Training has helped him cope with difficult times and stay on a steady course in life. \u201cThanks to combat sports, I\u2019ve found a great deal of inner peace and gotten through difficult times. The sport has kept me away from foolishness and perhaps even the wrong people. At the same time, it has brought the right people into my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"fight-quote\">\n  <p>&quot;Thanks to combat sports, I\u2019ve found a great deal of inner peace and gotten through difficult times.&quot;<\/p>\n  <cite>\u2014 Endriike K\u00e4\u00e4nik<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The camaraderie among the athletes training at Invictas is also evident on fight nights, when they come together as a large team to cheer each other on. According to K\u00e4\u00e4nik, this didn\u2019t happen overnight, but has developed through shared training sessions and experiences. \u201cWe have our own tight-knit group. When someone comes to training and we see that they\u2019re a person with a big heart, we always welcome them into our circle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a6c65a6b9d71&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a6c65a6b9d71\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/theclash.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monika-Kuzmina-ja-Endrike-Kaanik-Foto-Risto-Stukert-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-114125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theclash.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monika-Kuzmina-ja-Endrike-Kaanik-Foto-Risto-Stukert-1.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/theclash.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monika-Kuzmina-ja-Endrike-Kaanik-Foto-Risto-Stukert-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/theclash.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monika-Kuzmina-ja-Endrike-Kaanik-Foto-Risto-Stukert-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/theclash.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monika-Kuzmina-ja-Endrike-Kaanik-Foto-Risto-Stukert-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theclash.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monika-Kuzmina-ja-Endrike-Kaanik-Foto-Risto-Stukert-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theclash.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monika-Kuzmina-ja-Endrike-Kaanik-Foto-Risto-Stukert-1-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theclash.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monika-Kuzmina-ja-Endrike-Kaanik-Foto-Risto-Stukert-1-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Monika Kuzmina and Endrike K\u00e4\u00e4nik.

At first, he planned to get stronger at the gym and only then join Invictus. Now he encourages even those young people who feel insecure, are shy, or face bullying at school to come to practice. \u201cWe\u2019re not arrogant, and we don\u2019t make fun of anyone. On the contrary\u2014if someone comes to training and does their thing, we have a lot of respect for that.

As he prepares for the competition, the volume of training increases, leaving less time for other work. \u201cWhen you\u2019re preparing for a match, it\u2019s pretty tough financially because you\u2019re completely focused on training.
