Great watch!
I always enjoy listening to what Firas Zahabi has to say about jiu-jitsu/grappling and MMA. Probably one of the brightest and most open-minded figure in the MMA landscape right now.
So thanks a lot for the post Aiseop!

Thanks for the post. Agree. Firas's Tristar YouTube channel is prob my fav at the moment.

I've said it before, but there's a few people in jiu-jitsu who need to write a book. (Not a technique book but one something like Sheridan's A Fighter's Heart). Eddie obviously, Renzo, John Danaher, Marcelo, the Miyaos (just kidding), and Firas.

Yup, agree on all counts.
Personnally, I would also add JJ Machado (living legend!!!) and Ryan Hall and Eddie Cummings, 2 very cerebral and articulate jiu-jitsu players who can be controversial at times (being strongly opinionated) but are always interesting to listen to.
