A BESTSELLER IN THE NEW YORK TIMES
Georges “Rush” St. Pierre, the world’s most popular UFC fighter, presents a strikingly honest depiction of a fighter’s path, underlining the lessons that powered his climb from bullying victim to internationally famous athlete and champion.
Winning fights requires more than just fists and feet.
The biggest advantage for world-renowned professional fighter Georges St-Pierre is not physical strength or athleticism, but a feeling of purpose. From his days as a small, mercilessly bullied child discovering karate to his years as a struggling garbage collector who spent all of his free time in the gym, his hard-fought rise in the sport of mixed martial arts, and his long, painful recovery from a career-threatening injury, Georges never lost sight of his goal of becoming the greatest martial artist of all time. In The Way of the Fight, Georges discloses for the first time what drove him not just to become a champion, but also to see hurdles as opportunities to grow as a person.
The Way of the Fight is an inspiring insight into a master’s thinking. To Georges, life is all about competition, and there is no better metaphor for competitiveness than the life of a boxer. He describes the importance of discipline, danger, and even fear with the insight of someone who understands that nothing is certain—his next battle may be his last. The Means of the Fight is a compelling, life-changing guide to living with purpose and discovering the way to fulfill your loftiest ambitions, drawing inspiration from combat legends, Eastern philosophy, and a trusted inner circle.
Given his retirement yesterday (12/13/13), this is a fitting posting.

Georges’ narrative is intertwined with surprising insights from those closest to him: his mother, who recalls his desire to learn new skills even as a youngster. His mentor, Kristof Midoux, described him as a young fighter with a strong sense of discipline. John Danaher, his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, watched the emergence of an unbreakable work ethic. Firas Zahabi, the champion’s coach, who helped him through a possibly career-ending injury. Rodolphe Beaulieu, his lifelong buddy, training partner, and manager, may understand this extremely focused athlete better than anybody.
