Commands & Signals Striking System Vol. 1

Strike faster, hold pads like a pro, and train at a pace verbal commands can't match. The Commands & Signals Striking System (CSS) is Coach Firas Zahabi's partner-based striking curriculum, with certification available.

• 👀 Train at signal speed: clear visual and physical signals replace slow verbal commands, so you react faster and more naturally
• 🧠 Build real fight IQ: read body language, stay connected and flow from drill to drill
• 🏆 Tristar-tested: drills and patterns Coach Zahabi has developed over 25+ years with world-class athletes

Who it's for

Strikers, MMA fighters and training partners of every level, plus coaches and gym owners who want a proven, structured pad system to teach.

Why CSS is different

You don't just learn combos. Because CSS is a partner-based system, you're constantly learning to attack, to feed, to read each other's movement and to stay connected through non-verbal cues. That creates a dynamic, realistic, high-level striking environment that solo drills and traditional pad work can't match.
