Honza and Martin, Martin and honza...
Believe it or not, the idea behind Choketopus was born from two completely ordinary guys. Dads, coaches, but above all, two friends who know that movement is an essential part of our lives. And we spread this idea to as many people as possible.
Czech product without compromise
We’ve been using functional clothing for as long as we can remember, but over time we got fed up with the lackluster and low-quality options available. So, we decided to go against the flow, and here in the heart of Europe, we shape and produce our own ideas. We want to dress and train in the best, and offer the same opportunity to everyone who loves what we do.

Who’s behind it all?
Martin
Co-founder of Choketopus gym. He studied at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and worked for leading global companies in the electronics industry. However, in 2007, he discovered Krav Maga, and since then, combat sports have consumed him. His path led from Krav Maga to boxing and BJJ, which he currently teaches and actively trains.
Outside the mat, Martin is a full-time father of two daughters. A fan of Star Wars, sci-fi and fantasy in general, good coffee, and great food.
Honza
Co-founder of Choketopus gym and one of the most experienced Krav Maga instructors in the Czech Republic. He studied at the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University and is currently developing the original Choketopus Krav Maga system.
He has been involved in combat sports since he was six years old and in both sports and self-defense, he advocates an open, individual, and friendly approach. Outside the gym, he enjoys reading, photography, and spending time in the forest with his dogs.
Lukáš
Head of design at Choketopus. A graphic designer who kickstarted the visual aspect of Choketopus and continues to contribute to the marketing, visual communication, and overall direction of Choketopus.
Besides Choketopus, Lukáš works as a freelance graphic designer. He is interested in economics, technology, and their connection in the world of BTC. In contrast to the modern tech world, he likes to return to nature, philosophy, minimalism, and natural movement.
Mikoláš
Mikoláš started with us as a social media expert. After completing the Police Academy, he began focusing on photography and videomaking. Through hard work, he gained experience and now photographs alongside other guys at Zero Limits.
Photography is his life, and it shows in the quality of his work because those photos? Wow, they’re amazing! That guy has a truly magical camera…
The complete opposite of a yolk and a distant cousin of Dolph Lundgren, who pees against the wind.
Tereza
Our online support. She first started training at Choketopus Gym and eventually became part of the team. She helps us with communication, course preparation, scheduling, and everything related to the gym.
She loves nature and the mountains, where she also lives. She is a student of clinical naturopathy and runs her own holistic practice. In addition to these activities, she loves reading, minimalism, and ecology. And jokers. And glitter…
Terka also creates awesome newsletters for you every month, so no one misses any of the new things we’re planning. Did you know that for every unread Choketopus newsletter, there’s a sad kitten somewhere in the world?
