YOU THINK YOU’RE A BADASS? WALK INTO THE WRONG DOJO WITH AN EGO… AND FIND OUT.

There’s a difference between being a fighter and being a fool.

Walking into another martial arts school looking to challenge the instructors or prove how tough you are isn’t courage—it’s ego.

Coach Amir Ardebily and Master Rob Kahn break down a lesson every young fighter needs to hear:

🥋 Respect the house. Respect the mat. Respect the people who have spent decades on it.

A legitimate martial arts school welcomes people who come to learn, train, and test themselves with humility.

But if you walk through the door with disrespect, arrogance, and bad intentions, remember one thing:

🔥 THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.

Come to learn—not to prove you’re the toughest person in the room.

25 YEARS LATER: THE MORNING AMERICA STOOD STILL 🇺🇸 | WE WILL NEVER FORGET 9/11

September 11, 2001 changed America—and changed me forever.

I remember driving that morning when I heard the first tower had been hit. Then the second plane struck. I pulled over in disbelief. I had experienced war before, but this was different. America was my home, and America was under attack.

As an Iranian-born American, that day brought complicated emotions—grief, fear, heartbreak, and an even deeper love for the country I call home.

But amid the unimaginable tragedy, I witnessed something I will never forget: Americans came together. Different backgrounds, races, religions and political beliefs became secondary. We mourned together. We helped one another. We stood together.

Twenty-five years later, we owe it to the generations who weren’t there to keep telling the story.

We remember the innocent lives lost at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and aboard Flight 93. We honor the first responders and ordinary Americans who demonstrated extraordinary courage.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Why Martial Arts Schools FAIL | 5 Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Academy

Being a great fighter, black belt, or instructor does not automatically make you a successful martial arts school owner. In this episode of Amir’s Podcast, I discuss five major reasons martial arts schools struggle and eventually go out of business.

From refusing to evolve, failing to understand business, and neglecting existing students—to building a cult instead of a family—these mistakes can destroy even a talented instructor’s academy.

Keep the tradition. Keep the discipline. But never stop learning and evolving.
