koryuјануари 26, 2014Uncategorized

The instructor of Bujinkan Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski, on 2nd February is organizing a seminar for all elder students in the dojo, on subject: Shinden Fudo ryu Dakentaijutsu. That means that at this event only those that have the title sempai or a degree from 2nd kyu (and above) can participate.

During the event a preparation for the upcoming testing for sempai Zoran Todorovski for a master degree – shodan (1st dan) will be held.

This will be a great opportunity for all our older students to better their knowledge, and at the same time to try the techniques without fear for the safety of the beginners, or as we say, „to beat each other freely“.

Date: 02 February, 2014

Time: 11.00 – 15.00 hours

Fee: free

The fourth in a row „Winter Ninja Training“ held

koryuјануари 26, 2014Uncategorized

At the fourth in a row „Winter Ninja Training“, two of the students of shidoshi Igor Dovezenski were tested for the arts of survival in winter conditions. In addition, shidoshi ho Marko successfully passed the test and earned a certificate that confirms his knowledge in this area too.

Before the beginning of the seminar, all participants were divided in two teams, that were led by shidoshi ho Marko Opachikj and kohai Todor Angelovski. Afterwards, they were given directions and tasks that had to be fulfilled in six hours. At the end, shidoshi Dovezenski graded the leaders in 17 criteria for building a shelter, crafting a weapon and traps, as well as knowing the environment and the nature surrounding them. Ten questions followed, and the scores were summed up and showed the level of knowledge of the participants.

Although kohai Todor Angelovski didn’t have enough points to pass the test, he showed excellent knowledge in the arts of winter survival, and regarding his age and youth, as well as his speed of learning the techniques, we are certain that on the next testing he is going to show great results.

After the end of the seminar, shidoshi ho Marko, on the internal Forum, published the following text.

„I think there is no certificate, diploma or a belt that are greater than the words of Sensei that he is pleased with his students. This is proof that the previous two partakes in the seminars weren’t in vain, that the sacrifice and the effort paid off and that certain students alertly followed his every lecture. Frankly, before the event I was frightened to let Sensei down, especially that I was the only one with „three winter survivals“ and that several students that started to learn the arts from me participated on this event. Therefore, I didn’t want to let them down either. Several days before the event I studied the notes that I had written and I think that paid off. We synchronized well with my assistants, the obedience and the effort was on a very high level and I even left them several very important tasks to work on, just to see how they’ll manage. I am too pleased of them. Afterwards Sensei graded us and pointed us the defects. Of course, there were a lot. After the grading, our ‘clan’ got the certificate. I don’t say it’s mine, because without my assistants I wouldn’t have earned it. Mihail is going even deeper into the art, Moni already looks like a leader, and for Jovan this was a great indicator where he needs to be heading next. I thank them. Congratulations to Toshe and his team too. He now knows where his mistakes are and I am sure the next time he will „kick ass“. He is intelligent, but he lacked experience.

I don’t know what to say about Sensei, I think he is really happy for what we all achieved. We don’t stop here. We have more to learn, many more things that Sensei pointed out that we did wrong, and that is a great motivator for the next year so we can be better. His teaching is thorough, with many examples, and at the same time fun, critical, easy to understand, has a point and most importantly – useful. It took four years for me to get over the basics of the winter survival. On the beginning you participate, follow and help. Afterwards you try to do something by yourself (shelter, to light a fire, to make a trap). That is the only Path and the only way. We will see each other the next year again. Congratulations to all that participated, and big thanks Sensei for the teaching today and for all past years. Osu!!!“

Report for 2013

koryuјануари 3, 2014Uncategorized

In last year’s report, we mentioned that for the first time since our founding we aren’t 100% satisfied with our results. That was so due to the fact that some of our advanced students have quit training and left our dojo. The long years of practice and friendship resulted in a strong emotional connection and as a result, sadness because of their absence.

However, it seems that we are past that now. We’ve grown up and realized that not everyone can follow the Path. We realized that we shouldn’t be sad for those that leave, but be happy for those that keep on walking side-by-side with us. Those that share in the happiness and grief that takes place in the dojo. In the end, it proved that many that once left, return to us and continue walking on the Path.

This past year was a great success for the Organization for studying classical Japanese martial arts “Taiyou e no Michi”.

We began with organizing international seminars in our country. At our immense pleasure, the shihan Antonino Certa, our Daito Ryu Aikibudo teaches paid us a several-day visit. He held a seminar in our dojo under Lipac, becoming the first koryu teacher to teach in our Hombu. Concerning recent events in the European Daito Kai organization, the instructor Igor Dovezenski was given the responsibility of spreading and teaching Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu on the territory of South-eastern Europe as a shibu-cho (branch leader) in Macedonia. Additionally, he gained the shodan (master) degree gaining the title Shidoin.

At the beginning of the year, instructor Igor Dovezenski visited Amsterdam (Netherlands) for a week, becoming a personal student to shidosha Erik Louw. Sensei Louw is one of the first non-Japanese masters of the oldest martial school, Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu. In September, Dovezenski gave a blood oath (keppan) in front of the chief shihan for this ancient art, Nobutoshi Otake, and with the permission of sensei Louw, opened the first section for Katori Shinto Ryu in Macedonia and in the Balkans.

As for the domestic seminars, this year we did break some records. All three dojos of Taiyou e no Michi held a total of 21 seminars during which shidoshi Dovezenski selflessly shared his knowledge with his students. Six of the seminars were held in the Skopje dojo, nine were intensive and held in the Hombu dojo, and six were outdoor seminars. Additionally, Dovezenski held the traditional woman self-defense workshop as well as the all-important Ninja Summer Camp.

This year, for the last time we held out renown feats “Survial” and “The path of Shugenja”. It was a hard decision, but it had to be done. On the other hand, they will be switched with new events that will give our work an additional impulse.

In regards of other important events, it is worth mentioning the seminar organized by the MMA club “Strshlen”, at which instructor Igor Dovezenski taught about the Ninpo Ne Waza system. This cooperation will continue in the future, and Dovezenski would like to extend his readiness to help any martial arts practitioners that would like to know more about the classical Japanese martial arts (koryu).

During the December testing, 14 students passed the test for a higher degree. This was the first time that we held testing for children, during

during which Kosara D. and Ksenija D. successfully passed the 10th kyu test, and Bujinkan Macedonia gained a new sempai (Tina D.).

This year we had a couple of invitations to take part in the public media, but we realized that those opportunities aren’t the most appropriate to present our work, so we refused them. We were only present throughout the web portals that are mostly concerned with healthy living and sports.

At the end we should mention our new web page www.koryu.mk as well as the redesign of our other web pages – www.bujinkan.org.mk and www.daito.koryu.mk.

We are going to be practicing Koto Ryu Koppojutsu in 2014. We have a lot of plans in the new year and we hope that with hard work and dedication we will make them come true.

Ninpo Ikkan. Happy New 2014!!!

The last seminar for this year held

koryuјануари 3, 2014Uncategorized

Yeasterday in the Bujinkan Macedonia dojo in Skopje the last seminar for this year was organized, on subject: „Shinken Gata Chika

Maai Heiho“ or loosely translated: „Strategy for close combat“. On this seminar 14 of our members participated who five hours nonstop practiced these fast and dynamic techniques.

At the end of the seminar, the participants shared their impressions, so we will share some of them:

– After this seminar, blood was pumping for hours in my veins – Zoran T.

– The seminar was filled with positive energy and passion for more knowledge. At the end I felt happy and completely fulfilled – Taki G.

– Here we talk about training, about desires and smiles after five hours of punching, falling, throwing. We talk about discipline and obedience, about respecting the elders and the younger. We talk about a teacher that flawlessly performs the techniques and carefully follows our every strike, block and behavior. We talk about happy, smiling, joyful and energetic people, for one big family. With students like these, with training like this, a good seminar is inevitable – Marko O.

– Excellent seminar as always. Five hours hard training, sweating, punching, blocking, getting free from grips, tackling down, control and everything else. Combat with an opponent and controlling the situation around you. All who participated invested their maximum for every technique, from the beginners to the elders, and when you engage that much in the training, those five hours pass as five minutes – Vlatche A.

– There was no sun, but the day was beautiful and we did sweat a lot. Sensei greatest thanks for the wonderful ending of 2013 – Risto Riki Razbirash (Bogdanci)

– The seminar was unbelievably good, we learned a lot, recalled some things and for everything we’ve practiced I tried to do my best. After the first two hours, my concentration lowered slightly and I got 5 – 6 punches on my body, but quickly recovered. I thank for the seminar. When I could choose the next theme, I would choose something similar, so we can „bruise“ each other again – Mihail D.

– This is our second seminar and we really had a great time. We especially like the friendly relation and the dedication of the participants. Our only remark was that we would like events like this one to be organized more frequently – Maja and Angela.

Shidoshi Dovezenski held Ninpo Ne Waza seminar for the MMA fighters from the club „Strshlen“

koryuдекември 10, 2013Uncategorized

On an invitation from the coach of the MMA club „Strshlen“, Dr. Sinisha Stojanoski, instructor Igor Dovezenski held a full day

seminar for Ninpo Ne Waza. On this seminar techniques for positioning on the ground, transitions, techniques for control, strangling techniques, as well as techniques using levers on the joints were taught.

In addition, shidoshi Dovezenski always had respect for the discipline and the will for the mixed martial art fighters’ training, and so far he helped several individuals who wanted to increase their knowledge and to better their technique and skill. However, with this seminar, for the first time collaboration was achieved between the clubs and opportunity to represent and use the traditional Japanese martial arts in the training of the MMA fighters.

During the training, the members of the club „Strshlen“ tried their maximum to absorb the techniques that were shown while being assisted by two students of Bujinkan Macedonia. The first hour of training passed with a small dose of mistrust, but as the time passed the participants gradually showed respect more, so at the end the whole seminar ended in a great friendly atmosphere. The company was great, the barrier was completely destroyed and a path for further collaboration was opened.

At the end of the seminar, coach Stojanoski expressed gratitude for the selfless transfer of knowledge by the instructor of Bujinkan Macedonia, and shidoshi Dovezenski wished the members of „Strshlen“ success in the following tournaments.
