About me
Meet Marija
I am a boxing coach, your host, and the person behind Svilaja Tribe.
I created this week to share more than training. I wanted to bring people into the Croatia I know — homemade food, family, village life, hard mornings, loud laughter and long evenings around the fire.
I will coach you at your own level, take you to the people and places that make this mountain special, and make sure you feel part of the tribe from the first day. You do not need to arrive fit or fearless. Just curious, open, and ready to try.
This is personal to me. It is not a polished retreat programme — it is a piece of my life that I want to share with the right people.
In her own words
Seventy seconds on the mountain
No script, no drone shot, no polished voice-over. Just me on the terrace at the house, telling you what the mountain actually is — the bad road, the lack of water, the flies and the bees — and why none of that stops me from wanting to share it.
"This is the place where I feel most at peace. And I just wanted to share that with people."
Seven days. Six nights. Eight people. If something in this resonates, that is the sign — write to me and we will talk.

Years in the ring — boxing and muay thai, at home and abroad.
Everything I teach on the mountain comes from fighting, losing, learning and coaching. You do not have to fight. But you will be coached by someone who did — 17 years, more than 150 bouts, and a few medals along the way.
- 2× K1 World Champion
- 2× K1 European Champion
- Full Contact European Champion
- Silver, World Boxing Cup — Cologne
- Best female boxer of the Balkans
- Multiple-time Croatian boxing champion
I fought my way from Split to Paris, Amsterdam, Thailand and London — and boxed for Croatia at the World Championships. These days the medals live in a drawer. What stayed is everything fighting taught me, and that is what I share up here.
Come and train with me.
