Alex is the first Serb who ever started learning Russian Martial Art in Vladimir Vasiliev's school in Toronto, more than 10 years ago. After years of intensive training, today he is certified senior instructor. When in Toronto, he is teaching in Mr. Vasiliev's school several classes a week. When ever he is in Serbia, he is training members of his club Vukovi (the Wolves).

 

Training trips to Russia (Moscow and St. Petersburg) expanded his knowledge and experience. At first place that were classes with Mikhail Rybko. While in Russia, he also visited Tropa as learned Slaviano-Goretskaya Borba, fist fighting by Gruntovsky, military style of A. Kadochnikov, and other Russian folk styles.

 

Alex has also vast experience in security business.

 

During the past few years he trained with fighters preparing for UFC, Price, Vale Tudo, NHB and other 'open style' competitions. His 'pre Systema' experience includes Shotokan karate and Taekwondo. Being philosopher by education and vocation, he is very interested in psychical, psycho-physical and Slavic (folk, fundamental, spiritual) aspect of the Systema approach to life.

Stefan Bozic

ImageStefan started training in 2004. Systema provided him the opportunity to understand that martial arts need holistic approach, without taking technical aspects for granted. Aleksandar Kostic reckognized his potential and directed him to learn from top notch grappling and MMA instructors parallel to Russian Martial Art trainings.

 

Today, complement to Systema, he trains MMA, which is known as most complete system of sport fighting.

 

Interested in all open martial systems no matter modern or traditional, physiology-psychology and philosophical aspects of martial arts, and to contribute further to development and evolution of Serbian school of Systema.
