Wing Chun Kung Fu instructor at the martial arts club "Srebrenica", Isak Iso Dzanic, is the first Bosnian national ever to be nominated for the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

Dzanic received an invitation to attend an awards ceremony in the USA from July 20 to 22 this year.

Dzanic is retired and receives only 240 BAM monthly. He survived thanks to agriculture, as he owns twenty sheep and two goats.

He said that this invitation represents a great honour and recognition, something he never even imagined would happen.

However, he added that he is still not sure whether he will be able to attend the ceremony, considering the high travel costs.

“I hope that I will get a visa in time and somehow collect money to go to this event,” he told N1.
