The path to teaching

He started training karate at the age of six under master Šemso Šehić. He holds a 1st dan black belt, having passed his black belt exam at thirteen. He also trained kickboxing and achieved top results at national championships.

Later he expanded his training with judo and ju-jitsu and took part in national and international competitions.

He has practised Kung Fu since 2009. He trained for ten years under master Shifu Shi Heng Dao at the Shaolin Temple of Slovenia and has continued his path independently since 2019.

He also explores taijiquan, wing chun and modern movement practices. He completed professional coaching education at the Faculty of Sport in Ljubljana, gaining additional knowledge in coaching, pedagogy and safe practice.

He holds a degree in computer science and informatics. He combines an analytical and systematic way of thinking with experiential knowledge of Eastern practices, where understanding develops not only through explanation but also through movement, breath, repetition and direct experience.

In his teaching, he therefore seeks a bridge between Eastern and Western perspectives and between mind and body—two worlds that often speak different languages. The mind wants to understand, analyse and name, while the body learns through sensation, experience and presence. The purpose of practice is to gradually connect both approaches into a more complete understanding of movement and oneself.
