BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU ACADEMY
PROGRESS BEYOND HYPE
ABOUT FLOW JIU JITSU
Flow Jiu Jitsu is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy based in Skopje, R.Macedonia.Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a knowledge-based grappling martial art that requires continuous learning and refinement.
Its competitive nature as a combat sport demands technical understanding, strategic thinking, and continuous problem-solving focus.Through structured learning and live, dynamic sparring, we develop practical skills rather than relying on pure athleticism or brute strength.This unique combination of multiple aspects goes beyond being a purely physical activity.Our goal is to provide a positive, challenging, and encouraging environment where students can learn, test, and develop their understanding of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.Through this process, guided by discipline, personal growth and technical development become natural outcomes.
HEAD COACH
Marjan Zikov began his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey in 2014 as a natural progression from his longstanding background in concept-based martial arts.Throughout his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey, he has continuously tested his skills through competition and dedicated training.This path led him twice to the highest level of international competition, the IBJJF European Championship in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2017 and 2019.His most notable achievement was being a medalist at IBJJF European Championship in Lisbon, Portugal in 2017.Despite a rib injury that prevented him from continuing, he secured a place on the podium among the top competitors in the event.In 2021, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic, Marjan founded Flow Jiu Jitsu with the support and guidance of Mark Hobbs (UK).This mentorship, developed through extensive private training and instruction over the years, played a crucial role in reshaping his understanding of the art, technical approach, and coaching philosophy.Throughout his journey, Marjan has continued to expand his understanding of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu through training and exchange with different academies and practitioners from all around the world.After more than a decade of training and development, he achieved the rank of black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.Marjan Zikov is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under Mark Hobbs (UK).Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt lineage:Mitsuyo Maeda → Carlos Gracie → Carlson Gracie → Rocian Gracie Jr. → Fabio Gomez → Ricardo Da Silva → Mark Hobbs → Marjan ZikovFlow Jiu Jitsu brings together decades of experience and a lifelong passion for martial arts.At Flow Jiu Jitsu, his focus is on building strong fundamentals, technical understanding, and confidence through structured, modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training — creating an environment where every student can progress regardless of age, experience, or athletic background.
