@@db5175 Because he said Firas is gentle but threatening? Mate... If that's all it takes to make you think about homosexuality, you should check your own mind ;)
So this is how we (BJJ practitioners) have to deal with a wrestler!! Pretty interesting because those men have a very specific way to grapple. They Always put pressure on you and on your upper body when you have them on your guard. Their hips are made of iron and are so tremendously difficult to reverse! Thank you for this footage Firas! :)
Just want to say well done to the wrestler. For a guy who obviously hasn't done much bjj he did great and frias would tap most people many more times then that in 10 mins.
Johnny is a world-class greco wrestler and did fantastic. So proud of him for learning BJJ from firas. To explain what BJJ was, I just said it was all the moves his insane Lithuanian wrestling coach would pass off as non-dirty wrestling. Also, I had to save someone by informing him that slams are not legal.
Firas, if it pleases you, I think we would all like to hear more discussion fundamental concepts such as balance, stance, weight transfer, etc. Whether approached from a strategic and tactical view or more philosophical in nature I would love to see what gems you can show us! I have been thinking so much lately about how balance is literally the foundation of all techniques!
That was pretty impressive cardio against a much younger guy! And it was great to see a bit action. There is nothing as walking the talk. Would it be possible for you to film, so that we can see you teaching a BJJ class in your gym, coach?
3:59 Most non BJJ people would not understand how this position is dangerous (for Firas). The wrestler almost has his back, not a good position to give and quite difficult for any BJJ player to get away from. Yet, Firas gets away without any strength or resistance. Just pure timing and technique. Incredible content as usual, OSS!
I really liked the first exchange at about 0:14 where you bumped him off his base and used your right hand to support your right knee as you rolled. I never thought to do that to add something extra to the momentum. Thanks Sir!
Note Zahabi's use of frames! On top, on bottom, standing! So precise. Never letting the wrestler get comfortable trying to control him, the kid NEVER got near Zahabi's hips. True Black Belt technique is attention to the minute details that create stability in a position before it is ever lost! Bravo!
If that was a real match, that's the slowest wrestler I've ever seen. Pretty clear that they're not going anywhere near full out and the wrestler isn't keeping pressure on like he normally would.
Great video. BJJ doesn't automatically make you a better wrestler than focused competitors. The reality is that Firas' opponent is young and strong. I'm a blue belt but the wrestler would make me work. Am implementing Firas' get-up to leg lock after watching this.
He's training a young wrestler that wants to learn no gi and doing a great job, gentle, positional and methodic to show the kid where his wrestling will breakdown in a no gi match.
Sadly, Catch Wrestling is very underrated. People don’t know what happened after the Gracies lost to the catch wrestler, Dos Santos, the Gracie brothers assaulted him 3 o n1 with metal tools causing him career-ending injuries.
Firas, what gear do you use when you grapple? Groin guard, Mouth guard? I always use a mouth guard and I have used a groin guard for a long time but lately the groin guard has been bugging me while rolling. What do you recommend?
What is it called when you go from a wisor on your knees into a roll that ends in what looks like a heel hook or toe hold, I’m sure that’s probably a dumb question to some people but that’s a common position for me especially when I’m rolling with bigger guys, I think that roll could really help my game a lot.
Dam, I’ve been teaching part time for over a decade and this coach still makes me look and feel like a pussy. He motivated me to train even harder though because he is the reason I spar even the biggest dam students in front of everybody. Got to get him to SEATTLE for a seminar. Seems like a great guy too. Keep up the great work coach 👍👍
In that first round it looked like the wrestler was going to get some single leg takedowns when he grabbed your leg. But then you inverted and leg locked him. Really fun video to watch.
I was really surprised he didn't try some different takedowns. I caught myself a couple times telling the wrestler to go for the ankle pick, it's right there!!! Then remembered, oh yeah, it's a BJJ black belt. Maybe rethink that pick lol.
Man wearing shoes. Good luck getting out of leg locks. I didn't notice arm drags were getting nullified. From bottom it is either sweep or leg submission. Any breakdowns?
9:28 i don't even know what to call that amazing sweep. It started with a sacrificial knee pick/half guard pull, and finished with double butterflies and a power half nelson from the front.
The funny thing about this video is watching all he dudes in the background sitting around. The guy with his shirt off looks like a professional hamstring stretcher. Why is everyone so lax?
I don't quite understand the wrestler's objective during the roll. Was he just supposed to exhibit wrestler-type behavior? Is he just trying to control Firas as wrestlers tend to do? I didn't see him attempt any subs-is this by design or is he just learning BJJ at this point? Just curious.
Nice roll, though your partner obviously didn't have a well-developed understanding of Jiu Jitsu. That was probably the point of the video, though. A narration like you used to do would have been great in this.
and the wrestler wasn't pushing it very hard. They were not going full speed and the wrestler was not keeping pressure on Firas like he would have in an actual wrestling match.
Just goes to show in this day and age how important leg lock defense or even awareness is every time a leg lock was throwing on this guy he just laid there and let it happen didnt do anything to prevent it. By the look on his face he just gave up and let it happen.
He is extremely new to leg locks, and is smart enough to not fight out of it thankfully, as he's grappling for Canada in high level competitions. Best to err on the side of caution (esp as someone who's recovering from ACL surgery rn)
Young fit wrestler but Firas and BJJ way more technically advanced in key areas. Firas wasted much less energy than the wrestler dud. Wrestlers don't seem to understand guard passing and when Firas fully mounted the wrestler the wrestler bear hugging Firas from the bottom was a waste of energy that Firas calmly framed the head and neck down to the floor and then took the arm. Leg locks, joint locks, guard game (passing and applying are not things wrestlers seem to have much knowledge in. The strength of the wrestler is in stand up takedowns and takedown D...but once they hit the floor the wrestler understands how to grind and pin. The best part about BJJ is that it doesn't necessarily require great athletic skill and fitness to pull it off...it requires strong BJJ technique and experience...that's it.
Different training focuses. Starting standing isn't always better because it means less time spent on the ground. Breaking it up allows you to spend more time developing one or the other.
Yeah I get that . When we train sometimes we start from a certain position too (guard, half-guard ...) But when the title is Bjj vs wrestling and the wrestling is starting from the guard XD Tha confused me a little
He can go on side control and try some submission that are good for wrestler it's harder to do that starting from the guard. On top of that as a said before the result was gonna be the same the lack of submission in wrestling and the fact that he's rolling with coach Firas .
Wrestling is a martial art that is limited so you don't hurt the other wrestler and the objective is to put you opponent's back to the mat. While it's techniques are beneficial in grappling and getting your opponent to the ground, it is not geared to making someone surrender from pain or pass out from being choked! That's where Jujitsu comes to play!
They're just as clean as your feet. At least when I was wrestling, your shoes never touched anything but the mat. You didn't wear them out anywhere else. Get changed, get in the wrestling room on the mat and put your shoes on there. When you're done, take them off and drop them back in your bag.
You can’t really compare wrestling and judo because in wrestling the match ends once your on ya back but judo goes until someone gives in. But ultimately, speaking as a American wrestler, I’m pretty sure a wrestler could put a decent fight up against a judo fighter in a judo match but I can’t say we would win haha
Daniel Cormier should be awarded another belt. "Hypocrite Champion of UFC". One of the most vocal voices in the UFC about steroids and denies a rematch to a true Champion Stipe Miocic, and then wants to fight a "steroid junkie". Exposed Fraud! The respect I was learning to give Daniel has just been hit with a tidal wave of "hypocrisy". Comes down on Jones about steroids to fight a life long steroid addict. No wonder he is retiring, wants no part of getting beat a third time. Three strikes and your legacy is out. Fans demand a rematch with the real champ Miocic or Jones and let him fight Brock at a WWE event after he retires like Rhonda did. No wonder Jones scoffs at Cormier for being shallow. So glad to hear that Luke Rockhold is training Kabib with Cormier. Luke knocked out twice, Cormier beat twice by Jones, so Khbib loss would allow him to join their elite club of UNSTOPPABLES being stopped. One thing people don't even consider about Conor and Daniels's stablemate Khbib. It is not just his left. It is in his eyes. Their scary, menacing, not natural. Something happens that clicks on when he enters the ring. He has that Charles Manson look. He fears no one. No one has that look in the UFC, that mind is the greatest weapon he has, not his left. The very first time I saw him I noticed that crazed look as hard as flint. He himself believes his mind can penetrate the weapons of any of his opponents regardless of who his opponent is. If this was not true he would not jump into the maulers cage after a long lay off. He is a David that loves to fight the Goliath's. He sees the win before it happens. Will his mind prevail over Khabib physical strength and size? For me I will be watching his mind, not his left. The left is just the tool to do what the mind has already planned. I'm not drinking the Conor kool-Aid, but I have watched everyone count him out to soon. Conor does not even know the word intimidation is in the dictionary. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Khabib is just imitating Conor, the only difference is Conor's is not a act. It is who he is like Ali. Win or lose, Conor and Ali are still the greatest who took their loses like a true champion would. Not like Rhonda or Cody. Nor like Mighty Mouse who would not fight TJ, yet Henry jumped at the first chance. I hope that Henry gets the million dollar payday and and the cheese, and the mouse gets the 350,000. Then he blamed Dana White for low pay. Worlds Strongest man who never took Steroids, TRT or HGH at 68, now 72 with a "will" that understands Conor's "will". When he "set his face like flint" it is very chilling. It is no hyped up act, that everyone is trying to copy, even Khabib. I respect the fact that Khabib is wrestling with two big bears like Cormier and Cain, but that makes Conor the hunter looking to bag the trophy with a marksmen's eye. I used to belong to Safari Club International and the first lesson you learn in bringing down a bear, lion, tiger is you can't miss when being charged. If you do it is fatal. Its frightening being in the cross-hairs of hit-man. Truly a Ali Vs. Frazier high level war I saw. Khabib you better make weight. And its Dana's job to see to it that he is on point the whole step of the way knowing his history. The bottom line for some athletes it is the "mind" not the physical attributes. To understand this "mentality" watch Alex Honnold climb the North Face with no ropes. Or Nick Wallenda walk the high wire over Chicago blinded folded. These are "Mind Athletes" like Conor that transcends the physical which people mock when they fail. Why? Job 5:12 Those who are at "ease" have contempt for misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping. How do you expect a fan to understand this "mind set" when they are sitting at "ease" who come to watch them fail, rather then succeed. It would be like asking a fan after Wallenda walked across the wire with a wheel barrow, then on the way back ask a fan at "ease" if he would get in to go back.

Not to be disrespectful to Zahabi, but saying wrestler, when there is such a wide spectrum of wrestlers, is disrespectful to wrestling. Because wrestling doesn't have a belt system we need to know what level wrestler he is. Is he a college level division 1 wrestler? I would have to say definitely not, by the way he handle the the stand up portion of the match. Wrestlers are some bad ass dudes at the higher levels. To let some high school wrestler, with who knows how many years experience, represent wrestling versus jiu jitsu. Would be the same as letting some white belt represent jiu-jitsu versus a college division 1 wrestler. Again with know disrespect to Zahabi.
Those shoes were invitations for heel hooks/leg locks etc. Every time I see wrestlers with those on vs a good bjj player I cringe. Except if you're Josh Barnett and you go the full Monty with the nut hugging singlet. Then I just feel uncomfortable at the outfit and cringe because someone's getting their neck vertebrae cracked w an old school neck crank.
You should just post daily 10 minute videos of you rolling. Even if you're too busy to add commentary... We'd all still appreciate it.
I second that
Even if it was a weekly uncommented roll that would be gold

I dont get it Wy don't you guys start standing ? I'm not saying it would have changed the outcome bu you're nerfing his wrestling a lot
Different training focuses. Starting standing isn't always better because it means less time spent on the ground. Breaking it up allows you to spend more time developing one or the other.
Yeah I get that . When we train sometimes we start from a certain position too (guard, half-guard ...)

It would be like asking a fan after Wallenda walked across the wire with a wheel barrow, then on the way back ask a fan at "ease" if he would get in to go back. Yet he would be the first to say he got what he deserved.

Khabib father's prediction. What he says in true however he over looked one big weapon.

Wrestling shoes came off real quick
if this is a rolling session, no matter what bjj will win. A fight where a wrestler can use punches= R.I.P to your bjj
Not to be disrespectful to Zahabi, but saying wrestler, when there is such a wide spectrum of wrestlers, is disrespectful to wrestling. Because wrestling doesn't have a belt system we need to know what level wrestler he is. Is he a college level division 1 wrestler? I would have to say definitely not, by the way he handle the the stand up portion of the match. Wrestlers are some bad ass dudes at the higher levels. To let some high school wrestler, with who knows how many years experience, represent wrestling versus jiu jitsu. Would be the same as letting some white belt represent jiu-jitsu versus a college division 1 wrestler. Again with know disrespect to Zahabi.
In 9:58 run and hit his back in wall
Those shoes were invitations for heel hooks/leg locks etc. Every time I see wrestlers with those on vs a good bjj player I cringe.
Except if you're Josh Barnett and you go the full Monty with the nut hugging singlet. Then I just feel uncomfortable at the outfit and cringe because someone's getting their neck vertebrae cracked w an old school neck crank.
Haha Josh with the classic small shorts!
yo those shoes make it too easy to heel hook ha
Well this is a modern sports wrestler and not a catch as catch can wrestler i would guess?
