A system that works for one person won't be perfect for another... Individuality is a major part of expanding knowledge.

One of the lessons I learned in all those years practicing karate is that progress only comes in small incremental portions.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
Before each one of my fights, I make a point of saluting my opponent. I salute the other fighter out of respect, even though he is trying to take something from me.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I'm training all the time. My goal is perfection. But I will never reach perfection.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
People have mistaken my break, I took a break from competition, it was because of mental problems, and because I was not agreeing with Performance Enhancing Drugs. I put the things on pause for a while, but I didn't retire.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I try to protect my loved ones, the people I share my life with, because they don't have a public life like me. I want to keep their lives private out of respect for them.

The only way forward in life is innovation.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I don't want to be an exception, because I was very outspoken about Performance Enhancing Drugs. It would be bad for my reputation if I would have an exemption [for doping test] - I don't want to have a free pass, I want to be like everybody else.

I think it makes your stronger to admit that you're scared, because you're not scared to say that you're scared.

Innovation, born from true creativity, depends on movement.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I will never blame a fighter if he doesn't fight me because he takes care of his own interest first, and prioritize the interests of his family first, that's completely normal.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I'm the kind of guy who only makes a mistake once, never twice.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I've trained myself to fight an army, so one guy will not defeat me.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I see the world as a knowledge hardware story, and every day I'm just walking through the aisles.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
I will never take the fact that I am Welterweight Champion for granted. I learnt my mistake in the past. No matter how great, no matter how people tell me how great I am, I'm always one mistake away from losing everything.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
If you want to be a proud person, then you want to avenge your loss. For me it was [Josean] Serra and [Joe] Hughes, and for Michael Bisping, Henderson is one of his losses - one of his most painful losses. So I understand why he wants to avenge it. As an athlete I understand.

Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
Watching myself fight, I realize the line between success and failure is so narrow, it's scary.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
People often say, 'Ah, ultimate fighting is so violent,' but it's rooted in martial arts. Martial arts incarnate respect. You can't walk into a dojo and say to your sensei, 'Hey, salut tabarnac!' After every one of my fights I go and shake the hand of my opponent. I don't need to hate the other fighter to fight him well. It's a sport.

If you prepare your subconscious for highly stressful situations, you can create harmony with your fears. You can tame fear like a wild animal and use it to your advantage.

To fight a bigger guy you need to train with bigger guys and it takes a lot more on your body. And it's not your weight class.
