He also initiated a project to publish a booklet documenting the history of the same sports club and the history of sport in the municipality in general (i.e. sport movement Sokol, meaning “falcon”, was a gymnastic, cultural, and national revival movement founded in the 19th century among Slavic peoples of Central and Eastern Europe).

Its core aim was physical education combined with moral, civic, and national consciousness.). The publication covered several decades of social and sporting life and had a significant impact on the majority of existing sports clubs in the municipality.

In 2017, he received a special plaque from the National Olympic Committee of Slovenia – Association of Sports Federations, in recognition of his contribution to the development and promotion of ju-jitsu in Slovenia and Europe. He is also a member of the General Assembly of the NOC Slovenia.

From 2016 to 2025, he served as President of the Ju-Jitsu European Union (JJEU), following many years of service as its Secretary General, and as Vice-President of the Ju-Jitsu International Federation (JJIF). For many years, the JJEU has actively promoted Fair Play, particularly through the Fair Play Trophy awards presented at major European tournaments, including championships and other top-level events. Throughout the history of the Fair Play Trophies, recipients have included not only athletes, but also officials and team doctors. In 2019, for the first time, the annual “Christian Blareau Fair Play Award” for excellence in ethics and Fair Play was presented for the year 2018. The award originates from deep respect for the late JJEU President, Mr Christian Blareau, and his outstanding contribution to martial arts, particularly to the development and promotion of ju-jitsu, as well as his exemplary sportsmanship, professionalism, and active role in the European Fair Play Movement.
