The 80/20 rule - Train BJJ effectively without wasting time - Coach Firas Zahabi

Coach Zahabi gives advice on how to effectively train in order to gain the most out of your training applying the pareto principle to your routines.

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

Coach, love your content. Just found your podcast yesterday and I have already gained so much knowledge. Thank you for your philosophy thought experiments, book recommendations and fighting style recommendations for the street. I’m a BJJ blue belt but now I’m going to add in Muay Thai and wrestling into my week. Your review of the 7 habits was very interesting and inspiring. Im a dad of 2 and that 7th habit is a tough one for sure, albeit very important. Keep sharing your knowledge on the channel. Thanks and OSS!

More gems from coach Firas. 100% true. I never get enough drill. Running around the mat for warm up when I could be drilling to warm up is such a better use of my time! Keep up the good work coach!

Assalamualaikum, brother Firas what you do is you debunk the myth of training unnecessarily equal to good training. You can make your own system this way, you revolutionized the whole concept. This is very interesting. Regards from Indonesia.

Would love to see a video where you cover the most common things you see as "junk training" in each discipline

[matthess]

Would love a video talking about your travels in Thailand and your training / experiences there!

Why is it so hard to convince our coaches to stop these long workout sessions with tons of abs and pushup workouts instead of practicing techniques? 😕

[hailberseker]

last year i was in a club where they were doing 0 warm up / stretching, lot of beginners especialy were getting injuries, they make beginner go hard in sparring when they don't even know how to keep a guard and protect themselves without carin if they have head gear or mouth piece, even when i was going light on them i knock them down because they just run in every shot i throw, it was terrible, people are lucky to find a good club like yours

I agree. You can even improve your bjj a lot through warming up if you warm up with tech - training

[patryka]

You are absolutely GREAT !!! Exactly now I am training under great, great instructor and everything is great, his technic is great, the way he teaches is great and I hate the warm ups !!! It is looks like it is mixed MA school with fitness gym. I want to be tired by doing technic no by doing push ups or press ups. Last Monday was 40 minutes warm up like tabata and this shit.

so what is your 80/20 rule for boxing/muaythai? I'd like to know what the most important training aspects of this disciplines are :)

[reesetheredcain]

I do 2 sessions a day Monday to Wednesday, run Thursday, 1 session friday and 1 Saturday, Tuesday night Thursday night and Saturday are always conditioning and the rest of the sessions are usually a mixture of technique and conditioning or straight up sparring and I feel very fit and strong when it comes to a bout (boxing)

[toomuchtruth]

The problem is finding a school that follows the 80 - 2- rule & cuts on the fat.
