WHO’S BEHIND HEJTAC?

My name is JAROSLAV HEŘMÁNEK but most people call me Hejty.

I’m a former operator of the 601st Special Forces Group and an instructor with extensive experience in both Czech and international training environments.

Today, I provide individual shooting and self-defense training for civilians, athletes and members of the armed forces.

My experience comes from some of the most demanding environments, but my training isn’t about military drill. I want it to be a space where you can step away from everyday stress and focus fully on what you’re doing.

My approach is built around understanding how things work and finding what works for you. Much like martial arts, it’s not just about mastering techniques. It’s about bringing together the mind, body and awareness of your surroundings. This is where calm and confidence in your own abilities begin to grow.

Today, I train people in shooting and self-defense. Through HEJTAC, I bring together experience from sport, special operations and international training.

I served as an operator with the Czech Armed Forces’ 601st Special Forces Group, specializing in tactical intelligence. I completed a range of specialist courses and overseas deployments.

I spent three years as an instructor at the International Special Training Centre (ISTC) in Germany. I taught international courses including SOTG Planning, Military Assistance and SOTG Tactical Operations Centre. I continue to teach there occasionally.

I studied a military programme at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University in Prague, gaining a broad foundation in sport and coaching.

hejtac isn't just about me

I believe safety doesn’t begin with equipment or techniques. It begins with the person.

That’s why my training connects three essential elements:

I spent 15 years competing in finswimming at the highest level and became a multiple Czech national champion.

When I’m not training, you’ll probably find me at a shooting competition, on a motorcycle or at a playground.
