About Grip Grind Glory
We believe it’s never too late to rise.
Not for medals. Not for anyone’s approval.
But to train with purpose—and reclaim your edge.
Grip Grind Glory is a cultural movement for the late starters, the rebuilders, the quiet rebels.
The ones who didn’t grow up on the mat, but still feel called to it—
not for performance, but for power.
We use judo as our foundation.
Not just to teach technique—but to build traits that last.
Grit. Strength. Control. Identity.
Because this sport can change more than your body.
It can reshape how you see yourself—and how you move through the world.
Right now, GGG is built around two things:
✅ Physical challenges that sharpen your edge
✅ A real community that backs your growth
No belt flexing. No judgment.
Just purpose, progress, and people who train like it means something.
You don’t need a perfect past.
You just need to begin.
Welcome to GGG.
You belong here. You grow here.
Our team
ANNA JANOVICS
Founder of Grip Grind Glory
Anna is the founder and fire behind Grip Grind Glory.
She didn’t grow up on the mat.
She started judo at 40—not because it was easy, but because it felt like a fight worth choosing.
A way to reclaim strength—not just in her body, but in who she was becoming.
That choice became a movement.
As a resilience coach and lifelong challenger, Anna built GGG for the judoka who don’t fit the mould; the late starters, the rebuilders, the ones training for meaning—not medals.
She shapes the journey—the voice behind the podcast, the drive behind the message, and the mindset behind every challenge.
When you join GGG, you’re not just following a program; you’re walking alongside someone still in the fight—still growing, still showing up.
Just like you.
BALAZS CSEPES
Master Coach,
Co-founder of Grip Grind Glory
Balazs is the technical mind behind Grip Grind Glory—a lifelong judoka with over 40 years on the mat.
He’s coached everyone from first-timers to national medallists—
but it’s the people, not the podiums, that drive him.
His style is grounded, direct, and deeply human.
He believes real progress doesn’t come from more technique—it comes from building the traits that judo demands.
At GGG, Balazs designs the physical system:
structured challenges that develop grip, balance, endurance, and speed—
the foundations most judoka never get enough time to train.
Every rep is intentional.
Every drill builds the athlete you're becoming.
What sets him apart isn’t just his knowledge—
it’s his belief that judo, taught with care and clarity, can change how you carry yourself in life.
Quietly intense, razor-sharp, and endlessly committed—
Balazs isn’t just your coach.
He’s the standard behind the system.
