On 09.05.2010 (sunday), the school for classical martial arts Taiyou e no Michi / Bujinkan Macedonia is organizing a seminar in the outdoors with the theme Yumi Ya Jutsu (the art of using bow and arrows).

This art was mandatory to learn by the Japanese bushi (warriors) and was one of the most important up until the emergence of firearms (Tetupo). The use of bow and arrows remained popular after the 17th century as well, but during this period more in the lines of spiritual growth of the samurai. On the other hand, with the shinobi warriors, this weapon retained it’s practical usage because of it’s ease of creation and silence of usage.

During this seminar the ways to create bow and arrows will be studied, as well as the postures for shooting them. Besides that, the students will have the opportunity to learn what strategy to use in different situations.

On this seminar, we will study a new body posture (kamae) for shooting, as well as shooting with a crossbow.

There’s only one way to become good in martial arts. And that is by repeating every learned technique at least a thousand times. We at Bujinkan Macedonia know that for a long time and therefore yesterday’s seminar strictly adhered to that principle.

The seminar began with a good long march towards the place meant for practice.
We climbed uphill quickly, passing through dense bushes and forest. The spring always awakens the wild and sleeping world, so on the way we encountered two snakes – one of them poisonous. We also stumbled upon a huge ant nest, filled with eggs, which we used to have a little rest from the road.

During the seminar, all rokushaku bo body postures were studied (kamae no kata), as well as many strikes from them. Afterwards, we moved on to blocking, striking from a sitting stance and rolling with the bo.

As always, the seminars in nature are a great opportunity to enhance the physical condition and also to learn new nature survival techniques.

Everyone that has ever attended these seminars with instructor Igor Dovezenski, remember his lessons and teachings about how nature can be used to it’s maximum for our benefit – in case we need a hideout, or if for whatever reason we’re forced to survive in it’s surroundings.

On sunday, the classical martial arts school Taiyou e no Michi / Bujinkan Macedonia, is organizing a seminar in nature on the theme: Bojutsu (the art of staff fighting).

This is an art which was studied in almost every classical school and was always mandatory to learn by the japanese bushi (warriors).

During the seminar, body postures, strikes and blocks will be practiced using the rokushaku bo (a staff 180cm in length). Practicing in the open allows us to feel the way the techniques and kata were performed during the Sengoku Jidai period (the civil wars in Japan), when the battles were fought in the open (on the battlefields).

With lots of laughter and positive energy, in the spirit of Rokkon Shojo, this weekend we practiced in our dojo under the guidance of the great ninjutsu master Sveneric Bogsater. His performance and teaching were enjoyed by 40 attendants from Serbia (Belgrade, Novi Sad and Nis), Montenegro (Budva) and Macedonia (Skopje and Kavadarci).

The first day, we began training with a Tachi (battlefield sword), which was followed by Taijutsu techniques. His performance of the Kihon Happo techniques was impressive – he managed to tie all eight into a single kata. Afterwards, we practiced kunai techniques, an old japanese weapon, which when in Sveneric’s hands, acts like an extension of his arm.

The second day, we practiced techniques which were always a favorite in our dojo. Defense against knife. Here also, the students had a chance to see Sveneric’s quality.
After that, we moved on to hanbo techniques, which we also enjoyed.
Once again, I thank all our friends which came from abroad to study with us.
I am also thankful to the students of Bujinkan Macedonia for their support and help organizing this seminar. As always, you were amazing in every way possible.
In the end, a great thanks to sensei Sveneric, for the honor and trust he gave us and for again sharing his knowledge and experience, and mostly for the oral transmission (kuden) which I will never forget, especially in the moments which we spent on the Vodno mountain at the courtyard of the monastery of st. Panteleimon.

All the best until the next seminar.
