About this ebook

The renowned UFC fighter tells his remarkable life story from bullied kid to world champion in this New York Times–bestselling memoir.

For mixed martial arts fighter Georges St-Pierre, the greatest asset is not physical strength or athleticism—it’s a sense of purpose. From his beginnings as a small, mercilessly bullied child first discovering karate to his years as a struggling garbage collector who spent all 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 ambition to become the greatest martial artist of all time. In The Way of the Fight, Georges reveals what propelled him not only to become a champion but to embrace obstacles as opportunities to build character.

The Way of the Fight is an inspirational look into the mindset of a master. To Georges, all life is competition, and there’s no more perfect metaphor for competition than the life of a fighter. He explains the value of discipline, risk and even fear, with the wisdom of one who knows that his next fight could always be his last. Drawing inspiration from fighting legends, Eastern philosophy and a trusted inner circle, The Way of the Fight is a powerful, life-changing guide to living with purpose.

Ratings and reviews

Okay..I might be partial with this as GSP is my all favourite fighter and role model. But that does not change the fact that this is such a well written book and only a guy who has been there and done that can write this. GSP'S entire journey and the insights of his life and tough childhood have been provided in this book. He has shed blood in that cage and felt fear before his fights but most of all he overcame his fears to become arguably the greatest mixed martial artist of all time. What an insipirational book from truly an inspirational figure. Needless to say, this is a must read for any true GSP or even a mixed martial arts fan.

It was a good book. It had a bunch of life lessons and takes a look at how he became what he is today. It was a little jumbled but this guy gets hit for a living so u can't expect it to be written by a author

opened. not repeating part I like. I have practiced martial Arts since 4. unofficially. bullying from family members. I like the way you state present as not to be labeled. in colorado. I'm not sure about confusiois. I also paint for pastime. Will buy book when I get employed again.
