The twins were born in Zvornik, in Bosnia, but when they were eight months old moved with their parents to Pressbaum in Austria because of the war in Bosnia. They began their martial arts training at the age of 6, and are members of the Jiu Jitsu Goshindo club in Pressbaum, where they have been trained by Robert Horak. The twins graduated together from education in law enforcement and work in Mödling District.
