4th Dan Karate

Goran began Judo in 1972 at the age of seven. In 1984 he moved to London and trained in Shotokan karate, Kyokushinkai and Taekwondo before settling on Goju Ryu karate. In 1999 he joined Daigaku Karate Kai and completed the gruelling 30 Man Kumite in 2002, writing up the experience in his bestselling book Waking Dragons.

In 2007 he achieved the rank of 4th Dan after demonstating skill in modern and traditional weaponry. Goran still teaches and trains regularly in central London and is assistant coach to the MMA team DKK Fighters.
