The importance of coaching! Is training at 100% capacity and power good or bad?

[@MMAShredded]

one of my fav videos thus far!

[@DaMartialAthlete]

I’ve learned to not go 100% during training as well. Injuries to my knees the past 4-5 years made me realize I’m getting older and more importantly I don’t like taking time off and doing rehab so fuck going 100% thank u firaz for making me feel better about myself 👍🏽

[@Z3N1T4]

If I was a coach I'd agree with the fighter before hand to ignore my uppercut calls. Then I'd start screaming "UPPERCUT" randomly and see if the opponent takes the bait.

[@sns-ui5ct]

Great video coach, I'm a huge fan! Love from Bangladesh!

[@TheGameSharer4U]

Hey coach, I've been watching MMA aand only combat sports since the age of 11 and I'm 24 now. Started Shotokan Karate when i was 10 and dreamt about MMA and all the other disciplines my whole life. I want to one day have a job in MMA whether it be a podcast. Coach, analyst, or potential participant. I hope one day me and my girlfriend and little girl can come to Canada and visit, id love to train a few days and see what its like. One day... Ive always been too nervous to go but i heavily contemplated doing Wrestling going into 9th grade just for MMA. Its a dream to live off of marital arts coach. Thank you for everything you and GSP have given us fans. If I ever competed you have such a great mind, id try to learn from you and be coached by you!

[@TheLockon00]

4:58 Awesome point! I notice that a lot when fighters do commentary or analysis. Often they provide suggestions based on their own skill sets and preferences, with no regard to how the person in the cage actually fights, and what, based on their style, they could be doing to win.

You’re one of best mma coach

[@KaliCarter]

Good stuff, coach. I’m going to pick up that book.

[@jasonnieuwenhuis335]

Kali Carter ya I’m read it to help me as a competitive pool player. I’ve seen real improvement in my nerves in tournaments and money matches. Also I feel like I’m probably really good at tennis now, ha ha!

[@KaliCarter]

Jason Nieuwenhuis I picked it up. Looking forward to reading it.

[@CoachGrodno1]

Hi, Firas ! Thank you for your videos & the priceless knowledge that you give us ! Could you give me a piece of advice: how should I recover from long & exhausting training camps?

[@christopherrocha6438]

Thank you coach

[@nolimitstrength]

Coach, how do you help athletes to warm up mentally and physically before a competition in a way that does not adversely impact their performance?

[@rayraw1576]

Great advice

[@JonasUllenius]

100% how long can you train that way? Is he train 100% for 5rounds? What does he mean about 100%? Different people think differently about 100% 95% 90% 85% Ex. It's like weight classes the fighter do spare at 200 pounds cut to 170 pounds and fights at 190pounds Is 100% x 3 rounds or 100% x 5 rounds. Great work great thx Coach.

I injured my self four days before a naga competition, judo throws.

[@bane3991]

I'm big on drilling slowly. I can't see how you drill it a couple times and you're drilling at 100 percent already without missing steps in the technique. I see a lot of people make the mistake of drilling too fast and it's all sloppy. I was drilling this new technique the other day and it felt weird because I'm not too familiar with this style. We were drilling back and forth and we didn't have the technique down all the way we would butcher it a little even going slow. Than this person starts going super fast. Than they start putting resistance. We don't even have the move down going slow and you want to go fast and add resistance on top of it? George St Pierre is know for drilling techniques very slowly and he's extremely detail oriented, down to the little details such as toe placement for example. People think you need to be going super quick after only drilling the move 3x.

[@zshakur]

Bane, Great point. Absolutely right. Slow is for learning. Medium speed is for drilling; focusing on touch and sensitivity. Resistance is for light sparring or pressure testing once the technique has been learned. Fast is for heavy sparring which is usually once you've become very proficient in that technique.

[@bane3991]

@@zshakur Resistance is for people who are proficient at the technique too. If you don't have the technique down than resistance will work against you instead of for you.

[@zshakur]

@@bane3991 True. But u can moderate the resistance to accommodate the level of proficiency so it's a bit more fluid...still, good point.

[@samuraifis]

Gold!!

[@mysty0]

Cornerman shouldnt be yelling Jab,Jab, Uppercut, Weave ffs, we are not remote controls. Corner should be looking for bigger things, keep on your toes, dont stand still.. and the infamous "Head Movement" lmao

[@blitzthekraken9832]

I disagree with the show and tell method with coaching at the professional level. I think Bilacheck, one of the greatest coach to live, would disagree too. At the professional level, the tools should be there. In any case, a coaches job is to strategize the best way to use those tools against an opponent. Bobby Fisher's coach William Lombardy strategized for Boby on what he needed to do based off opponents movements of chess pieces. Bobby already had the tools to play chess. He just needed the strategy to play better against different opponents. You don't need every tool, you just need the right tools at the right the time to win, and that is where coaches come into play.

[@pawanlaishram6703]

Hey firas whats the criteria to train at your gym...is it just for experienced or accomplished fighters or can someone just show up at the door and start training there???coz i'd like to train at tristar...n im a beginner

[@aleksanderkeca3110]

How you supposed to gauge 95%?

[@johns5969]

Aleksander Keca that’s easy. You just throw 5% less than 100%. Whatever the fuck that means...

[@thepyroguy624]

If you are a powerhouse and punch 85% on someones chin he's getting ko'ed...so its Hard for some dudes to spar Hard without getting damage

[@leglocksdontwork4243]

What are you‘re thoughts on the gi or rushgard policy in gyms like Gracie Barra?? Beforehand they step on the mat they have to by there stuff and everyone looks the same! For me it is also a part of killing creativity

[@marsoc0326]

Look at the military with uniforms and tight regulation for hair and such.People believe it kills creativity and it does for many people but a large portion of that have that mindset and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.but change the thinking around, if you cant show how "different" or " "special" you are by what colors you dye your hair or styles of clothes you wear how do you standout? In your performance you want to be seen seen as special and unique? You're going to have to do it by what you do and say.you want to be special perform better than everyone else. You want to show creativity and stand out on the mat? Do it by what you DO on the mat not by what you WEAR on the mat.There are obviously varying opinions on this and each have the cons and their merits.

[@aubreunbray5761]

And it's probably distracting the fighter by giving him real time advice. No way as the way

[@LuffyTheDawn]

this what i been saying but coaches dont fucking listen

[@thepyroguy624]

Coach, its easy for you to go like 50% somedays because you own the gym, but for regular young guy its not gonna happen. Like you go to a session and you go 50% The coaches gonna scream at you and If you spar 50% The other dude goes 80%+

[@JCBPARISPARIS]

you are right, at least in my academy, most of the time the partner want to win, so it's difficult to have this kind of light game.

[@trelus]

I hate when i see coaches screaming instructions during the round

[@roncruise4]

Bad.
