In 2002 Peter Lakatos decided to pick up Krav Maga. Krav Maga is a self defense system developed by IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) and Israeli Security Forces utilizing a number of combined techniques from martial arts such as Karate, Judo, Aikido, Boxing, and Wrestling. The fighting system focuses on real life situations taking the most effective and practical techniques to finish a fight as quickly and aggressively as possible. For 15 years Lakatos went to Israel, the birthplace of Krav Maga, eventually bringing the system to Hungary. Testing for his Black Belt in Krav Maga, Peter notices one of his least developed skills was grappling. One of Peter’s best friends and the first Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu asked Lakatos for years to try out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Peter ended up deciding to try it out for a couple of weeks to only get proficient enough for his Krav Maga exam. Even with 10 years of a martial arts background, like most beginners in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu he was outmatched. He was tapping and getting destroyed by Blue Belts (one rank above White Belt) according to Lakatos. Peter unsurprisingly ended up getting hooked, receiving his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a decade later by that same best friend under Carlson Gracie, one of the members of the famous Gracie family. Peter was always surprised when he earned a new belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, always feeling like he had to work hard to earn the rank he was given.

One of Lakatos’s big breakthrough moments in becoming a high level coach was FMS (Functional Movement Screen). Functional Movement Screen is a screening that evaluates 7 specific and fundamental movements in injury free athletes. 1st of the 7 fundamental movements are the Deep Squat, used to test the mobility of the hips, knees and ankles etc… The 2nd fundamental movement is the Hurdle Step, which tests

the athletes stability in a single leg stance. 3rd is the incline lunge challenging the hip, knee, ankle and foot mobility. 4th of the 7 movements is Shoulder Mobility testing the shoulder’s range of motion and upper extremity shoulder movements. 5th is the Active Straight Leg Raise which identifies the active mobility to the flexed hip. 6th is the Trunk Stability Push Up with a goal that initiates movement with upper extremities in a push up type of movement. Finally the 7th movement is Rotary Stability, a complex movement where the athlete is on all fours pushing the same side leg back and arm forward while maintaining stabilization and coordination. The scoring criteria is a grading system from 0 to 3. A score of 0 is given to the individual if there is pain at any time while performing one of the fundamental movements. A score of 1 is given if the person attempting to perform the movement cannot perform the full movement even when given compensation. A 2 is given when the individual can indeed perform the movement but compensates with poor mechanics. A 3 is given to said individual when they can perform the movement without any compensation or accommodations. Peter Lakatos runs training and certifications for Functional Movement Screen in Hungary and has been invited to teach in surrounding countries Slovakia, Israel, Italy etc…

Peter Lakatos started implementing during his career Buteyko which is a Russian breathing method under the author Patrick Mcewen which is a good friend of Pater’s. Peter was surprised that even at the highest level, an athlete's breathing goes overlooked. This lack of knowledge and attention to breathing hinders their performance to less than what it potentially can be with proper knowledge and implementation on breathing skills. This affects their sleep and recovery due to snoring and even sleep apnea. “If your breathing is off your sleeping is off” Lakatos claims.
