I developed my methods by studying health & wellness and strength & conditioning for over a decade and by working as a professional in the field for over 6 years. Together with my training partner Samuli, we also traveled the world for over 4 years researching different ancient methods of strengthening and taking care of the human body.
Our programs and courses are well praised and endorsed by countless personal trainers, teachers and coaches, PhDs in physical therapy, physiotherapists, martial artists, recreational and professional athletes and many others just to name a few.
Although our training goes deeper than the surface and offers unique ways of developing the body and realizing one's potential, we also have complete beginners starting out with our methods.

[@lukaskellerstein]

Great work VAHVA! You are so natural in the movements. I hope Jiri will train the movements, improve his flexibility, fix the shoulder and bring the belt back again to Brno.

[@protector808]

Ero awesome milestone for your channel! I've been following you since the beginning days of your work and Jiri is one of my favorite UFC fighters. So glad to see you both collab like this!

[@xennori1409]

Damn this guy was barely able to speak english last time i saw him in UFC. He is getting better prty fast. Also that "Sparring" at the end Jiri has some cool flow. It looks like hes dancing

[@OCDadal]

Reminds me of how Conor used to train with Ido Portal outside

[@GK_Imagimotion]

You meant playing touch butt in the park 😂

[@daronchatz]

Those days were ground breaking

[@anthonystone9897]

man juri is such a breath of fresh air in the clown factory that is the ufc. so happy to see him outside of that

[@steverogers7601]

Yea I like Jiri. He seems like a good egg, but he’s right in the same category as Tony Ferguson, Bryce Mitchell, and Conor McGregor in terms of fighting style and training styles. Definitely a weirdo and unconventional but sure when you compare to the dbags that are in the UFC, he’s absolutely a welcomed change.

[@benharry8324]

How you dare compare Jiri with Bryce flatearther :D I hear this bullshit for 1st time :D

[@BRAINFxck10]

@@benharry8324clown factory? Bro there’s only a handful of UFC fighters I would call clowns most of them are pretty chill dudes but you don’t recognize them because they don’t act like clowns how ironic but that’s casual logic for you 😂

Quadrupedal movement was the best thing I learn over the last few years Thanks Eero !

[@Doppler9]

Love your martial arts related videos. Super cool to get Jiri on the channel.

[@thelobster7277]

Jiri will win the belt AGAIN on Nov. 11!!

[@dr_renin]

Out of nowhere thanks sir for inviting our lightheavyweight champ

[@Tiger42s]

Omg, Two true warriors! alex vs juri.. . One a brazil rainforest warrior vs a Czech mediaeval warrior from the cold winters of Czechs! In hand to hand combat! 2 Giants with Warrior blood (fighting spirit) in there DNA! Clashing! This is Gladiators in moderation times!

[@lunaticz0r]

3min,conor McGregor was laughed at when doing these warm up movements but jiri does it and it's suddenly cool lol.

[@danieltiller1421]

Good stuff man - been following this channel for years. Nice to see some UFC/MMA related posts. Jiri comes across like a cool guy.

[@gingerbauch]

Awesome video with best fighter on the world.🔥 thank you 🙏

[@The-warm-up]

Thanks for sharing this 🙏🏼

[@phoenixrisin2269]

Incredible for frozen shoulder. The scapula is the shoulder, the shoulder is the scapula.

[@francosalinas4459]

Nice. He knows the basic science of kinetic chain movements. Fighting after all is, just body movement.

[@sharonsvoboda6739]

Awesome stuff . Thanks alot.

[@2pathsB4u]

Thanks. Nice energy and flow, fellas?

[@MillerTheOfficialGaming]

This man is on another level

[@bolestivapravda]

Be careful that Jiří does not get used to different movements and does not lose his style.

He will sync em

My favorite fighter ever with Tyson

"playing touch-butt with that dork in the park" - Nate Diaz, 2016

[@garrethollingsworth4878]

Jiri has a lot of power if he moves right he could end a fight fast with his elusive qualities and his forward pressure; let alone the grappling. Sometimes I feel he's too creative gets into the fight too much but I don't doubt his ability to finish a fight. I believe his creative use of elbows, knees, and his fundementals of boxing have improved I like his training looks in great shape. I wonder how this training translates into his hook power see how his shoulder is would hate to see him get injured again.

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Awesome philosphy / concepts and great video!

[@someguy2255]

holy shit, imagine if Jiri learning the iron shirt/golden bell, Jiri would be unstoppable.

[@BRAINFxck10]

He probably learned that already in Thailand cuz they do iron shirt for kickboxing conditioning and Jiri trained there

[@qbob5]

Amazing video!❤

The efficient way of Qigong was created by the original Giga chad Bodhidharma (Ta mo in chinese) who is also yhe creator of Zen which was the basis of effectiveness of Samurai warriors. One Gigachad is the father of three group of warriors from three different cultures

[@tonimisetic]

research ming dynasty general qi chikuang..it is actually hystorical fact that he reformed shaolin fighting which was in bad condition in 16.century

Nate Diaz will be forever iconic for his lines: “playing touchbutt with that dork in the park” “I’m not surprised m’frs” “Emotional fighter; that’s the dumbest f’ing I’ve ever heard”

Why emotional fighter ?

[@MAX-mh3zh]

nice video :)

[@NeutroniummAlchemist]

This was really cool. Eero needs to work on his vision for punches but I'd also have a hard time with Jiri. Seems that some of those punches that got through came at odd angles.

[@Kratoni]

Jiri is literally the best 205 lbs fighter in the world

[@NeutroniummAlchemist]

@@Kratoni Well yes. I would have a hard time in this match up too, and I've been doing martial arts for almost 30 years. Though I'm getting a bit slower these days...

Thats what a natural muscular physique looks like, good amount of muscle mass and low bodyfat. When he is pumped up in good lighting he will probably look alot bigger.

Vahva has no meanin in czech, for example Alexander the great is called Alexander "veliký", which is something like great/big, but great can be also "Dobrý" if u say something like "great shot".

I think Jiri should volume down on this ninja shit and start to spar more like Strickland does. He looked way off in Glover Texeira fight. He focuses on spiritual side too much and forgets fighting

Stand in the park in your underwear talking to a half naked man, and do a little calisthenics and a bit of light sparring too. Very motivating.

[@1234Brian.Street]

The standard's area of application includes transient overvoltages that are transmitted by the power supply system. In addition to surge voltages (such as those arising from switching operations), this includes a direct lightning strike on the supply line. However if direct lightning strikes on or near a physical structure are not taken into consideration or no significant damage occurs; in these cases, refer to IEC 62305 [1-4].
