Martial Arts is not just a sport it is a way of life for many. Watch us in our first interview with Master Zakir Abbas , a purple belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu master with multiple golds not only in #Karachi, provincial and national but international events as well. In a pretty short fighting career he has achieved numerous laurels and then took on the role of being a coach and that too with perfection. Under his coaching are now over 7 blue belt students carrying the torch of victory and a pro MMA fighter Jamal Abbas with a perfect 4-0 win streak. Having accomplished so much in such little time portrays the dedication and devotion he carries for the game. See us talk about the current status of martial arts in #Pakistan , the flaws in our system and the future of this sport not only locally but internationally. We get to speaking about the current status of MMA in Pakistan, the hurdles he faced in his journey, along with his views on the foreseeable future of the game in Pakistan. #checkmat #BJJ #MMA #Martialarts #SongsofOurselves #PodcastPakistan FOLLOW Checkmat Karachi's youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEUmtkFuq9sq1uofJSSjhFQ Instagram Links: https://www.instagram.com/zakir_abbas90 https://www.instagram.com/checkmat.karachi/ Be a part of the community by connecting with the hosts: MUSAIB: https://www.instagram.com/musaib.razzaqui ABDUL RAHIM: https://www.instagram.com/rahim.mughal99 Any complaints/queries/suggestions are always welcome at DMs or you can mail us at: songsofourselves1@gmail.com DON'T FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!
