Firas Zahabi is considered one of the greatest mixed martial arts coaches of all time, as he has trained several UFC fighters, most notably Georges St-Pierre. The owner and head coach of Tristar Gym recently claimed that Keanu Reeves stole one of his jiu-jitsu moves in the popular film franchise 'John Wick'.
Speaking on the gym's official YouTube channel, Zahabi discussed the actor's background of being born in Beirut, Lebanon, before stating:
"I'm like jumping upside down and I'm grabbing guys and I'm rolling them over. It was a great move, it's called the web guard. I used to call it the web guard. I used to rush people punching and kicking and then whenever they would grab a hold of me - if they grabbed me with an underhook, I would jump web guard. If I grab them with an underhook, I could also do it so it didn't matter to me, which is what I loved."

"As soon as we tied up, I could get the fight to the ground... I put this move out [of] circulation, but then a man by the name of Keanu Reeves... the man actually dared to rip me off. Now, I'm used to the white man stealing from me, but if he's a fellow Lebanese, that's a problem. Now that I know he's a fellow Lebanese, I must insist that I collect from him... He jumps web guard in the movie... Long story short, Keanu, you owe me masari."
