All business success is preceded by personal success. So imagine our happiness when our ORYX Assistance got upgraded by Ajdin Memi\u0161evi\u0107, a former successful karate player. Ajdin has been tackling and battling in the sales department of ORYX Assistance Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2020 and we couldn’t be more proud.<\/p>\n

Aside from his excellent sales skills, few people know that this 32-year old Sarajevo native used to do karate, winning awards at that! We sat down with him a few days ago to find out all about that.<\/p>\n

Ajdin, how did you take up karate and why specifically karate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started karate at the age of 9, thanks to Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies, and my father.<\/p>\n

My father also loved martial arts, he recognized that in me early on and enrolled me in classes. Why karate, you ask? Well, apart from sports, it teaches children discipline, self-control, perseverance and intuition. It turned out that my dad recognized his son’s talent, because eventually I became the national karate champion, the Balkan champion, won bronze at the USA Open in Las Vegas, and I also won fifth place at the European Championship.<\/p>\n

\nAre you still competing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, I haven’t competed in years. Sometimes I miss it, it’s hard to get rid of that routine. That’s why, even now, I sometimes go to practice, for the soul, and do training with the first competitive team in the club, not at full strength, but just so that I can defend myself.<\/p>\n

Now you are training new generations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That. I started working at the Champion karate club as a coach with younger selections back in 2005. In the beginning, I only assisted, and later I took over the selections. This fulfills me, I am happy with the successes of my students, both in sports and in life, many of them today are hardworking, honest and exemplary athletes, pupils and students.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Given that your father instilled in you a love for karate, do you see this tradition continuing with your own kids?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope so. My two-year-old is still small, he can only start training at the age of 4, but I just “know” he will follow in my footsteps. \ud83d\ude0a Blood is thicker than water. But no matter what he chooses, I’m here for him!<\/p>\n
