Okay so I think I can sum up the video for those who don't feel like watching till the end: deescalation should take priority over violence; wearing a thick winter coat can make your chokes less effective; grappling can be ideal for 1 on 1 fights but striking is better if you are outnumbered; and if you ever really want to show Firas Zahabi something on your phone, make sure you're not in Canada.
I glanced over the thick winter coat issue, which I probably shouldn’t, especially since I live in an area with cold winters.
Wearing one can be a positive if you can easily Deescalate the other person, as the choke won’t be as effective. If they aren’t letting up, take the heavy jacket off and carefully choke them out, and hope that you have a sweater underneath Lol
Thanks bud
Thank you bro you saved me 9 valuable minutes!!!
I always wondered what it would be like if you used someone's winter coat like a lapel and choked them out with it, would it be possible or not depending on the frabic lol.

“Well, Your Honour, he asked me to have a look at his phone. It was at that point that I was forced to defend myself, throwing a right hand and knocking my assailant unconscious. God bless Canada.”
he's a clown
😂💀💀💀
The minute someone enters your personal space after you’ve repeatedly, consistently and explicitly made it clear you don’t want to interact with them, there is a threat of violence and you should have the right to defend yourself. This applies double in the case of women.
@@joshuaellison6356 you are stupid and violence wasn't necessarily.
here is the problem.....the word escalation......if someone swings on you.....they have poven they cant control themselves and anyone who cant control themselves is capable of anything so there really is no escalation form there.......you dont know their intention and even if they just want to show how tough they are they could still serious injure or kill you even if not the intention....im not canadian but american so not sure over there....but laws are not made for self defense or even the right thing but they are there to simply have these situations avoided and they dont really care if you individually get hurt because it is considered best for society if laws are like this.....but if you do happen to have video or witnesses in that situation if people back your story its a bit different
Lol even in his street fight stories he’s so respectful

😂😂
HAHAHA
Me:"Hi Firas!"
Firas' mind: *gonna punch this dude in the face*
😂😂😂
MrSnippety gotta*
Firas reads your comment
Fira's mind: This dude didn't get a single word of what I've just said.
Whenever you see a drunk guy on a street, first ask “Are you intoxicated?”
Why
Conceive believe archive
me after training for years "I dare someone try to mess with me"
me while injured from training "Damn i hope nobody fuck with me"
This is so real man
He probably just had a picture of GSP getting probed by an alien on his phone.
Yooo what
Firas "The Troublemaker" Zahabi
Supposedly, even an arrest in Canada could affect your entry into the United States.
You don't necessarily have to be convicted of a crime.
Firas,
Thank you for your wisdom and knowledge. I first learned about you from JRE and that podcast you did with him changed my life for the BETTER!! Specially your philosophy on "consistency over intensity" with regards to exercise and training.
I’m no lawyer but my understanding is that you are subject to the laws of the state/country you are in at the time as well you are entitled to the same rights/freedoms as a citizen of said country. Firas you the man! Bless
"hey, look. This is me and GSP at the -"
*KAPOW* !!
Potts
Look up Gene Kim
Coach, maybe he wanted to show you pictures of his first BJJ tournament ? lol
😂
He's been in too many streetfights to be "avoiding violence at all cost".
something tells me hes a bit of an instigator. on joe rogans podcast he mentioned that a guy honked and yelled at him for taking an "illegal" left turn, then zahabi opened his door and offered to street fight but the guy didnt want to fight
@@ir4355 He says it himself in this video. He chose to walk away out of fear of legal repercussions but his instinct was to punch the guy. Even though the guy was clearly not a threat since nothing came of the "confrontation".
@@ir4355 Thats how things go,if you talk shit that means you want to fight.
@@hh-nk8mu nah dude , you are clearly deluded if that's waht you think.
Not really, especially if you're a 'ufc guy' & are targeted by idiots all the time.
Hey Firas! Look I just bought my TimTam last week.. WHAM!!
One leg kick usually does it . Most people get the point after that .
Did it to a bully when i was in secondary school. Nothing happened then he casually pushed me, which thrown me 2 meters away on the ground
@@FikriKawakibi sounds like a wimpy leg kick
@@FikriKawakibi learn to kick first okay?
@@FikriKawakibi leg kicks are only scary when they demonstrate a deep knowledge of fighting.
When I was 16 and me and my homie were new to the sport he kept saying he don’t tap and I didn’t know when someone was out... I had him in a guillotine choke and all of a sudden like 3 guys pull me off and I was crying because I thought he wouldn’t wake up.
Take notes youngsters. You’re there to learn how to kill, not to kill. Show respect and never hurt your teammates.
Money Mike exactly. It’s that feeling of guilt like that’s my friend and I choked him unconscious without even knowing it. I didn’t even know he was limp because I had a really tight guard so his hand was still pushed against my forearm and I thought he was fighting it still.
This was over a decade ago though when people were always hurting each other sparring. It’s a little different now in terms of safety measures and precautions
Coach , I wish to have your patience . Good role model you are sir !
Love the stories. A true boss doesn’t need to prove that he’s a boss.
Everyone's clowning on Firas but unless you're there in person you never know the type of energy they're putting off. Sounds like the guy he's dealing with doesn't have the self awareness to know how he's coming off.
You have the same rights under law as a citizen. You still have your miranda right's.
thanks for the correction : )
In theory only.
@@Tentacl Its 'In theory' in regards to American citizens aswell... Whats your point?
@@pictishbynature1522 My point is, even in public speech USA representatives always state killing enormous numbers of foreigners to "protect american lives" is the foreign relations position USA take. Why the HECK would I believe your judiciary system would treat foreigners like they treat locals? Your country even have a known torture facility for non convicted "enemies" in Guantanamo.
Maybe same rights, but not the same consequences. A citizen doesn’t face deportation, for one.
Firas seems like he is always causing trouble out and about 😂
Ive had 2 separate street altercations when i was 18 and 22, in which both times i was bloodied and i initiated a takedown. First time i got a rearnaked and the 2nd time i got kind of a shitty neck crank. Both times they tapped on my arm. I threatened them not to harm me and pushed them off. Both times the fight ended there. Both times i did have a crowd and i remember being terrified of being stopped out by people standing around. Ive been very lucky, but people can be surprised how well submissions work in real fights without having to sleep them.
Plenty of times I've put people in subs and as soon as I let go the fight continues, you must have gotten lucky .
2:55 Thank you for stressing that striking is superior to grappling versus multiple assailants. The Gracies (namely Rener) cannot even concede that much and laughably - and disingenuously - claim that both striking arts and BJJ are equally ineffective against multiple assailants.
Funny thing last time I actually punched/fought a guy was 15 years back with 16 years just before I started training Martial Arts. I too would only do it as a last resort. But I honestly think that the confidence you gain in confrontations and the way that you behave by doing practising makes the other guys think twice if they want to go for it.
What if the guy wanted to show him a picture of himself and Zahabi
Yes you do have the rights to remain silent that for anyone in the USA even if you’re not a citizen.
'I don't know if he was CRAZEE IN 'iS 'ED OR SUMFIIINNG' haha
Even though you were just visiting the United States if u are on American soil u are afforded all the rights an American citizen has.
L O L
Maybe if you are white skinned...
Joseph C Simmer down Childish Gambino. This guy’s a gentleman. He would talk to the cops like a civilized human being and be treated accordingly. He wouldn’t act all squirmy and hit em with that yo yo dis sum bullshit man nah I’m saying. Check yourselves.
@@cityguyable I remember trying to reason with an officer. My face healed quickly enough
Shea Doherty My point entirely. Only children think they can reason with a cop. They’re robots. You reason with a judge and a jury. Don’t try to reason with an attack dog. Just try not to provoke it.
Awesome story, Firas. Also, look out for Ocular fixation. You think the person in the RNC is not unconscious, and it appears to the casual observer that they are not unconscious because their eyes are wide open. However, the person in the RNC is really asleep and not getting oxygen to the brain.
I just realized that I'm using the new Tim Tam Pro while watching this.. kinda funny. Best part is I can still hear the damn TV over the sound of this thing.. unlike the previous model haha
In Scotland if a drunk guys ask you to look at his phone you look at his phone and have a bit of banter. You lot need to chill out and trust in your fellow man.
no one:
Zahabi: So when I choked the guy out
Just quick FYI:
1) Miranda applies to non-citizens as well
2) You only get read your Miranda rights if you are being asked a question wherein your answer may incriminate yourself. Not everyone under arrest gets read their rights nor do they have to. It’s only if your going to be asked specific types of questions.
1:15 coach zahabi remembering that double jacket
Lmao he's reminiscent of an Italian mobster from the 50's
I thought it was going to be Rener Gracie making this video, whom is great at teaching Jiujitsu but not so great at teaching self defense.
But as soon I saw it is from Firas I was like yes that real shit.
116-0 in the streets

Miranda rights are present for "individuals" not "citizens". So to your point - in the US every individual has the rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights.
Could have been a mentally ill individual. I once responded as a lifeguard to a “intoxicated” individual person in the bathroom. Totally seemed drunk and incoherent. Unable to move well. I took him to the first aid area and was prepared to call 911 because this individual was falling over and needed to be escorted. Then another older lifeguard told me he had mental issues and we later found out he was either calorie deficient or dehydrated (i can’t remember, was a while ago) i felt so bad, but later found out he is a famous rock and roll songwriter! I got to know him more and we danced to some music a little while he waited for his dad 😊
Even tho you were not joking... but coach i believe you can do a stand up comedy set... You tell a story on a punchline mode already, and was kinda funny not gonna lie. Happy holidays by the way.
Firas, you absolutely do have all the same rights under our constitution that any citizen in our country would. Any person on US territory has Miranda rights, the right to an attorney, etc. regardless of citizenship. However, you could be barred from coming back in the future depending on the circumstances like you said.
Mason Sandner thanks for the info I didn’t know that!
If somebody keeps following me I will just start recording it, if it continues and I have the feeling that it won’t stop any time soon, I will set up the camera and just defend myself
I’m including myself in this group. But anyone who says they “avoid street fights at all cost,” is secretly itching for a fight to erupt. People who ACTUALLY avoid street fights at all cost will not mention the word “fight” to describe anything in their day to day life.
I'm very well stoned man you can't say he was stoned cmon now
It's a little funny you can tell Firas has no experience with drugs as he was only able to assume drunk or stoned, but people nowadays are on so many different types of pills who knows what kinda stuff that guy was on, but probably not weed though
Ikr he was drunk, cmon
Shut up were you the guy in the story? Who cares if you smoke weed.
I know plenty of dumb morons who smoke blunts and smell like shit and start fights. Nothing new
dont get so defensive. the point was he was on something. a combination of booze and marijuana you can for sure act like an aggressive fuck wit.
These fighters always who tell you not to get into fights unless unavoidable somehow always get into "unavoidable" fights.
In a street fight there are no opponents, there are only assailants.
Firas: In a street fight there are no opponents, there are only assassins.
holy moly does he meander here while telling some simple stories and making simple points D:
Most idiots will either sucker punch, or panic when you punch them and tackle you. And when you're above concrete those can kill you. I had a drunk guy bullrush me outside a bar and I side kicked him in the stomach. It hurt my left hip/leg joint for weeks, but I'm sure he got the worst of it
"Hey man, check out my phone".. Nah, sorry. I think I'm gonna crack you with a right hand.. lol wtf. 😂

I think the story could be a bit shorter.
Lol this video is hilarious on so many levels
Judo is the best grappling for street fighting :)
I don't want to speak for Firas but if I understand how he thinks correctly, he would probably say it depends on the situation. If you're sat down and someone initiates an attack, like it happened to Ryan Hall in a restaurant (video available on YT), your judo is unusable. It depends on the situation, like everything.
For real. Along with kicks to the balls and eye pokes :)
@Beaujangles McJiggle Judo has good groundwork. But it's limited. You have 10 seconds to get something and then another 10-20 to work it. So in judo, most of the time when someone gets into a good defensive position it's just not worth the effort. But when ground work is attempted, it means the attacker has to explosively get into it and get something fast, which is good in a self defence situation where you don't want to be on the ground too long. As far as self defense application goes, Judo ground game is practical and realistic. In judo, the purpose of the ground game is for when the throw doesn't work and then it's a back up, and a defense if you end up on the ground with them. the ippon (winning throw) is supposed to mimic a throw which, if it didn't happen on the matt, would severly incapacitate the other person.
@Trail Blazer Yes Wrestling is the most effiecient way to get someone to the ground. Judo isn't about that, it's about getting them to the ground hard.
Freestyle wrestling and BJJ with BJJ on top. Judo doesn't allow for shots and requires the person to have a jacket and loose pants. But Judo is a definite third and by no means is slouch of a sport. I've learned to appreciate watching it though it's pretty dope
Absolte respect for you sir.
If you're carrying, draw your weapon and proceed to retreat. If the guy follows you then you fire, and lay him down. Brute force rules apply....I'm not fighting a guy in the street, he may be a better fighter than me. If he gets the upper hand he may have the chance to kill me with his bare hands or with my own weapon. Therefore, avoid conflict and be prepared to shoot. Keep a good lawyer on standby.
all he ask was for him to look at his phone lmao. you are a joke
That's how people get got by stickup kids. They either ask you for the time, or try to show you something to distract you, and half a sec later, your freedom and everything you own is now essentially theirs.
With all due respect, why didn’t you just look at the phone?
I'd not look at someone s phone if they are so insistent
Don't demand what you can't take by force
So I didn't understand exactly what you were saying about when you should and shouldn't choke someone out in a street fight. You said only use it in a life-or-death situation, yet you used it against a guy when you were outnumbering him?
Kalernor have you not ever heard of disclaimers? People have to say don’t do retarded shit because people do retarded shit and blame people who have nothing to do with said shit...
Kalernor because he is doing self reflection and realized that he shouldn’t have done it. It’s called learning and doing better.
You do have Miranda rights even as a non citizen.
I think this was in Canada, so Miranda doesn’t apply.
@@DarcyCarmen He said it was in the US
@@DarcyCarmen we have Miranda rights in Canada (we don't use that exact term as much though)
Miranda doesn’t mean anything lol every developed country has the same rights for prisoners, whether a citizen or not
if your an elite striker and you can take out an opponent very fast why grapple?
I got attacked by a drunk dude,I kept my distance with a kick,and run away.glad i survived or didn't got beat up cause I wasn't speaking German.
Great 👍🏼 stories - non-citizens have Miranda rights in the US - I would have just peeked at his phone 😂. But watch for the attack at the same time.
Growing up in South Florida I wish I knew to walk away but I also never back down, I also have no formal skills...just street fights etc it's amazing how as much as I avoid situations, they come to me...but when I impose my will visually first...%99 nothing happens because people seeing I'm not an easy target. My instinct is to protect etc I really wish I knew the skills a trained fighter processes. I would have more discipline etc. When most people see I'm not what I look on the outside and they look in my eyes, nothing happens...only once I was backed by my neighbor on our front balcony n he threatened to throw me off and i swear my instinct and God took over with two hooks and two uppercuts and I didn't hit em after hit he the ground. I've been jumped a few times but nothing but punching to the back of my head. 6-1....I got up and asked for 1-1 and got the same treatment. Our world has changed so much as far as respect for elders, others, and each other. When I go out I know it's a jungle out there. I just know basic boxing and it's got me far enough but it's a wild world man. Appreciate the advice and everything you advise in these situations.
Ok…
Is standard half guard a better option for that situation? Maybe to get to an undertook and dog fight position or a half guard sweep possibly?
I was trying to show tippy a picture of us from UFC 163!😆
I met you there jack ass!
I have heard from my coaches in the past that Matt Serra is a super nice guy and just fun to be around. Why is it always some drunk fool pushing their luck?!
Guests have all the rights as anyone else except to keep and bear arms, but of course it would be best to avoid getting into any type of confrontation with a drunk in a foreign country.
I hate drunk people but it’s usually easy to go unnoticed with them if you don’t interact with them at all
If you are in the country legally, you have the same rights. Miranda included.
I'm street self defense,
I'm in the sticks... We have Winchester-jitsu... bring it.
I disagree, avoid conflict but if it finds you make them unconscious.
Not one story was finished in this video like WTF dude, concentrate....what happened with first story about the guy who stood up after being choked up, what happened with the Matt Serra video...
You have Miranda rights regardless of whether you are a citizen.
I actually disagree with chokes only being used in life or death. Carotid restraints do not kill people if used correctly. That's why they're legal in every division in BJJ, judo, other grappling.
eamonob84 yes, but they all also have a referee here in the matches. And in gyms you’ve obviously got the coaches and other students who will stop you from holding a choke too long
eamonob84 if you hold it for to long, you can kill them
the way to fight is turn on ur phone and make them throw the first punch so you can beat the fuck outta them and then use the video as proof of self defense
Why can't u just look at his phone faras, just a look?!
You do sound like a trouble maker. I could not even imagine getting into so many streetfights in one lifetime (unwillingly)
Mutsu try looking like him and you’ll no
You must live somewhere nice
but jiu jitsu professor says canada has no self defense rules lmao
The best and safest way to not get injured in a street fight is to be smart enough and aware enough to never get in one. You could be the best fighter in the world but a guy with a knife or 2 or 3 guys jumping on you and you are a goner
Does Firas have a podcast ?
It's called cross faded coach
where is the website where you can buy all type of leagal self deffence wepond
I understand what you are saying about tactics. My problem though is that you thought your opponent was choked out and you just left him there. Ever notice that some people who are choked out die from it? In my opinion you needed to keep watching and perhaps resuscitate your opponent.
James Dotson no they typically come back fine
@@kevintse2870 Usually true but sometimes not. Remember Eric Gardner? Kodokan teaches resuscitation--not mouth to mouth. It works and I've used it in real life. Guys like you and police should know it in my opinion.
Every fight is life or death unless it is against a little old lady.
Back when I was in high school (secondary School for all my Euro friends.) I had wrestled a year prior, won a few amateur Golden gloves/IKF tournaments and was on a date with a girl at the movies. Some boys were standing around together pointing and making gestures at her (she was smoking hot to be fair.) So I gavee them a stern look and I thought that was the end of that. Half way through the movie I got up to go to the restroom. Long behold Johnny jackass and his band of low life were their. They harassed me with questions like "is she tight?" "How much did she let you do?" So I just told them to please leave me alone in a scared and timing tone. Realizing they weren't going to leave me alone I abandoned the bathroom and heading for the concession stand. (An altercation is much better handled in a public place.) They interpreted this as me trying to flee and called me a pussy and said they'd take my girl. Then one of them pushed me and I front kicked him in the chest. I told him to stay down. He sprang back up swinging a switch blade comb at me so I rolled once and gave him a left straight from hell. I got my gf and told her we have to go. Then I got to school that Monday and got expelled from school!
"Was on a date with a girl at the movies", then you later called her your girlfriend? And how would your school even find out? This makes no sense.
I bet it was prophet muscle in california lol
bro if someone is a fan and wants to show u something. Don't ignore them and walk away like they are some bad omen or odor. Just respond like a man and say "Sorry man. I got to rush somewhere." I'm sure he wouldn't have been that upset instead of just ignoring. you're kind of a c rated celebrity now. so you can't be like im going to ignore you like ur some homeless person and knock u out if u don't listen
Firas didn’t ignore. He said he was sorry but he didn’t want to look at the guys phone and walked off. That’s not ignoring. That’s politely declining.
@@bradengedda9870 that's not politely declining. That's politely saying fuck off I'm not interested.
Why does Firas have to entertain this guy? He said "have a nice day sir" and walked off. That is more than this guy was entitled to.

Sanda vs Muay thai.. whats better for mma?
@I'm Mikey Problem with MT not just little emphasis on boxing but the real problem is their zero head movement so they don't get head kicked or kneed in MT fights. Plus that discipline don't believe in i'll hit you and you won't hit me. Still a great martial art though.
Depends, what's closest to you? If u can either go to a boxing gym or an MMA gym with a great boxing coach. MT in it's traditional form is not very good for MMA. And Sanda from a high level team/coach is hard to find. (At least for me it was.)
@I'm Mikey there's 'dutch' kickboxing, there's 'american' kickboxing. If you don't like muay thai, you're into the 'american' one...
Sanda: biggest scores are from takedown and pushing opponent out of arena. If you're a ground fighter, it complements your style well. If you like to win by decision, it gives you more cage control
Muay thai: takedown is allowed but doesn't count as score. If you achieved gold medal in all grappling sports, and want to focus on your striking, it's your best deal
@@treroney4720 muay thai is the most accessible in america, sanda in eastern europe and asia
At the end of the day you choke somebody out you could kill them, then you're up for murder charges. You armbar them and then what? You going to snap their arm? That is not a reasonable response to a fist fight and no court is going to rule in your favor if you do it. So guy calls your bluff from your armbar, now what? Try the 60 second hold and hope he calms down? Doesn't always work and sometimes just pisses them right the fuck off. At the end of the day you can put somebody in a locks all day and its a simple threat analysis, you pose no threat without becoming the aggressor and being charged
False soon as is fight is no lawful self defence.Best self defence is evade and prevent, using martial art techniques will not be seen as self defence especially trapping tripping and striking. Will still be unlawful.
