New Year Workshop Prague - January 2026
During this immersive hands-on workshop, we explore how movement, behaviour, perception, emotions, and thought patterns shape and influence each other.
Rooted in the Fighting Monkey Practice, this workshop goes beyond learning techniques - it is about developing tools to support meaningful and lasting changes. Participants become active research partners, testing and applying key principles to their own challenges.
The workshop is also a part of our year long Study Cycle, a platform which provides an opportunity for continuous development of your own sustainable, life-supporting practice (see more at https://www.jakubzeman.net/studycyclecz2526)
Together, in a group of curious and committed practitioners, we will:
✅ Receive Feedback – Understand yourself better: how your body is structured, how you learn, and how you adapt.
✅ Acquire Practical Tools – Games, practices, and ideas to work on what is needed with enjoyment—without dependency on a teacher.
✅ Improve Predictions – Adjust your practice, behaviour, and thinking models to shape a more open and engaging future.
Key Areas of Study
🌀 Open Games – Keep playing to stay sharp, mobile, and engaged throughout life.
🎵 Rhythm & Coordination – Learn to move better rather than constantly fixing your body.
🛠 Creativity & Agency – Build your own practice—don’t rely on masters.
👀 Action & Perception – Explore how we make sense of the world through movement.
💬 Movement & Communication – Move and express yourself in a way which allows you to resonate well and respond flexibly
Who is it for?
We believe in the power of diverse learning environments. This study cycle is open to anyone willing to challenge their worldview, examine their habits, and engage in open exploration—whether you’re an artist, athlete, coach, therapist, engineer, teacher, or simply a curious mover.
If you are excited about play, discovery, and long-term movement intelligence, these learning experiences can bring a lot of value and facilitate profound beneficial changes.
