- Trenér 3. třídy — Český svaz judo
Before founding RuKa JUDO, Karel coached in Klatovy together with Rudolf Kortus. Rudolf later devoted himself to the Klatovy club; Karel stayed in Dobřany and continues to lead RuKa JUDO.
Under Karel's leadership, RuKa JUDO has grown from the first training to tournament successes. He believes judo is not about medals — though medals come when you train honestly. What matters more is what a child or adult takes off the tatami: the ability to fall and stand up, respect for others, calm under pressure.
Karel has been a member of the club's board since its founding. In the dojo you'll find him across all groups — from five-year-old Tigers to adults.
