Launched in April this year in the United States and Canada, the book “The Way of the Fight”, autobiography fighter Georges St-Pierre, is already a bestseller according to the famous list of “The New York Times.” Occupying the 30th position in the ranking of non-fiction books, the book revolves around the life of the welterweight champion of the Ultimate.

After defeating Jake Shields at UFC 129 in April 2011, Georges St-Pierre spent 19 months recovering from injuries and knee surgeries, which gave him enough time to put on paper as the Canadian boy who suffered bullying at the time of the college met martial arts and became one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.

The book has no date set for release in Brazil.

Renzo Gracie black belt and former NYPD Mike Codella just published Alphaville1988, Crime, Punishment and the Battle for New York City’s Lower East Side, a book of memoirs that’s causing quite a stir.

According to the websites of newspapersThe New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, the former police officer who is now teaches in Staten Island, New York, is a reminder of how bizarre the criminal world of the place was in the 1980s, before a zero-tolerance policy put the metropolis on the right track.

“I might not have always behaved, but I did more good things than bad,” says Codella in the New York Times review. The black belt reflects on a quote by Buddha: “It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.”

I went to Brazil and trained Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra, trained judo and karate in Japan, muay thai in Thailand, sambo in Russia, kickboxing in Holland, boxing in England and wrestling in Iowa” Martin Rooney

“I’m really excited about the new book. There are 384 pages and more than 1,500 color photos with loads of secrets for readers,” Martin tells GRACIEMAG.com. “In putting together the book, I traveled to various different countries to train in the martial arts that make up MMA. And I took part in the physical conditioning preparations for each art, too. I went to Brazil and trained Jiu-Jitsu at Gracie Barra, trained judo and karate in Japan (at Kodokan and the Japanese Karate Association), muay thai in Thailand (Fairtex BangPhli), sambo in Russia, kickboxing in Holland (Mejiro Gym), boxing in England and wrestling at the University of Iowa, here in the USA. I spent months abroad training and gathering information.”

Beyond the training and secrets of each martial art, Martin describes how each fighting style is performed, the philosophy behind each style and presents a variety of different teachings from the grandmasters of each martial art. The book moreover offers readers a six-month exercise program and a dietary plan.
