Timeline
Firas Zahabi (born 5 February 1980) is a Canadian martial artist who is the owner and head coach at Tristar Gym.
Zahabi was born on 5 February 1980, in Quebec, Canada.
His parents were Lebanese Immigrants.
Growing up, Zahabi and his brothers were mainly interested in American football.
It wasn't until 1998 when Zahabi turned 18, that he was exposed to martial arts.
Zahabi became interested in martial arts after watching UFC 2 where Royce Gracie defeated all his opponents using Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ).
Zahabi attended Concordia University where he graduated with a degree in philosophy with a specialization in the Ancient Greeks.
In 2000, Zahabi joined Tristar Gym where he trained in BJJ and Muay Thai.
After just six months, Zahabi earned a Blue Belt in BJJ and became a part time coach at the gym.
A few years later, Zahabi met John Danaher and would frequently make trips to Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City to train with him.
In 2007, Conrad Pla the owner of Tristar Gym became too busy to run the gym so he handed it over to Zahabi to run.
In 2008, the gym was sold to Zahabi and he became the new owner.
Zahabi has since then trained many different fighters under Tristar Gym.
His coaching style is focused on technique in a very controlled manner.
Fighters will not go all-out during training sessions as he considers it not an effective way to train as recovery is considered important.
Zahabi's most notable student is Georges St-Pierre.The two of them met when they were amateur fighters.
After becoming champion, Zahabi decided to become a coach to St-Pierre.
After UFC 69 where St-Pierre lost the UFC Welterweight title to Matt Serra, Zahabi became St-Pierre's main coach for the rest of his career.
In April 2021, Zahabi was involved in an incident involving the Montreal Police.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the police would regularly visit Tristar Gym to verify it was conforming to public health regulations.
After sixteen visits in the past year, on 9 April, Zahabi refused to allow the police to come in for the third time on that day.
As a result, the police waited outside the gym for hours until the issue was eventually resolved between the two parties.
In 2011, Zahabi received his Black Belt in BJJ from Danaher himself.
Because Zahabi was studying at University, he was not able to compete extensively.
Nonetheless, he became a Canadian Amateur Muay Thai Champion and also won a few provincial-level grappling competitions.
He also fought in some amateur unregulated mixed martial arts bouts.
The organization where Zahabi became champion was called Full-Contact Jiu-Jitsu.
Zahabi and UFC hall of famer Stephan Bonnar provided the commentary for all Titan FC events broadcast by CBS Sports in 2014.
Zahabi was the MMA coach on The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck, of the UFC‐produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter.
Zahabi is the older brother of UFC bantamweight fighter Aiemann Zahabi.
Zahabi is married to Melissa Gendron who he met during university.
They have three children which include two sons and one daughter.
Zahabi is a Muslim and has talked on podcasts about Islamic philosophy and polemics.
Zahabi has been criticised for the fact that he refuses to train with women in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
