Step 2, position oneself as the hero, rescuing martial arts from this evil, threatening undesirable. The McDojo. Name them Firas.... no he doesn't give any specific. Doesn\t want to say.
Step 3, indirectly describe yourself as the HERO... here align with another MMA designated HERO, (aka John Danaher who is legit). After all, Firas has so, so many students come to him from (these) other schools. Soo, sooo many.
Result, people listen to this video then come to think,,, WOW,! that Firas guy is leading us, saving us. Gotta go to Tristar.
What Firas doesn't tell you. Hard Sparring is a double edged sword.

Just listen to Firas say how it's important to go full bore w BJJ; then end on how gentle the art is. Who else was famous for talking out of both sides of their mouth?
Did a lot of damage.
