Marian Bartko and Adriana Nagyova are from Kosice [Ko.shi.tse], eastern Slovakia.

They both have been interested in martial arts since they were teenagers. If we count the years together they've been practicing martial arts it’s an astounding 66! In the last 16 years they’ve become passionate about iaido and jodo.

In 2008 they attended the European Iaido Championship for the first time and since then they slowly built up the Slovak iaido and then later jodo national teams. Through endurance, diligence and encouraging each other, they made their little country with their accomplishments visible in Europe.

Marian holds godan in iaido, the highest rank in Slovakia and Adriana yondan. They both achieved the rank of yondan in jodo.
