BASIC INFORMATIONS

I first fired a 9mm pistol in 1995 as part of our karate club at the Police Headquarters in Pilsen. Through martial arts Karate and Musado, I later came to firearms and tactical training. Moving to Prague for university led me to Thai boxing and the Israeli Krav Maga school. I have integrated the physical contact of Thai boxing and defensive elements in realistic scenarios into firearms training and created my first own methodology of defensive shooting focused on evaluating and resolving real-life situations with the possible use of firearms, emphasizing the legal assessment of self-defense.
In 2011, the informal group B-rdy [be ready!] was founded, which grown into a successful shooting-tactical team consisting of both armed forces members and civilians, with over 150 supporters collecting medals in dynamic shooting disciplines (IPSC, IDPA, LOS) and tactical-shooting competitions. Since 2016, we have been organizing BMC – B-rdy Military Challenge every month, a competition requiring full-gear including ballistic protection. Once a year, I strive to organize a major event that pushes the physical, mental, and skill limits of participants, in the form of the B-rdy Military Cup, Tactical Scenarios or our newest project international tactical shooting competition Czech Combat.
I love nature (especially the Brdy mountains) and the outdoors. In my free time, I dedicate myself to family, running, cycling, and combat sports. I admire everyone who works on themselves and is not afraid to step out of their comfort zone.”
