Jiří Procházka’s Breathing Coach Reveals His Training Secrets | Oxygen Advantage® x UFC 320

In this special Oxygen Advantage® conversation, Patrick McKeown speaks with Rostislav Václavek, Master Instructor for Oxygen Advantage® and Buteyko Clinic International®, and the breathing coach of UFC fighter Jiří Procházka.

Together, they explore the science and practice of breath training — from recovery and focus to repeated sprint ability and endurance under fatigue.

Rostislav shares insights from his three-year collaboration with Jiří, explaining how breath-hold sprints, nasal breathing, and conscious control of carbon dioxide tolerance have helped build physical and mental resilience at the highest level of competition.

You’ll learn:

🫁 How Jiří Procházka integrated Oxygen Advantage® techniques into his fight preparation

⚡ The physiology behind breath-hold sprints and simulated altitude training

🧘 Why recovery, awareness, and calm breathing are just as vital as intensity

💪 The role of CO₂ tolerance in energy, focus, and composure

“Working with the breath isn’t about instant results — it’s about consistent practice.
The practice changes your health, your focus, your performance… and your life.”
— Rostislav Václavek

This is a powerful discussion for anyone interested in functional breathing, high-performance sport, recovery, and human potential.
