In today’s issue of the most read macedonian weekly magazine, „Tea Moderna“ , was published an article dedicated to the females from Bujinkan Macedonia.

As you know, „Tea Moderna“ is a magazine dedicated to culture, art and fashion, and has a print of over 100.000 magazines sold per week. That means that at least 500.000 Macedonians will read about the Bujinkan Dojo, which is a quarter of the population in our country.

The instructor of Bujinkan Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski, through his dojo is spreading the voice of the organization led by soke Masaaki Hatsumi for 15 years and has thus far made appearances in many written and electronic media, where he always raised great interest for the Japanese classic martial arts.

In the Hombu dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, under the guidance of the instructor Igor Dovezenski, was held a seminar with the theme Gokui Ne Waza (secrets of ground fighting).
The seminar had 21 attendants, who during the two days, studied techniques of unarmed combat in a sitting and laying down positions.

The seminar began with a short theoretical introduction to the history and techniques of Ne Waza, which was soon followed by some Taiso drills, followed by studying the Atemi Kyu Sho, Ukemi Taihenjutsu and Kamae.
The second session of the first day was dedicated to Osae Waza, tehcniques for holding and controlling the opponent.

The second day, during the first session, students had the opportunity of learning six techniques of joint locks, or Kansetsu Waza as well as many variants of those techniques.
The last session of the seminar was dedicated to choking techniques or Shime Waza. Instructor Dovezenski demonstrated nine of these, as well as a few of their variations.

Regardless of the pain caused by the reality of the training, also from the hardness of the parquet of our Dojo, the students (almost all of them) successfully finished the seminar, satisfied with the techniques learned during these two days.

The Ninjutsu Union Bujinkan Macedonia

announces a two-day seminar about:

Gokui Ne Waza (The secrets of groundfighting)

with the instructor Igor Dovezenski

As you may already know, in our dojo we pay great attention to the ground combat. In the schools of the Bujinkan these techniques exist in Takagi Yoshin Ryu, Shinden Fudo Ryu and Kukishinden Ryu. Many of the Takagi Yoshin Ryu kata, end with shime waza or kansetsu waza to the ground. Even though, the aforementioned techniques aren’t organized as kata, in the past every Bushi (warrior) was required to pay attention to the Ne Waza training.
We invite all martial arts enthusiasts to attend the seminar and learn more of the ninjutsu ground combat secrets. The seminar is open to everyone – regardless of level of knowledge or style.
This is an opportunity for everyone to increase their knowledge of the martial art that was centuries-long mystery even to the Japanese.

The
megapopular macedonian monthly „Life Magazine“, in it’s january
edition dedicated three pages to the School for classical japanese
martial arts Bujinkan Macedonia (Taiyou e no Michi).

The
event that made this posible was our traditional Women self-defense
workshop, which stirs a great amount of media attention.

Beside
the great presentation of the Bujinkan Dojo organization and soke
Masaaki Hatsumi, the members of our Dojo, Tina Dokovska and Zoran
Todorovski, demonstrated two woman self-defense techniques for the
public.

According
to the informations we got from the magazine’s editors, this theme
caused a great interest and as a result, further collaboration
between our club and „Life Magazine“ is discussed.

The
title of the article „Macedonian women study techniques of the
Japanese women-warriors“ stands on the front page of the magazine,
while in the text, besides the presentation of our club, there is a
short explanation about the nine schools of the Bujinkan Dojo, as well
as the techniques of the women-warriors – The Kunoichi.
