David Rovcanin
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
David, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brownbelt, has been an active athlete from an early age, but in 2010 everything changed when he crossed path with the gentle art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
The fighting was what hooked him up, but the culture, the people, the history and the discipline of the principles he learned was what changed his life forever. Life altered for the better of it and from that moment on, he knew what he would do for the rest of his life.
Since then he has been teaching and working with people who share the same passion and energy, and whenever the opportunity arises he actively competes. He strongly believes no man or woman in their lifetime should miss the opportunity to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and develop the three most important skills this martial art offers: learn how to defend themselves and their loved ones, develop physical endurance and mental capacity of never cracking under pressure.
"Every single one of us is a fighter, no matter some people feel the other way. If you are competent enough to get up every morning to breathe, eat and sleep, you are a capable human being with the potential capacity of being a warrior."
