Ninja Warrior Poland Career[]
Ninja Warrior Poland[]
In his first appearance, Jakub appeared in Heat 2, finishing the track with a time of 01:26 which gave him the first spot on the leaderboard. In the semi-finals, he was one of the two participants, as he completed the track in full with a time of 01:55, which guaranteed himself a spot in the finals.
In the finals, he quickly became one of the best participants, as he was one of only four who completed Stage One before the time expired, including the most difficult obstacles of the stage, such as Cannonball Drop, Window Hang and Spider Jump, he was the third to do so that season and with the slowest time out of the four. On Stage Two, he completed the timed part of the course in exactly 70 seconds, he was the only one to make it to the untimed part of the course, but fell on the first obstacle, the Floating Boards, going from the second board to the third board and later earning the title of Last Man Standing.
Ninja Warrior Poland 2[]
Jakub returned to compete in Ninja Warrior Poland 2 to defend the Last Man Standing title from the 1st edition. In Heat 1, he finished the course with a time of 03:16, which gave him the second place on the leaderboard and guaranteed himself a spot to the semi-finals. In the Semi-final, however, he failed on the penultimate, fourth obstacle, which was the Circuit Board. This time around, he did not advance to the finals, because the last competitor, Mateusz Karbowy, finished the course as 4th and dropped him on the fifth place in the table.
Ninja Warrior Poland 5[]
Jakub took part in Ninja Warrior Poland 5which marked the first time since Ninja Warrior Poland 2. His performance was shown in Heat 5 alongside two other Last Man Standings from seasons 2 and 3, he had the 3rd fastest time on the leaderboard, just missing out on the chance to compete on the Power Tower by less than two seconds. In the semi-finals, he got his revenge on the fourth obstacle (this time being the Window Hang) as well as finishing the course with the fastest time and advanced to the grand final. On Stage One, he was one of fourteen competitors to complete the second obstacle, Rolling Escargot, but shockingly failed the fourth obstacle, Walk the Plank, marking the end of his comeback.
Ninja Warrior Poland 6[]
Jakub would come back for Ninja Warrior Poland 6. He would make it back to the Finals and would clear Stage One like many others in that tournament and also marked the first time he did so since the first season of Ninja Warrior Poland. Jakub was the first competitor to attempt Stage Two and he would put up a strong run. However, he would start to gas out on the third and final set of The Clacker, Jakub did not have enough power to lift a side of the clacker, causing it to fall back and making him lose his grip and fall into the water, ending his season on Stage Two for the first time.

Jakub would return for Ninja Warrior Poland 7. He would make it back to Stage Two in the Finals, where he failed the dismount on the Unstable Bridge, losing his grip and falling backwards while swinging.
Ninja Warrior Poland 8[]
Jakub would come back for Ninja Warrior Poland 8. He was expected to make it back to Stage Two in the grand final, but couldn't even make it to the finals as he suffered from an elbow dislocation after completing the Window Hang in semifinals and had to withdraw from the competition, marking the first time since Ninja Warrior Poland 2 that he failed to advance past the semifinals round.
