About the project
Is any of this in English?

The website is. The podcast, the courses and the letters on Substack are in Slovak.

What is HexaForce?

A podcast and online courses for people who want to put in the work on body and mind. We always build our courses with someone who has really achieved something in their field. Plus the Hexagram: a test that shows you where you stand.

Who is it for?

For anyone who’s tired of choosing between strength and brains. You don’t have to be a fighter. Most of the content works for a regular person who wants to move better and think more clearly.

Who is it not for?

If you’re looking for a quick fix, motivational videos or a “lose weight in 14 days” plan, you’re in the wrong place. We don’t do anything like that.

Who stands behind it?

HexaForce was founded by Ján Samuel Lupták and Marek Ďuriančík. Ján fights MMA professionally. In amateur MMA, he has an 11-0-1 record and is a world runner-up (GAMMA 2024). He’s also a 3× Slovak judo champion. But we don’t build the courses around one name. Each one is created with someone who has achieved something in their field. More on the About page.

What does “six forces” mean?

Six areas a person grows in: mind, body, spirit, craft, the people around you, and what you leave behind. It’s not a list of exercises. It’s a framework we build both the content and the test around.

Courses
Why pay when everything is free on YouTube?

YouTube has hundreds of hours of contradictions. This is one subject, in order from the foundations to the top, from someone who actually knows it.

What exactly do I get when I buy a course?

The complete online course: video lessons and accompanying materials, as described for each course. You watch whenever you want, at your own pace.

When do the courses launch?

Soon. We’ll email the exact date to anyone who signs up. We won’t publish the date until we’re sure of it.

How long do I have access to a course?

For good. You buy it once, and the course stays yours. No further payments, no renewals.

I don’t train in martial arts. Will it be any use to me?

Yes, if you apply it to your own training. The standard is set to a fighter’s level, because a fighter can least afford mistakes. But it’s still the same body doing the learning. Someone who’s been injured, a parent who lifts a child every day, a runner, a hockey player, and the person who sits for eight hours and feels it in their back by evening are all dealing with the same thing: where power comes from and where it gets lost. You get the principle and the sequence, not a tailor-made plan. You have to do the training yourself.

What level is it for? Can I handle it as a beginner?

It depends on the course. The entry level is listed for each one. Neither Body Without the Brakes nor Ground, Spine, Inside and Combat requires any experience. The second is an introduction to working with your own body on the ground. Biomechanics of Combat assumes you train a combat sport at least once a week. A Fighter’s Explosive Power expects you to have six months of strength training behind you.

Do I need any equipment?

Nothing you can’t get your hands on. You’ll do most of it with your own bodyweight and what you have at home or in a regular gym. You’ll find the exact list with each course.

Can I get my money back?

As a consumer, you have 14 days to withdraw from the contract. For digital content, however, this right ends if you have expressly requested immediate access and confirmed that you thereby lose that right. When you order, you’ll see this as two separate checkboxes. The decision is yours. Full details in the terms of sale.

Will I get a certificate?

No. We don’t hand out paper. This is training, not a seminar. What counts is what you can do afterward, not what you have printed.

Is it one-on-one training?

No, the courses are recorded. One-on-one coaching is possible by arrangement. Write to [email protected].

Hexagram
What is the Hexagram?

A test of your six forces. Thirty questions, one sitting, about eight minutes. At the end you’ll see where you’re strong and where the holes are, and you’ll walk away with your own Seal.

Is it free?

Yes. Nothing to pay, nothing to prepay.

Do I have to enter my email address?

You enter your email only so we can send you your Seal. We don’t use it to sign you up for anything else. You subscribe to the HexaForce letters separately, on Substack.

What happens to my answers?

They’re scored right in your browser. An unfinished test is saved locally on your device so you don’t have to start over, and it isn’t sent anywhere.

Can I take the test again?

Yes, anytime.

Podcast
When does the first episode come out?

Soon. We’ll email the exact date to anyone who signs up. The form is further down the podcast page.

Where can I listen to it?

On Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. The links will go up when the first episode is out.

What will it be about?

Long conversations with people from sports, medicine, art and business. Movement as medicine, injuries, discipline, longevity — the topics people usually keep quiet about.

Imagery
Are the photos on the site real?

The photos are real. The shots from training, fights and the garden are our own. We’ll never use a generated face or body, or a moment that didn’t happen, and we won’t pass off a generated image as a photograph.

The nameless masked warrior, on the other hand, is created deliberately, digitally. It isn’t anyone in particular, and it isn’t meant to be. It’s a symbol, not a person: a mask instead of a face, so that anyone who puts in the work can stand in its place. If we put a real face on it, it would be that person’s face, not yours.

The atmospheric layer (smoke, ink, light, texture, background motion) is made digitally. We do this because we want the imagery made exactly our way, not bought from a stock photo library. But we never use it to fake reality: if something presents itself as a record of reality, it is one.

This is a rule, not an excuse. We write it here so it can be checked.

Privacy and tech
Do you use cookies?

No. The site has no cookies and no tracking tools. No analytics, no ad scripts, nothing from third parties. That’s why you won’t find a consent banner here either: there’s nothing to consent to.

What do you do with my email address?

We use it only for the reason you gave it to us: to deliver your Seal or to let you know about the launch. We don’t sell it, and we don’t share it with third parties for their marketing. Full details in the privacy notice.

How do I unsubscribe?

With one click in every email. Or write to [email protected] and we’ll unsubscribe you. For the letters on Substack, you unsubscribe directly in them.
