GSP TRAINER, FIRAS ZAHABI ON REAL KARATE! A REAL BLACK BELT TEACHES FOR THE STREET! MUST SEE!

[@Kalydosos]

I skipped listening to my early morning recordings on stoicism for this, well worth it!

[@ea146810]

I started karate back in the early 80's. I am 53 now. When we trained back then it was for fighting. I lived in South Central LA. I got knocked out and knocked out fellow practioneners. As I got older and wanted to continue training I started see the rise of the so called Mc dojo. I was in the military and moved around and it got harder and harder to find a true self defense school. I reached rank of 3rd degree black belt in Kempo but stopped looking for a place to train because everything got so watered down. I recently found your channel and love what you are doing about practical applications. I also like how you drop knowledge on the history. Please keep it up

[@TheChaoslusterhall]

Nice.After washing this channel it's Now it's starting to make sense to me why there seemed to be a shotokan typa influence in some military training . Makes me wanna learn more.

[@Pan.USA.Dojang]

How i keep missing your videos. Excellent 👍

[@SunMagnetic]

Asa, Brother. Thanks for this video. The teaching your giving is easily worth a few mat fees. Much gratitude extended

[@mikaelmendoza1987]

As always this channel proving over and over that the uncomfortable truths are more real than ever... Looking up for when you release those DVDs it will be priceless material I'm sure of it .. I'll be one of the first to buy it

[@malcolm_themeekservant]

Yo this is insane, literally, so I throw my blows with the principle of going from soft to hard. Or like water flows from loose to crashing which gives me a real nice snap on punches and kicks (learned the principle from my pops) I was literally experimenting with my whole body movement to gain that same sort of speed and I was using these same principles. Albeit I didn't know they were karate principles. Love your channel, looking forward to more karate breakdowns, always seeking to learn more on the martial path. Thank you sir

[@KunTaoRuiDian]

This is fantastic thank you,

[@RandelOland901-ATT]

I can't tell you how many people were surprised when I told them that GSP's base is Karate and Wrestling. Most of them think his base is kick boxing and bjj. Side note: What's your thoughts on the Wilder vs Fury fight.

[@gyrox0031]

He does have a Karate base but after that he got into BJJ and actually holds a black belt in the art, then that led him to wrestling

[@RandelOland901-ATT]

​@@gyrox0031 True but GSP uses wrestling (combined with karate) to get his opponents down and keep them down. Most of GSP's wins are via decisions (ground and pound).

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@@gyrox0031 : Since this channel is not ran by someone who makes a living off of you tube, I can afford to be truthful. At that, here are the facts: GSP, in his prime was NOT a black belt in BJJ. He was a purple belt. Add to that what the EYES see-WRESTLING. GSP has been known for many years as MMA's best WRESTLER. THAT is what you see when he fights as is the case with 95% top MMA fighters.

[@gyrox0031]

@@TheUmmahFightCamp I'm well aware of that, I was just pointing out that he does also do BJJ, they way the original commenter worded it, it sounded like he has no BJJ training at all, which isn't true

[@richardclark4733]

GSP got a karate black belt before he was 12. Once he learned about BJJ and wrestling, he focused his attention there.

[@mr.blackman3312]

Can't wait for you to release more work

[@deathcador]

masha Allah coach you really master so many type of martial art; Boxing, Wing Chun, Karate, I wonder if you also train in BJJ, Wrestling and Muay Thai also. People trashing Wing Chun like crazy but I heard Tony Ferguson uses Wing Chun technique in his last fight there are so many things to dig and learn. What I am worried is that, when there are no young martial art practitioner step up and show how traditional martial art can compete also with the current Boxing, BJJ, Wrestling and Muay Thai mixed up, people start to leave traditional martial art while there can be so many thing that you can learn there. And perhaps maybe boxing is not the best way to protect yourselves, because I found blocking knuckle punches with the way boxer block punches, especially the way they block hook, it is not even really blocking it just absorbing the punches and the shock with your hand, it can be effective with gloves but without gloves you will still get hit hard, harder if the opponent larger and stronger than you, they maybe even can crush through my block.

[@patrickcollins1855]

I had given up Teakwondo, because the guy gave me a yellow belt I knew I didn't deserve. I teach myself on self protection and avoid conflict.

[@pausetapemedia7942]

I have a question to ask you have heard of Billye Jackson or Manson Gibson?? They where kickboxers in the early 80s? Bill Jackson is the one who knocked Benny Uquedez on his Ass and when he asked Benny to fight billy again he said no

[@herbalistklg8017]

Love this Thank you

[@paulb2995]

What an interesting time we live in now. 60-80 years ago, which isn't too far, you would be called crazy if you said that you witnessed a fully bearded American Black Muslim Kuro-Obi, in Karate Gi performing Kata! Martial arts transcending man made barriers, borders, ideologies.

[@filipinoheat8054]

Ummah nice Karate Instruction, are you gonna do a break down video of the Pacquiao vs Broner Fight please do🥊

[@TheSubwaysurfer]

When i learned karate in the 70 s the ckasses were NOT big because karate was dangerous. Id routinely come hone with injuries. Sparring was mandatory and full contact from the neck down. No gloves. We were not permitted to punch to the face but we were allowed to kick thete. So yiu could potentially get hit with a spinning back kick tobthe head. I was knocked out by that technique. Also if you DID get hit with a punch ti the head you were encouraged to suck it up and endure it

[@justinalexander5959]

A Kyokushin Black Belt is gonna give you PROBLEMS.

[@complexblackness]

Could be a backfist/knuckle strike also from the fence and Ed Sullivan.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

ComplexBlackness: Could be SPITTING from the fence and Ed Sullivan! Spitting was not part of the kata though lol. Also, a forearm with the bone trumps a back fist.

[@leonidvishniakov3810]

Good staff

[@o2xb]

Salaam Sayf, hope you're well!!! I'd love to see you and our brother Firas get together and talk about all things MA. I believe he is of the opinion that its BJJ rather than wrestling which is the most effective base MA with respect to MMA.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

o2xb: If Firas thinks BJJ is the most dominate base in MMA, he is wrong like everyone else and I would question his logic (as a fellow Philosophy major :) for saying or thinking otherwise when the proof is so obvious.

[@bobm3250]

@@TheUmmahFightCamp people skip out on Silat ground fighting and Kali. BJJ wouldve never got so popular if the judoka from japan didnt send their students to live and teach overseas. They migrated just for that fact. Silat and Kali has striking, clinching and takedowns with submissions and destructions on the ground. The crazy thing is these arts are thousands of years old but yet have the Striking to Takedown techniques mastered. Modern MMA evolved on its own but ir they had Silat or Kali as their base to begin with, we wouldve got further a long time ago! But it is what it is

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@@bobm3250 : Good points. I do believe though that because of its innate rules of execution, wrestling would still prove Superior. The reason wrestling is king is because it simply is more ballistic as a rule. The response is not to "flow", but to hit the point quickly with power and speed at the right time leaving little to no time to defend. The flowing of other arts make them easier to defend.

[@michaelellis141]

I just want to say any Black Male who grew up in the streets of Philly like Brother Carman and is still alive and well, already has proven Street Wise Combat Credentials. Add to that Brother Carmen has Old School training in Boxing, Karate and other Martial Arts that he does'n't even reveal. Furthermore he's a strict disciplinarian-which means he can analyze other MMA participants & boxer's skills and concepts - and then apply his wisdom and knowledge in a real street combat situation. Anyone out there who thinks he's a fraud-is just totally ignorant-especially individuals who have not grown up in the inner city!

[@louisekenway3455]

What's your style of Karate?

[@dulecorleone]

Shotokan

[@dstevenson100]

Can we be honest Karate got water down because white people in America saw dollar signs

[@christopher1151]

dstevenson100 no, Karate only works on untrained people who have zero fighting ability

[@gavinst.clairthedefiningmo9985]

@@christopher1151 , Your reason for saying this, if you don't mind ?

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@@christopher1151 : Now I have the time to answer your comment. I am black and born in a black area. I routinely beat the crap out of people with Karate as have my teachers and class mates. In YOUR area karate was garbage because the make up of the people demanded it. Now maybe you think laying on your back looking for an arm bar is fighting. My people think that is a good way to get stomped. I also have a school that you can visit. students of ALL weights that would like you to try to submit them.

[@christopher1151]

TheUmmahFightCamp This is hilarious. Martial artists don’t talk about “beating the crap out of people”. You speak like a fraud edged you ARE a fraud. Too many Jacky Chan movies for you and your students. . You sound very ignorant. Honestly I feel like you don’t even deserve my time for a reply. You’re some fake ass King fu dork. What is your school called?Where is it? What are your credentials? What mma league have you fought in? And how many of your students fight professionally and what are there names? . I’m sure all 11 people that follow your KZbin page would like to know the answers to my questions. Go ahead. The 12 of us will wait.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@@christopher1151 : What is hilarious is you coming into my forum with your bull shit and then want to talk about some kind of morality lol. Next, the fact that you are talking about being in some MMA league tells me that you are a white hater who thinks Joe Rogan is a fighting God lol. listen bitch, I do not play with people like you. My credentials are REAL fighting. NOT sport. I teach people to hurt people as quickly and as much as possible when they think they are threatened. Now if you think your BJJ and medals can hold up, make an appointment. My last student just beat trial for attempted murder after he beat up a man for punching his sister. THAT is what I do, faggot. Now talk about morality and what a martial artist is if you want lol. Let me know when you are bringing your BJJ and MMA to prove what you said.
