could say that this Goton Po was a continuation of the last years. The
training begun on the place called Elenacki Karpi, where the students
of Bujinkan Macedonia
were learning how to climb and get down from rocks without any
protection gear, actually, only with the help of a rope and sword
(boken). After that, techniques for climbing with the use of two knifes
and with the help of a partner were studied.
Later,
with the help of instructor Igor Dovezenski, the older students taught
the younger ones how to make a trap, and the best part of the seminar
was the arranged action for surprising the “enemy chasers”.
After that there was explanation and making of the so called Fire Ball, which will be studied further on another seminar.
Apart
from these skills, the students were introduced to healing plants and
the use of their surroundings in case of survival in nature. The
seminar was successful besides the hot and moist weather, which tried
to influence the physical and psychical abilities of the students.

in this friendly country. At the seminar which was held in Budva and
perfectly organized, around 60 people from several countries
participated.
During
the two days of the seminar, Shihan Edward Martin (Papa San) has taught
the techniques such as defense from a knife, but the bare hand fight
(taijutsu) as well. The Hungarian Shihan, our very close friend David
Holt, has also helped.
As
always, among the technical part of the seminar, the teacher Edward
Martin involved the teaching on the mental aspects of the fight
(through kuden), accompanying it with the various examples from his
very rich experience as budoka.
It was nice to see our old friends from the clubs with which Bujinkan Macedonia have long-lasting good relations. 
In
the breaks between sessions, our 7-member team was visiting this
tourist centre’s city beach and used the boon of the sea, while the
evenings were reserved for the party in the historic town.
At
the closure ceremony, the seminar organizer Predrag Lazarevic gave the
Bujinkan Macedonia representative Igor Dovezenski, a special
recognition for the Development of Bujinkan in Montenegro.
We wish all our friends to continue to organize such as wonderful seminars as this one was.
Gambate!

the leadership of Igor Dovezenski, Dojo Cho in Ninjutsu Union Bujinkan

Before

Kuden (verbal teaching), but also, he emphasized the importance of the
psychological readiness while practicing the techniques in sword
fighting.

that, the basic body stances (kamae no kata) were practiced by which
the ways of attack – cutting from each of the kamae were explained. The

sword combat application of the same (shinken gata).
Dovezenski
sensei explained every technique on a pretty high level and with many
details, and in the end he taught the students of the special ways of
movement (tai sabaki) while in a sword fight, after which the movement
was studied through the Ichi no Kamae stance and the Tsuki (stabbing)
technique.
In the end the participants from the beginners group of the Pat kon Sonceto Skopje dojo (Taiyou e no michi Skopje) received compliments for showing satisfactory results on the seminar.

Seminar with the shihan Sveneric Bogsater held in Macedonia

Posted on Categories Uncategorized

2d85b75b-923e-4b15-aeda-f38f777810ad.jpgAround
40 participants from four Balkan countries took part at the seminar
with the great ninjutsu master Sveneric Bogsater that was held in the
capital of Macedonia, Skopje. Most of them were members of the Bujinkan Union of Macedonia (Bujinkan Dojo Macedonia), while the others came from Serbia, Montenegro and Greece.
It is hard to describe the feeling to be a host to Sveneric. It is even harder to describe the joy of practice with him.
The
great master begun the first day of the seminar with the explanation of
the Jissen Giho theme, and the movement on the line between life and
death. Then, something that never happened on a seminar before, took
place. Through variations of techniques, the sensei explained to the
participants about the body vital points (Kyu Sho), starting from the
head to the toes, and the impact to one’s body if they are kicked,
pressed or rubbed. Although the techniques were painful, no one could
hide the excitement from this kind of development of the seminar.
The
shihan dedicated the second part of the first day of seminar to the
white belts and taught Sanshin no Kata in the very unique way that made
black belts feel like beginners.
Second day was dedicated to the Hiden no Kempo theme,
or the way of movement in the fight as well as hidden movements along.
Knife, boken and hanbo techniques were practiced. Also, the shihan
Bogsater demonstrated the usage of the internal energy through
techniques, which was breathtaking for the newer practitioners.
At
the end of the seminar the shihan expressed his satisfaction from the
positive energy and the diligence of the participants, and especially
praised our girls for their movement and the understanding of this
martial art.
As a Bujinkan Dojo Macedonia
representative, an organizer of the seminar and as a main ninjutsu
instructor in our union, I would like to express my personal
impressions. First of all, I would like to thank all my students who
helped me in the organization of this remarkable event. Gratefulness to
our friends from the neighborhood as well, with whom we shared our
common values and desires for three days.
And finally, a great appreciation to the master Sveneric Bogsater for all (life) lessons he taught me to while enjoying Skopje streets, restaurants and cafés. That is a truly priceless experience for me.

Buki Mamori Buki seminar held

Posted on Categories Uncategorized

46879d46-fd2c-4eaa-84b9-afe6db8e6a9a.jpgThe
weather conditions and the way of training, effected an atmosphere like
that one in the “old school” ninjutsu times during the seminar Buki
Mamori Buki.
Temperature
under zero, cold wind, occasionally with snows and winter golden sun
light at the same time, made the seminar be special and, for sure,
remembered for long.
The instructor of Bujinkan Macedonia,
Igor Dovezenski, started the seminar introducing to the students the
history and the way of use of the weapons that were provided the
training day.
Then,
in detail, were explained and studied the techniques of defense from
weapon with weapon, such as, hanbo against tanto, jo against katana,
kusari gama against katana, and jute against shinobi katana.
During
the six hours long training, the students practice only twelve
techniques (with three henka on each combination with weapon). They
were training with great desire, with such a dedication, that simply
force the instructor Igor Dovezenski to explain the techniques on much
higher level.
At the end of the seminar, two techniques of hojo jutsu (skil of using a rope for binding) were demonstrated.
This
was a seminar that would be sure remembered for a long time, as for the
way of training, also for the high level of practice, and the students
brains were full with informations.

Seminar with master Kacem Zoughari in Novi Sad

Posted on Categories Uncategorized

f363d8f5-27a2-459c-bede-ec50ab2a6b1c.jpgThe founder and chief instructor of Ninjutsu Union Bujinkan Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski, participate in international ninjutsu seminar during this weekend, 31.01.– 01.02. 2009 year, in Novi Sad, Republic of Serbia.

The
seminar was organized by our buyus Srgjan Stankovic and Srgjan
Crnogorac, and there were almost a 100 participants, so we can say that
it was one of the largest ninjutsu seminars in Balkan region.

The participants were from Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro, Romania and Macedonia.
Kacem
Zoughari, doctor of japanise history and culture, was the leader of the
seminar. He is personal student of shihan Tetsuji Ishizuka.

The
teaching of Kacem extorted sighs during these two days. His performance
of the technique was blameless, and his work with katana was amazingly
fast and effective. He explained the meaning of the techniques, and
their history.

Gyokko
Ryu Koshijutsu was the school that we trained. At first, each technique
was performed with bare hands (taijutsu), and after that with hanbo
(stick) and katana (sword).

Saturday
night, all black belts were invated to join the party at the
Petrovaradin fortress. Master Kacem nicely gave answers to all
questions about the history of ninjutsu and the ryu ha of Bujinkan.

Igor Dovezenski was sparing with buyu from Romania, Cristian Laiber, and with old friend of Bujinkan Macedonia – shihan Filip Bartos from Czech Republic. It was great feeling to see all buyu’s gathered at one place.

Simply, we can say that the seminar was unforgettable and the hosts made great organization.
