If you haven’t seen UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre doing gymnastics, here’s your chance to see him on the rings as he prepares to face the ex-Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz at UFC 137 in . Diaz surrendered his belt to get the chance to face GSP for the UFC title on October 27 in Las Vegas.
GSP:
… This is the hardest sport I’ve done in my life.
“Gymnastics is going to make my career more long because it’s a good [on the] therapeutic point of view. It stretches my body. It gives me more range of motion, better coordination, and better athleticism.”
Coach: Patrick Beauchamp

this is awesome. I also got into gymnastics very late (age 22) but found a love for the sport and desire to learn. I’m 23 now and growing stronger and more flexible everyday. I played college soccer before i start gymnastics, and thought that i was strong and flexible and gymnastics helped me realize the limitless potential of my own body, with the correct training. I’ll never be an olympic champion, but i can be a champion in my own mind if i continue to pursue new skills, new strength goals, and new flexibilty goals everyday. Gymnastics is at the core of human health and fitness, and pursuing my own health and fitness makes me happy. In the end, that’s what gymnastics is: Individuals seeking a means to a healthy, happy, successful life, and gymnastics can deliver that at all levels.
