I'm as a Taekwondo instructor, i know your skill and ability and also I'm as a psychologist, I understand your mind. You are good, clever and beautiful. Wish you the best. Good luck to all Kurds and Kurdistan. Greeting and love from London.

[@zenajabbary5937]

Thank u thank u very much for ur nice coment

[@islamahmadzai3432]

Londonistan is a Good Country

[@corybeatbox5504]

I fucking love the Kurds!! They are the best of the best! They believe in equality and progressive values, while remaining true to their faith and right to a homeland! I'm of Irish background and I feel very sympathetic to the Kurdish people and their fight!! May the Kurds get their original homeland back. Sending positive thoughts to all Kurdish people!! Your not alone, there are many who aren't a stranger to injustice! Peace!!

[@corybeatbox5504]

zena jabbary I know the history of your people and it's been a long road. I suspect that after all of this ISIS group has been put into check, the result will be the beginning of a new Kurdish State. A truly progressive state in the region, with progressive values, that will put the Kurds on a fast forward track to a status of state. The Turkish and Iranians are terrified of the Kurds and I would be too, if I was a criminal dictator or religious cleric. I watch the news often and since the early 90's I have watched how the U.S. and other states keep putting down the Kurds. That trend has changed. I wish all Kurdish people in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey to know that you aren't alone in your struggle and I am far from alone in my thinking! Peace!

[@corybeatbox5504]

I'm Canadian and a fellow Canadian just died fighting along side the Kurdish people. I'm proud of his sacrifice, even if it was friendly fire by Kurds. He's from Moncton, N.B., just down the road from me. It's a small world and the Kurds aren't alone! Kick the shit out of ISIS for me!! Kurds rock!!!

[@zenajabbary5937]

Thank u .. Thank u very much all respect from kurdistan to canadian we love every one who help kurdistan 😉😊

[@corybeatbox5504]

zena jabbary Go Kurds! Go! Don't stop, don't quit and never settle. This is your chance to make your own state!! I hope Canada can help your soldiers win against the ISIS!! Good luck!

[@tuncaybal764]

Thank you brother we kurds are thankfull and helpfully to all our friends for us its not important wich background its or realigion its only important to have hearth and humanity :)

[@geminibashar]

The Kurds are one of the original Aryans, they didn't come from another "white" culture. Also what does Islam have to do with anything, Kurds are people not a religion

[@burns83]

[@richardcochell6777]

zena jabbary way to go! I love how your gym has so much diversity and tolerance towards other peoples religious values and ethnicity and is free from wackos like this Osama charictar. I hope you make it to the Olympics.

[@PhiLeo7973]

Kurdish TaeKwonDo Instructor Hossein Abdulrahman from Erbil,Iraq is a special and inspirational man. He is a true Warrior Poet. His young lady champion Zena Jabbary shines. If it's possible, her beauty is only exceeded by her warrior spirit, and lovely, supportive family. Instructor Abdulrahman teaches his students well. The beautiful sentiments he espouses of equality, tolerance of gender, religion,and nationality are paramount. Someday let us hope that Peace, Love, & Kindness reign on our Earth and that violence is only warranted to prevent the continuance of unprovoked aggression.

Why do the white belts wear black belt doboks?

[@teralldeshaun]

Can we actually see some fights instead of people discussing and preparing for them?

[@vukvuk5]

That is not the goal of this channel. I personally enjoy this channel. Being a brown belt in judo I enjoy seeing what other martial artists do to prepare for the fights. You can easily watch as many fights as your heart desires on youtube. But this is a deeper and more enjoyable insight into the world of fighting.
