Jiu Jitsu Coach: Why Football Is Useless For Your Child's Confidence

In this episode, I sit down with Coach Amin Touati, a Jiu-Jitsu black belt and master focused on building character and mental resilience. He's one of the most honest and grounded coaches you'll meet, having been raised with a strict parenting style that he now sees as a gift. We talk about the one reason most parents are raising a "soft" generation and why team sports like football are useless when it comes to building real confidence. We also talk about the male ego and why it's the biggest barrier for men and boys, and the powerful lesson he learned from earning a Sega as a child. You don’t want to miss this one. ____________________________ 🕔 Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 01:50 - Amin Touati's Martial Arts Journey 04:30 - The Philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu 06:10 - Why Kids Need Martial Arts 11:21 - What to Do When Your Child Wants to Quit 13:37 - The Levels of Parental Involvement 18:20 - Lessons from a Strict Father 22:11 - Raising Resilient Children 25:37 - Why Boys Always Fight 29:11 - The Best Age to Start Jiu-Jitsu 33:25 - Advice from a Master 34:45 - The Jiu-Jitsu Belt System Explained 36:45 - Why Girls Should Train 37:25 - Inside Antara Jiu-Jitsu Academy 41:38 - How to Strike a Balance in Parenting 44:00 - Why Kids Don't Appreciate What They Have 49:00 - The "Snowflake" Mentality 53:10 - A Final Piece of Advice 55:11 - A Lasting Message to My Children ____________________________ 📲 Where to find Amin Touati https://www.instagram.com/amintouatijj https://www.instagram.com/antarajj/ https://antarajj.com/ ____________________________ 📳 Follow Us on Socials https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.ae/ https://www.instagram.com/mghanch/ https://www.tiktok.com/@raisinghumans.ae ____________________________ Hashtags #JiuJitsu #MartialArts #ParentingPodcast #ParentingAdvice #Fatherhood #ToughLove #RaisingBoys #SnowflakeGeneration #LifeInDubai #ExpatLifeUAE #BJJ #BrazilianJiuJitsu #Grit #Mindset #Discipline #CharacterBuilding #JiuJitsuCoach #AminTouati #AntaraJiuJitsu #KidsAndSports #ConfidenceBuilding #MaleEgo #ParentingInDubai #PersonalGrowthPodcast #PodcastInterview #MuslimVoices #Resilience #ParentingSkills #MenAndFaith #FatherhoodMatters Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@Raising.Humans Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.1/

You Say You’ll Do It “One Day” - But We Both Know You Won’t I EMKWAN

In this episode, I sit down with EMKWAN. He started small, quietly working behind the scenes for years. Today, he has a global following and over 500 million views but he’s still one of the most grounded people you’ll meet. We talk about how losing his younger brother gave him the push to leave a safe job and finally bet on himself, how social media started to affect his family life without him realising and what every parent needs to know about the dangers and opportunities of AI and the online world their children are growing up in.

The Islamic Parenting Rule Every Parent Should Know

He found Islam at 14. Moved to the UAE at 17. Raised six kids along the way. In this episode, I sit down with Ismail Bullock. He left behind everything he knew in the UK after he reverted to Islam to build a life in the UAE. We talk about the different stages of raising your children: when to guide, when to teach, and when to simply be their friend. And at the heart of it all is a message from the Qur’an: save yourselves, and your families. It’s not easy. But it’s your duty. And it starts with who you are when no one’s watching. ____________________________ 🕔 Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 00:39 - Who are you 02:22 - Childhood 05:10 - Lessons from parents (potentially removed) 06:52 - Fathers parenting style 09:26 - Ismaels journey to Islam 23:36 - Where did you learn about Islam? 24:47 - Moving to the UAE 28:22 - Life in the UAE 33:!2 - Fatherhood 36:19 - What values did you want to pass down to your kids 37:15 - Are you a strict father 45:41 - How did being a father change your perspective on life 53:44 - What message would you give to new parents 56:22 - Parenting when children are young adults 58:43 - Career advice for your children 1:08:45 - Closing Tradition (what advice would you give your children) ____________________________ 📲 Where to find Ismail Bullock https://www.instagram.com/bullockismail/ https://www.youtube.com/@IsmailBullock ____________________________ 📳 Follow Us on Socials https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.ae/ https://www.instagram.com/mghanch/ https://www.tiktok.com/@raisinghumans.ae ___________________________ Hashtags #RaisingHumansPodcast #MuslimPodcast #ParentingPodcast #IslamicPodcast #YouTubePodcast #BritishPodcast #PodcastInterview #SpiritualJourney #FaithBasedPodcast #LifeStories #RevertToIslam #ConvertStory #IsmaelBullock #IslamRevertStory #BritishMuslim #RevertJourney #RevertStory #MyIslamStory #UKToUAE #RevertLife #MuslimParenting #IslamicParenting #FatherhoodInIslam #RaisingMuslimKids #RaisingChildren #DadLife #MuslimFather #BeingADad #ParentingJourney #ParentingAdvice #DadWisdom #FatherhoodMatters #IslamicReminders #LifeAsAMuslim #Dawah #IslamicWisdom #QuranAndSunnah #IslamicLessons #MuslimFaith #IslamInTheWest #Hijrah #UAEIslam #PractisingIslam #BritishMuslim #UKMuslim #MuslimInTheUK #LifeInDubai #DubaiMuslims #MuslimInUAE #HijrahJourney #ExpatLifeDubai #UKToDubai #RaisingKidsInDubai #EmotionalMaturity #SelfDiscipline #RoleModel #LeadingByExample #GrowthMindset #IslamicValues #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #BeBetter #PurposeDrivenLife #FaithAndFamily #LifeAdvice #RealConversations #TrueStories #FamilyMatters #LegacyBuilding #RaisingTheNextGeneration #ParentingRealTalk #FatherAndSon #HonestParenting #MenAndFaith #MuslimVoices #BritishVoices Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@Raising.Humans Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.1/

Why Leaving the UK Was the Best Parenting Move I Made

We explore a story that every parent needs to hear: why Omar left behind a thriving business to start over in Dubai - all for the sake of his kids.

We explore a story every parent and educator needs to hear: how a boy raised in poverty, with no plans to teach, broke the cycle and built a school empire.

We explore a truth every parent needs to hear: that Rizq (sustenance) comes with your child.

If You Don’t Shape Your Kids, The World Will - Faris Al Hammadi

In this episode, Ustadh Faris breaks down the forgotten guidance found in the Qur’an and Sunnah - not just quotes, but actual parenting principles that prepare your children for this world and the next. We talk about why Islamic values have to be taught, not assumed and why if you don’t shape your child’s character, the internet, culture, or someone else will. From stories of Prophet Luqman and Yusuf (AS), to real-life experiences from working in addiction rehab, Sheikh Faris gives raw, practical advice for any parent trying to raise children.

I Grew Up Planning Burials. Not Birthdays.

In this episode of Raising Humans, Kairo opens up about what it was really like growing up in a broken home. The challenges didn’t stop at home. By the time he was in his early twenties, Kairo had lost over a dozen friends, many to murder, others to prison. These weren’t just names. They were brothers, memories, and parts of his story. This is an episode for anyone who’s ever felt like they had to grow up too fast, and for every parent raising a child in a world that’s far from simple. ____________________________ 🕔 Timestamps 00:00 – Coming Up 00:50 – Intro 01:36 – Who Is Kairo? 02:41 – When Did You Realise You Were Creative? 06:20 – Starting an Apprenticeship 09:02 – What School Was Like 16:06 – What Does Success Mean? 22:24 – Why Family Matters 23:30 – Growing Up Without a Dad 32:45 – Your Thoughts on Death 35:57 – Losing Your Uncle 44:03 – How the Past Shaped You 46:20 – Kairo’s Thoughts on Fatherhood 55:30 – Closing Tradition ____________________________ 📲 Where to find Kairo? https://www.instagram.com/kairo.rahman/ https://www.instagram.com/innerchild.pod/ https://www.instagram.com/inomoli.agency/ https://www.instagram.com/thecreativepov/ ____________________________ 📳 Follow Us on Socials https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.ae/ https://www.instagram.com/mghanch/ https://www.tiktok.com/@raisinghumans.ae ____________________________ Hashtags #RaisingHumans #FatherlessGeneration #SingleMumStrong #AbsentFather #ChildhoodTrauma #BoysWithoutDads #LostBoys #YouthViolence #HealingFromHome #GrowingUpTooFast #GriefAndGrowth #BreakTheCycle #ParentingPodcast #MenWhoFeel #BoysNeedFathers #TalkAboutIt #VulnerableConversations #InnerChildHealing #TeachingBoys #SafeSpacesForKids Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@Raising.Humans Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/raisinghumans.1/
