COACH

Filip Hančík

A graduate of RuKa JUDO. Czech Championships — silver in older youth, bronze in cadets A.

Grade: 2. kyu

  • 3rd-class coach — Czech Judo Federation

Filip grew up on the Dobřany tatami — from a young pupil to a junior national representative. He brought home silver from the Czech Championships as an older youth, and later bronze at the Czech Championships in the cadet A category — the club's most significant national medals.

He now returns to judo as a coach for younger categories. He is a 3rd-class coach of the Czech Judo Federation with the technical rank of 2nd kyu. His approach is shaped by his own experience with the pressure of big tournaments — he knows what works and what children need to hear after their first defeat.
