UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre (GSP) Trains @ Tiger Muay Thai & MMA

www.tigermuaythai.com/ www.ryanjonesfilms.com/
UFC Welterweight Champion Georges "Rush" St-Pierre is one of the most recognizable faces in the UFC and is currently ranked the 3rd pound for pound best fighter. GSP recently came to Phuket, Thailand and continued his training with Master Yod at Tiger Muay Thai. Kru Yod is one of the two Tiger trainers that have repeatedly traveled to Canada, helping prepare him for his fights against Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz.

This is how GSP relaxes on vacation :D

of course :D

[@iskaykandarkar]

Wow his spinning back Kick is precise.

[@mickthebarman]

Joe rogan taught him that

[@DaddySixNine]

mickthebarman I doubt he actually "taught" him it. GSP has been doing martial arts since he was a kid, I'm sure he's used it before Joe Rogan was showing him it.

[@mickthebarman]

Good point. I guess what i should have said is joe rogan helped refine his technique on that kick.

[@DaddySixNine]

mickthebarman Yea I remember seeing the video, Rogan has some pretty powerful kicks.

[@InfamousAustinT0]

mickthebarman Rogan helped him with the spinning side kick not the spinning back kick

[@HungryLikeTheWolf70]

If your a professional fighter or amateur fighter or someone who's passionate about Martial Arts this is a place you have to go!

[@Rannbo]

i doubt this place would be quality, I bet they paid GSP so much money to come there and train. You have to go to the original, simplistic, non fancy muay thai gyms like 13 coins, sinbi muay thai, por pramuk and the list goes on.

[@Mark8D]

Rada do some research on the place and the trainers before you talk too much. Im here now, this place is great!! and just to mention, the trainer you see here and one more, have been in canada to train him too, so dont think gsp is the one getting payed

[@Rannbo]

Mark andreasen My bad bro, I should have done more research. I just went on a limb lol

[@Mark8D]

haha no problem man! have a good one

[@93Stankela]

Rada Por Pramuk ? dont be stupid and look up Buakaw and his story of Por Pramuk they are money hungry bitches !

[@trickznmix]

Honestly man, I am not a fanboy... but GSP is super legit.

[@roscoeroney4997]

the thing I love about him is almost no martial artist is this open minded to try multiple styles against world class opponents. When have you seen Damian Maia training with Thai stadium champions? Or McGregor against Olympic wrestlers? Too many pros have an "I'm an expert at this" mentality when mma can never be mastered! That's the beauty of it

[@thaixtreme]

even in the fight against condit you could see the different movement of gsp. zhis was the first time, he worked out with the thais, and he was much more light on hin feet. so yeah, he did use muay thai before. muay thai is not just about the spectacular knees and elbows, ect. in his case he adapted the thai-style movement very well and it helped him a lot in standup (if he needs to fight there^^)

[@koirrah]

Hey Ryan, great clip! Respect to GSP to think out of the box and go to train standup in the mekka of thaiboxing.

[@beatboxclubdublin4408]

Such a pleasure to watch gsp train.

[@kellyjordan6440]

Over 20 years in Muay Thai myself, he moves just like a Thai fighter. He's clearly very talented, nice teep!

[@SteelerNationBaby]

I love and respect gsp willingness to grow and learn from all mma disciplines and always sought the best trainers avail world wide. I thinks that's why he has evolved so much. and made wrestling his foundation by training w Olympic team...he became very hard to beat and became tougher to ko.

[@stifnif5881]

Respect légende. Meilleur fighter pour ma part. Complet!

[@RockBuster94]

Happy B-Day GSP!

[@livewithsin]

i'll agree with you there, it would be nice to see GSP work on his stand up game and show how he could stand with the best in the division. He's an amazing wrestler, but so are Cain and Hendo and they both are known for more than that side of their game.

[@johncampbelltattoos2494]

[@ICombatX]

Really nice technique, of course his striking style is not pure MT but i'll love to see GSP using more of that, he has the power to generate some killer Thai style kicks and knees

+Karate Kid Just started muay thai at 20 years old, for fitness reasons and wanting to learn how to fight, and it makes me respect these fighters even more, its fucking difficult

[@Lotus-Son]

Hope no one takes this offensively but you can tell GSP's super disciplined because you can imagine how much he works on his technique on his own to make it as perfect as he can, since he's not as naturally talented as others. Before you all try and kill me just know GSP always says he's not the most talented fighter in MMA in any one aspect and jokes trying to unlock the "secret" behind what makes natural phenoms like Jose Aldo and A. Silva tick. His words. He works harder than most!

[@SUNSPYtm]

Don't worry about him. Facts are much easier to digest. GSP was hit on/behind the ear by Serra. This upsets the fluid in the inner ear which controls balance and is one of the most underestimated strikes in combat. GSP recalled 'wanting to get him' after it, without first regaining the status quo. In the exchange he was clipped properly and Serra was close enough to keep hitting him. Once you pass the 'wanting to get him' gut reaction.. it is a point of no return. Even the hugest chins fail.

[@SUNSPYtm]

The best example I can use is Brian Stann recently knocked out by Wanderlei. He is/was known for having a 'granite' chin and who was expecting him to get knocked out how he did ? I mean this in a nice way, but he got reckless and he got clean KO'd like I never thought I'd see. It wasn't his chin that failed it was his readiness to react to the punch.. non existent. You can't commit to a strike and then change your momentum to switch to defending. Balance and momentum/impetus are everything.

[@LoxagosSnake]

Train pro level on what? Keyboard fighting?

[@mrbigolnuts3041]

Dude uses his calf muscle so well

[@GabrielRamirez-ep1xc]

Who’s here’ in 2021😭

[@andyward8430]

The majority of his training (in terms of athletic training, not technical) consists of gymnastics and track and field. Both sports build explosive strength. He said on Joe Rogans podcast that if he could go back and start his career over that he would use those two almost exclusively for his athletic training.

[@marti789b]

and what is your opinion about Branden Lee hinkle????????

[@blizorok]

Huge GSP fan here. He looks a bit soft in the belly region. It's nice to see that he isn't ridiculously cut year round.

[@PhenomenalWonOne]

Also keep in mind, GSP didn't wrestle Kos, he decided to point strike him and avoid the wrestling. Hendrix dominated (I use that word loosely) Kos in the grappling, working on offense or defense constantly, and controlled a majority of every round Condit landed 1 kick and almost KO'd GSP, Diaz got held down and GSP still looked beat up, he doesn't have the chin to take punishment. He HAS to avoid punishment, hence his style. Once a guy figures a way to give and take with GSP, he becomes mediocre

[@twotimetony78]

Lol

[@thetruth9816]

This comment aged like sour milk after GSP choked out Bisping. This guy is absolutely clueless.

If you have been keeping an eye on Buakaw he is actually training MMA at the moment & he's a very fast learner

[@arnoldrivers9666]

Tiger! Tiger! Tiger - uppercut!

[@PhenomenalWonOne]

He fights the way he does for a reason, he knows he can't absorb punishment, and he knows he can't take strikes like some other fighters can, because all it takes with him is 1 good shot, its MMA, these guys are trained to a level where they could KO anyone if they're not properly defending, its a rare exception for guys like Rampage who just don't go to sleep, and/or have rare genetics, bone structure, ect that allows them to take big shots. He survives by avoiding strikes, why argue?

[@kingfester]

He's always training. That's what separates him from the other guys.

[@marti789b]

why ???? who would win gsp or ramon dekkers?? both in his prime??? in a muay thai fight

[@livewithsin]

he doesn't just lay on them, he has the most sig strikes in UFC history. He could definitely do a lot more, but saying that he just lays on them for 3-5 minutes isn't true, if that were true, he would have been stood up in his fights.

[@unknownally]

Stockton, CA GSP fan here as well as Diaz bros

[@andyward8430]

For a while I was thinking Hendricks would be a tough test, but after seeing some of his fights again I'm starting to think his only chance is a flash KO. He is so much like Kos in terms of his skill set but I would argue that Kos was a bigger challenge to GSP in terms of matching his speed and athleticism while Hendricks could be a bigger test in terms of strength. Still though I think GSP is a little better at everything. I think Hendricks knows it too, especially after Condit.

different aspects of fighting sometimes you get bored of your routine you know what I mean

[@johncashpolarbear]

Don't get me wrong I do keep up with Buakaw and i'm a big fan of his. I just feel the size and experience advantage for George would be too great. Not only would his wrestling and top game overwhelm Buakaw he's a black belt in karate with striking being his primary background. I'd personally if anything like to see buakaw fight at lightweight or even featherweight. Him and aldo would be a great fight.

[@jaqzodi2752]

is gsp right handed? because he fights southpaw.

[@ramosam23]

All these negative comments abiut how "boring" gsp is but see it like this gsp is a champion and he fights safe cause thats his style for a championship fight..I can almost guarantee if it was a 3 round fight you would see him finish more fights..every fighter has there style of fighting and thats his style love or hate it there hasnt been anyone that can find a way to beat it..I do agree that I would like to see him finish more fights but im not the one in the octagon fighting he is

[@johnnythirdmusic]

hendrix can talk all he wants, GSP can fucking strike!

[@PhenomenalWonOne]

Then you have middle grounds like frankie edgar, doesn't have the greatest chin in the world, he's a small dude, most the fighters in UFC at any weight could KO him, but he's got amazing cardio, and amazing heart, as well as technique & footwork which allows him to recover. GSP is somewhere around there, but if someone like Hendricks lands a bomb on his chin, he's going to sleep, where someone like Diaz could eat them all fight. Height/reach also play a big role and illustrate natural size.

[@jalechrist8389]

yeah cause of his right knee thats for sure

[@PhenomenalWonOne]

Some like GSP have glass jaws to begin with, or like Diaz have granite chins to begin with, its partially genetics, upbringing, mentality, ability to absorb including technique like relaxing and moving with the strike instead of resisting/tensing which will get you KO'd. Machida seems solid, and Couture is a beast but he's been old, and the older you get the easier you get KO'd just based on brain and cardiovascular conditioning. Yes everyone can be KOd but some people have glass jaws some don't

[@zintensity]

currently ranked the 3rd pound for pound best fighter. ( currently ranked the 2rd pound for pound best fighter ) its okay everyone i fixed it .

[@ninja1714]

Master Yod is the shit.

[@SuperMav33]

Yeah I do, he doesn't fight like he used to after the knockdown and stoppage from Matt 'The Terror' Serra he wasn't the same. I never said he wasn't a great fighter, he is able to impose his tactic on everyone - takedown-smother-maul-(possibly win by submission) or win on points=boring fights :)

[@messiiironaldo]

did the average striking convince you?

[@Youngster543210]

I know this, I was responding to the guy that said "I guarantee you the fighters at that camp........" thanks though.

[@Heavonpker]

That's probably because of wrestling if he's right handed and southpaw he has more explosive takedowns.

[@ben42173]

GSP the fukcing best of the world REAL FIGHTER NAC MUY

[@johncashpolarbear]

Just to clarify on some of the comments i'm seeing on here. Yes GSP's standup isn't as good as a pure world class thai boxer's. Thai boxing is the only sport these guys can make money in locally, considering the fact that mixed martial arts is an illegal sport in thailand. These guys have short and brutal careers, being exposed to the sport as early as 5 and fighting professionally at 12 or 13. Respect the difference's.

[@Youngster543210]

Georges doesn't seem like he puts much behind his punches, I'm sure he could hit quite a bit harder than we see him hit.

[@SF01Pro]

i bet u Sagat from Street Fighter would train here. TIGER UPPERCUT!

[@ninja1714]

It's actually like "Pooh-ket" :)

[@brandon.mart00]

The only thing that kind of worries me are his blackouts. He thinks it might be aliens but I'm pretty sure it's all those shots to the head.

[@PhenomenalWonOne]

Its the hardest fight for GSP by far. He has a guy who can and probably will KO him in round 1, and has possibly as good or better wrestling. I think GSP is the better fighter on paper, but paper doesn't show his glass jaw, or the fact that he throws nothing but peppering, point scoring strikes, and Hendrix will be looking to take his head off. If GSP can control early, and wear Hendrix down, take away his KO power, and make it a wrestling/karate style match, he has a good chance, but not easy.

[@kenotrovta]

His Muay Thai is looking sharp. He'll need it against Hendrix if he can't take him down (probably can though). @Jimmy: Hit up *MartialProfits. com* That's should help you figure out how to earn using the internet. That's what I do and it gives me the freedom to basically travel the world and train. If you're thinking about heading to Tiger, I'd certainly recommend it.. especially for grappling. There's a 4th degree black belt + 2 UFC fighters working as coaches.

[@vazusanto]

I think he'll be able to take him down. He's been able to take down everyone else so..

[@jesusbartell9007]

Rick Behel Has he fought as good of a wrestler as Hendrix though? Maybe Koscheck?.. Hughes too.. yeah, he'll be able to take him down now that I think about it.

[@PhenomenalWonOne]

(4) You never know what is going to happen, you never now at what percent a fighter is going to realize, exceed, or fail to meet expectations, and potential, and mental states, injuries, overall state of being day of the fight all factors in, I'm not saying GSP will lose 100%, who knows. What I am saying is if you bet on GSP every fight because no one can beat him, like with Jones vs Gustaffson, or Silva vs Weidman, its not the best fight to convince yourself their opponent(s) have no chance.

[@Proxybuster]

try stand in thailand crowd and explain that to the people, and see what happens :)

[@johncashpolarbear]

lol, really? Buakaw fights at 69.5 kg or 153lb's. With absolutely no grappling experience that'd be more one sided then coutre's short fight with James Toney.
