A KusariGama seminar in the yard of the Homby

Posted on Categories Home

A KusariGama seminar was held this past Sunday in the yard of the Hombu Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia. 

During the event there were around ten members from all different age groups, but all of them had the same idea – to enlarge and perfect their knowledge of the ancient Japanese art of Ninjutsu.

The teacher Igor Dovezenski selflessly shared around ten different KusariGama katas, and his students hungrily devoured the instructors’ lessons. 

This was the last seminar at the Homby dojo for the year 2025 and the next season of events begins in March of 2026. 

KyoketsuShoge at the Homby Dojo

The rainy weather this past Saturday forced us to move the KyokestuShoge seminar indoors, inside the Homby Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, although this weapon requires a wide and open space to use effectively.

During the event we managed to “work through” all of the kata’s from this school, and we were pleasantly surprised by the youngest members who gave it their all in their pursuit of knowledge and training. 

The night was dedicated to our communal diner, during which the teacher Dovezenski prepared his well known “Dovezenski pancakes” , and after that we spent some time playing some board games.

All the different body positions and the nine techniques which are a part of the curriculum of Bujinkan Macedonia were practiced. We must also mention that Igor Dovezenski’s students seem to be improving their capabilities with each consecutive seminar. 

During the seminar the participants enjoyed the wonderful weather and the delicious grapes that grow in the yard of the Hombu Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia.

A seminar for shuriken throwing techniques from the school of Togakure ryu Ninjutsu was held this past Saturday in the yard of the Homby Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia.

The teacher Igor Dovezenski held a class in which he went down to the details of this school’s techniques, all the while the ten participants tirelessly absorbed his knowledge and perfected their technique. 

The evening was spent playing board games and talking long into the night and there was also time for a nice dinner in the summer kitchen of the Dojo.

The teacher Igor Dovezenski taught in Chicago (USA)

The day before yesterday marked the end of the two-week journey of the leader of Bujinkan Macedonia to Illinois (United States of America). 

He was actually staying in the city of Chicago on invitation from several owners of luxury residences and hotels in the center of the city, and he furthermore worked at Oak Park – one of the city’s elite neighborhoods. During his stay, Dovezenski taught at several yoga/fitness studios catering to the needs of the residents and guests of these locations, throughout his work he introduced all comers to the Shinobi Taiso system, which was admittedly quite well received by them.
The sessions were held every day in the morning and evening, and, on request by several trainees, he also held some private/individual sessions. 

During the same time, Dovezenski taught Ninjutsu to several JuJutsu professional athletes, who were amazed by his technique and the martial art that he represented. Although he received an invitation to stay and teach in Chicago, Igor Dovezenski, filled with a sense of patriotic duty and guided by his great love for his children and students, immediately refused this generous offer, although he did promise to return for another visit and teaching trip to the “windy city”.

One of the most legendary events on the planet Earth has concluded, known as the Summer Ninja Camp, it is organized by the most dynamic Dojo in the world – Bujinkan Macedonia. 

For seventeen years in a row, the teacher Igor Dovezenski tirelessly transfers his knowledge to those interested in learning the secrets of the traditional Japanese martial arts, and this year too the camp attracted a large number of participants. 

Besides the Macedonians, there was a participant from France, and with that the event again took on an international character, something that is a regular occurrence by now.

The atmosphere during the camp was amazing, the training was tough and dynamic, and we are already getting messages and wishes about the next camp that shall be held in the summer of 2026. We would like to remind you that the call for participation opens on New Year’s eve, so be ready for it 🙂 . 

The 9th Summer Ninja Camp for children has been held 

Posted on Categories Home

In the timespan between the 27th of July and the 2nd of August at the Hombu Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia was held the ninth in a row Summer Ninja Camp for children.

In the event, in addition to the children from Macedonia, participated several children from Italy, France and China (Hong Kong), with which the camp took on an international character. 

It is important to note, that this summer ninja camp was the most visited one and all of the available sports were already sold out even before the event started, and so we would like to remind next year’s participants to reserve their spot as soon as possible, because this event is becoming ever more popular even outside the borders of our country.

With that, our Dojo was enriched with several more kohai (younger students), and one of them received the honour of having his name added to the Nafuda Kake at the Hombu of Bujinkan Macedonia. 

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all those that managed to advance to a higher grade.

30 years of Bujinkan Macedonia!

Posted on Categories Home

With an amazing party in the heart of the village of Dovezence, we had an open air party to celebrate 30 years since the creation of the only ninjutsu club in the Republic – Bujinkan Macedonia. 

The party was attended by former and current members of the dojo, and different friends and acquaintances that hold a deep respect towards what we do and create.

The atmosphere was incredibly positive, the people were overjoyed and full of laughter, and for the awesome vibe and feel of the party made sure the artists from Brooka Bend, Puka Kozmetika, Dre and DJ Zoltiman. 

Bujinkan Macedonia is the official representative of the international organization Bujinkan Dōjō in the Republic of Macedonia and works under the leadership of the teacher Igor Dovezenski – the first Macedonian to bring the authentic martial art of Ninjutsu in our country.

He is the founder of Bujinkan Macedonia, and a longtime student and practitioner of traditional Japanese martial arts. He is a holder of an official license from the Bujinkan Hombu Dōjō in Japan, under the leadership of d-r Masaaki Hatsumi, the founder of Bujinkan. 

Besides being a martial arts teacher, Dovezenski is also known as a student and researcher of the Macedonian spiritual and cultural tradition, which lends him a special level of insight when studying budo. He doesn’t consider Bujinkan as just a martial art, but a way of life that combines physical readiness, discipline, spiritual growth and respect towards nature and the ancestors.
