Morning Grappling & Conditioning ~30 min · Before the morning run · Daily at FEPSAC

Every morning before the run, we’re doing something a little different. This is a 30-minute conditioning session built around movement drills from the world of BJJ and wrestling: animal locomotion, ground flow, tumbling, partner games. The kind of stuff that looks casual but gets your whole body working in ways you didn’t expect.

If you’ve never trained a grappling sport, it is perfect. There’s something genuinely fresh about moving close to the ground, figuring out how your body navigates space, and doing it all with another person. It trains coordination, spatial awareness, and functional strength (and it’s fun).

No experience needed, no gear needed. Just show up with comfy clothes and some curiosity, and get properly fired up before the morning run.

Morning Runs ~30 min · After the Grappling session · Daily at FEPSAC

To start the conference day focused, energetic and powerful, we are inviting you to our morning running sessions. It doesn’t matter if this is your first run or if you’re already a seasoned veteran, we’ll be running in separate groups at different paces.

We’ll start with a warm-up, then run for 30 minutes, and finish with a group stretch. If you’re just looking for a light run to start your day, this is the place for you. If you want to challenge yourself and have a more intense workout, this is the place for you, too.

Bring your running shoes and let’s go!

The morning grappling workouts and runs will take place one after the other, not at the same time, so you can join just one or the other, or you can even do both (highly recommended 🙂 )!

Gábor Barta, sports psychologist, organizational development psychologist, runner

Midday Mindfulness ~20 min · After lunch · Daily at FEPSAC

Back-to-back sessions, new people, new ideas, a brain that won’t slow down. This is a small pause in the middle of it all to replenish for the second half of the day.

Every day after lunch, Gábor Barta and Gergő Gacs will guide you through 20 minutes of mindfulness: a gentle mix of breathing-based meditation, body scan, visualization, and a mindful walk. Nothing intense, nothing complicated. Just a chance to actually land in your body for a bit before the afternoon kicks off. We’ll help you connect with yourself and be fully present so you can experience the conference to the fullest!

No previous experience with meditation needed, you just have to show up and be present!
