In 1916, Laskowski joined the Polish Gymnastic Society "Sokół" in Warsaw.[3] He trained boxing, athletics and fencing.[3] He won two épée Polish championships (1929, 1931), and one sabre Polish championship (1930).[3] In the 1930s, he was a fencing and boxing coach at the Central Institute for Physical Exercise in Warsaw.[3]
