OTHERS ABOUT ME.
Hi, my name is Brando Peričić, and I am a professional MMA fighter and a heavyweight prospect for the UFC. I train under the world-renowned coach Eugene Bareman at the famous (City Kickboxing) gym, alongside great UFC fighters like Israel Adesanya, Alexander Volkanovski, Dan Hooker, Carlos Ulberg, Kai Kara-France, and many others. In 2019, I had the incredible opportunity to represent Australia at the WAKO Kickboxing World Championships, where I met the esteemed coach Marjan Bolhar, who taught me so much in a short amount of time. At that stage in my career, I was relatively new to the sport. Although I didn’t win, I represented my country well, losing a close fight to a former World and European Champion. This experience had a significant impact on my career and instilled in me the confidence to pursue my dreams. Now, I train at one of the best gyms in the world, and I am excited to represent not only my birthplace of Australia but also my heritage from the Balkans. Thank you for all your help, Marjan; you are a legend.

With a blend of agility, power, and strategic precision, he exhibited outstanding technique and sportsmanship in every bout. Despite the tough competition, Marjan’s relentless drive and unwavering focus set him apart, culminating in a remarkable victory in his division.

Marjan’s performance not only earned admiration and respect from competitors and spectators alike but also reinforced his status as a living legend in the kickboxing world.
I was lucky enough to train with Marjan as we were getting ready for the K1 world titles. He provided us with world class information and support and was definitely appreciated. He is a great coach and very capable.
Marjan is not only an exceptional athlete but also a remarkable individual. I had the chance to meet him and referring on his fights during the Wako Oceania championship in New Zealand. The audience was captivated by his remarkable skills and sportsmanship. Marjan also graciously assisted Team Australia by inviting them to train in Slovenia before the World championships, creating unforgettable moments and memories for the team. Can’t wait to meet you again
Professional approach and transfer of knowledge in a way that inspires, motivates and ensures progress. He showed me that my limits/abilities are higher than I had set for myself.
Marjan and I are united by our love for sports and training for strength sports. After several joint trainings and socializing, I know Marjan as a versatile athlete who, despite all his achievements, has maintained sober thoughts and modesty, but by no means modest goals.
When training with Marjan, you go to a higher level of physical effort. You can see for yourself how fit your body is. In training with Marjan, you go to a higher level of physical effort. You can see for yourself how fit your body is.
Marjan is a fighter in the true sense of the word. What I admire most about him is what kind of person he is. Dedicated, compassionate and warm-hearted. 🙏
Absolute Warrior and Gentleman. Cheers 🍻
I also trained individually with Marjan, where he helped me improve my boxing/kickboxing techniques, where he is a real master in every sense of the word!
I think you are an excellent coach with a wealth of knowledge. You competing in NZ was very eye opening and i was grateful to learn from you mate 👍
I did one month of individual training with Marjan. Considering that it was my first encounter with kickboxing, I was impressed by Marjan's work and approach even after the first training session. The training sessions were very interesting and the entire work was professional, at the highest level. I will definitely come back 💪
Marjana ne morem dovolj priporočiti kot trenerja, človeka in prijatelja. Izjemno je izkušen in zelo koristen pri pomoči avstralski ekipi pri pripravah na svetovno prvenstvo. Je zelo zanesljiv, zaupanja vreden in prijazen. Leta 2019 in 2023 nas je podprl s svojim vodenjem in veščinami kickboksa.
Great respect for Marjan Bolhar as a fighter, mentor, friend & coach. I met Marjan 6 years ago at the Oceania titles held in Melbourne. Marjan fighting for the k1 oceanic Wako title. Marjan’s performance was that of such a high standard resulting in a great win & becoming the new oceanic champion. A year later I was to meet Marjan again in Italy as a guest trainer for the junior Australian kickboxing team. Where Marjan held a 2hr seminar/training session for our juniors which was extremely helpful & we were extremely grateful on his knowledge & assistance to help improve our skill level for the junior world championships. The following year Marjan assisted the Australian senior Wako team over in Slovenia were again he had assisted our fighters in an 2hr training session to help prepare us further for the fights ahead in Bosnia. Marjan is a great ambassador for martial arts & his friendship is valued, he has been nothing but a gentleman to myself & all involved with the Wako Australian kickboxing team.
You are an incredibly experienced and talented athlete. Competing against you taught me so much, and you caught me with some amazing kicks.
Congratulations on your fantastic performance in Canada and your fighting career!
Marjan is full of energy and will to work, full of tips for a proper and healthy way of life. I had the honor to train with him a few times during the preparation period, he is a great person and a real hard worker.
The training is brutal, he really focuses on you and improves the details you lack. Every training session is different, even when you're exhausted at the end, it encourages you to really give 200% of yourself 💪
I represented Australia at the WAKO 2019 World Games along with a small team of experienced fighters. We were lucky to have Marjan as one of our coaches who guided us at the games and in the lead up to the games. Marjan shared his experience with myself and the team and made the world games in Bosnia one to remember. Marjan is great person and was an asset to the Australian team.
With his performances at the European Cup in Karlovac, Marjan Bolhar lit up the face of all Slovenians because he showed top technique and tactics, with which he won the championship belts of the European Cup. In addition to his almost perfect sports performance, Marjan left the impression of a very high-quality person and made numerous international friendships.
It was awesome meeting Marjan and to have him be apart of the Australian team while we were in training camp in Slovenia. We were lucky to have such a champion supporting us while on our way to worlds. Top bloke 💪👏👊
Marjan and I have known each other for a long time, ever since the kickboxing competitions we participated in as part of the national team. I have never met anyone with such determination, discipline, and a huge heart for the sport. His approach inspires both young and old alike. "Marjan, hats off to you."
