Ferguson vs Abel Trujillo. Georges used these movements against Matt Hughes if I remember right... Got him good with that cross step through leg kick. It's tricky 👍

[@nikiedmonds6236]

If I were going to train MMA I would choose Firas and Tristar as my coach and gym first and foremost over any other MMA gym out there (Jackson/Wink MMA runs a close second)

[@cambo6911]

Me too but probably Matt Hume 2nd Alliance or Roufusport for a 3rd with Jack/Wink 4th

[@theoneofeight]

Anyone know the song name at 6:45?

[@Deadlygangsta]

Firas is a good coach, and he is a student of the game. I think he is overrated sometimes, but he will get better everyday, he has the right mindset.

[@jr5993]

Everyday I love martial arts more and more.

[@s.sarjonmahmud6231]

Firas turned himself into the GREATEST TRAINER of THE GREATEST FIGHTER EVER

[@lekcian3633]

Stratosphere Edge by Adam Janota-Bzowski & George Indigo

[@traderpapertiga]

Firas and GSP, the most successful partnership in MMA history and the architects of the modern era “My number one priority was education.” 10:24 Firas Zahabi

[@lucacasagrande381]

gsp the GOAT , best ever

[@dementionbg]

Firas mind + Artem`s power + flowiness = P4P GOAT

[@MikeGrinder666]

Why did GSP leave the UFC?

[@TheBoss-ey1li]

Mike Nayyar he is back mow

[@cambo6911]

He desperately needed a break for several comprehensible reasons.

[@demianthebackpackmaia435]

[@HoboSammiches]

Bez poun for poun

[@bobraimer3662]

00:38 WTF? Firas mother language is french. Watched many interviews of him in french and I can attest his first language is french canadian... Why is he inventing this story?

[@panthershockey4453]

sorry firas but capacity is the same thing as saying the glass is half full, cool video still

[@reyalecio3501]

Ok now in English

[@sebastianococco9507]

you should probably read the actual argument

[@khalidal-subaihi9827]

It may be, but the point is to look at the issue from the angle of ability not how much

[@GaetanoProchilo1989]

"Every era, is his fookin era" - Conor McGregor

[@tomwalker389]

Georges always has had lots of excuses for losing to Matt Serra.
