Athlete Profile: Georges St-Pierre

I thought I'd share these videos on mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Georges St-Pierre. The raw speed and power he possesses is incredible. To be able to maintain a competitive edge, he incorporates numerous training techniques. Yes, resistance training is a staple of power and strength development, however no one specific form of training is 'perfect' when it comes to a widely varied sport such as MMA. Additional training techniques from gymnastics and boxing are of focus throughout this video.




This secondary video demonstrates Georges immensely devastating punches and kicks and provides an insight into his anaerobic threshold, offering comparison to other competitors.
