How about supporting Jiří "BJP" Procházka before his fight while also doing something for yourself? The Czech brand Švihej is launching a community challenge called Fightweek BJP, which will connect movement and MMA fans from November 15 to 21, 2026. Together, they will try to collect five million jumps with a skipping rope, symbolically providing energy to the Czech fighter before his match in Doha, Qatar. Anyone can participate for free, from anywhere, regardless of experience, either individually or in teams of up to five people. The weekly challenge will conclude with a gathering in Prague.

What to give for Christmas this year: small ideas, big joy
Christmas has a special ability to transform even the most ordinary moments into something we look forward to all year. The smell of freshly baked cookies, lights in the windows, the first wrapped gift, or the evening when we finally turn off our phones and watch our favorite movie. However, amidst shopping, baking, and endless to-do lists, we sometimes forget the most important thing – to enjoy the preparations themselves. This year, try it a little differently. You don’t need a perfectly coordinated Christmas tree or twelve types of cookies. Just a few ideas that will bring joy to you and others. And perhaps the simplest ones will ultimately create the best Christmas atmosphere.
