The seminar titled `The strenght of Yari – tactics and strategy`, which yesterday took place on the hill Orljak, opened new prospects for the students who attended the event.

Namely, while last year they enjoyed exploring the efficiency and power of the spear, this time they were completely convinced of it`s efficiency and supremacy against an opponent armed with a different weapon.

The seminar began with a lecture and a training about the basic techniques of striking and blocking with a katana (sword) and with yari (spear). Then it carried on to a practice of different battle scenarios (katas) which included spear against sword and spear against spear.
At the end, formational combat techniques were practiced, and same as last year, the students of Bujinkan Macedonia enjoyed the variety of tactics and strategy of this way of combat.

Regarding the weather conditions, during the day they were constantly changing from sunny to cloudy and vice versa, but the temperature at some times was extremely low while the north wind was trying to diminish the will of the attendees unsuccesfully. After the end, some of them asked this seminar, next year to be a two-day seminar.

After last year`s `The strength of Yari` seminar, this year we decided to have another one with a similar theme. The difference will be in that we won`t be learning any kata this year, but techniques concerning defense from swords, spears as well as formation fighting. Toward that end, we will practice on specially prepared practice dummies, in order to feel the spirit from the past as well as to gain a more realistic picture of spear combat.

`The school of Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu uses the following weapons: Yari (spear), Ono (war axe), O Tsuchi (warhammer), Tachi (sword) and Naginata. The legend says that one night, a demon (Tengu) came to the founder of the art in a dream and taught him the secrets of Yari combat. These techniques are even today considered the biggest secret of the school.`

On the 16th of october, the instructor Igor Dovezenski will hold the 10th outdoor seminar this year.
This outdoor seminars in the Bujinkan Macedonia dojo are it`s trademark and regularly held from the very founding of the Taiyou e no Michi organization.
We believe that training in an urban and closed environment can never get us close to feeling the battle conditions on the battlefields, so we regularly hold outdoor seminars and try to get a glimpse of the spirit of the past.

Any member of the Bujinkan Macedonia / Taiyou e no Michi can take part on this seminar.
