Grappling Athlete is for grapplers who are done being the weak link. Whether you're a hobbyist who just wants to stay healthy on the mats, or a competitor chasing the podium, this program is built to make you stronger, more explosive and harder to injure — so you can spend less time rehabbing and more time submitting people. No fluff, no guesswork, no random Instagram workouts. Just the kind of training the best Czech and Slovak grapplers are already doing. If you want to find out what your jiu‑jitsu looks like when you're finally strong enough to back it up — you're in the right place.

If even one of those hit home, you're exactly who this program was built for. Because jiu‑jitsu doesn't work if you're just too weak — or injured.

Verified Athlete"Filip saved my fight. A month before my title fight, I had torn ligaments in my knee. I could only get around with crutches and a brace. Filip worked with me almost every day so we could get the knee into a state where I was able to compete. He's a pro."

Verified Athlete"Filda from DarkSide and I have been working together on strength training for almost two years. He helps me maintain far greater consistency and variety in my strength prep. I'm extremely satisfied and clearly the strongest I've been in about 20 years of competitive sport."
Jan PernĂÄŤek DoleĹľel
BJJ Brown Belt from Choketopus Gym
Verified Athlete"FĂla's program is great for everyone who has at least some lighter training experience. The program is tailored for grapplers so that you're still able to train BJJ You'll get a better online program and better care than I used to get going to other S&C coaches in person."
Katarina Vojvodová
Purple Belt (Gorilla Academy)
Verified Athlete""It is a top programme. I personally feel major progress, yet I never feel like the strength work is draining my energy for jiu-jitsu. The sessions are very easy to adjust depending on your training phase, and Filip is always helpful whenever needed. I recommend it to everyone — gi fans included.""
