Its been fifteen years since the instructor Igor Dovezenski held a seminar on the topic of YumiYa Jutsu for the first time, and the interest for this ancient weapon is still growing and attracting new interested members from Bujinkan Macedonia.
Of course, regular participants are veterans who have decided to in some way ‘specialize’ in the primitive “ninja bow and arrow”.
The goal and wish of shidoshi Igor Dovezenski is to enable his student to be able to in just half an hour to make a primitive bow and arrows which will help them to survive meaning to manage if they ever find themselves in a hostile environment.
For this purpose, he carefully teaches them how to find the proper piece of wood, which will enable them to make solid weapons which will enhance their chances of survival if their lives are ever in danger.
The seminar which was held this Sunday started with a short lecture on the history of the bow and arrow, after which, after it was demonstrated how, the members of the dojo had the task of making a bow themselves with which they would latter practice.
After the preparations were done, the target was placed, upon which the participants had the opportunity to practice shooting from four different body positions, under the pretense of different scenarios.
As the training continued, the warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia had increasingly better results, and evident was the advancement of those who were regular participants in this traditional event.
Satisfied by the things taught, in the end it was agreed upon that the seminar was to continued to be held in the same time as every year meaning the last weekend of April.
