Learn to Protect Yourself and the People Around You
The Choketopus Krav Maga System is a self-defense method refined through years of practice and real experience. Its primary goal is to help you avoid conflict and dangerous situations whenever possible.

Don’t stay unprepared — take responsibility for your safety and learn how to handle difficult situations with confidence.

FAQ
Yes, your first class is free.
We’d be happy to welcome you for a no-obligation trial so you can see for yourself whether our training and atmosphere are the right fit for you.
Unfortunately, no.
For system and scheduling reasons, it isn’t possible to switch between different sports under a single membership.
For example, if you have a BJJ membership, it cannot be used for MMA or Krav Maga classes.
Absolutely. Our beginner courses are designed so that anyone can join, regardless of their current fitness level.
We’ll guide you through the fundamental movements step by step, and you’ll gradually adapt to the training intensity at your own pace.
The Multisport card can only be used for entry to the open gym (strength & conditioning area) at Pražačka.
It cannot be used for coached classes or structured courses.
The opening hours of the open gym at Pražačka are the same as the swimming pool facility, where Choketopus Gym is located.
Access is managed by the front desk staff at the main entrance of the building.
Unfortunately, that isn’t possible.
Children are divided into two age-based groups (up to 15 years old), and parents cannot train in the same classes as their children.
Of course, we understand that shift work can make it difficult to stick to a fixed training schedule.
Within the same location, it’s possible to arrange a combination of training times individually with your coach.
We kindly ask that you inform us in advance so we can organize everything accordingly.
For your very first class, you only need comfortable sportswear and ideally flip-flops for moving around the areas outside the tatami.
We’ll advise you on what equipment you’ll need for future training sessions and explain everything step by step.
All training apparel and essential gear can be found in our online shop.
Our top priority is structured training and safety.
That’s why we offer dedicated beginner courses, where complete newcomers learn fundamental movement skills and technical basics step by step — also with injury prevention in mind.
Completing the beginner course is always the better option, and we strongly recommend it to anyone without prior experience in martial arts.
