The season of intensive seminars for 2017 in the Hombu Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia ended better than expected. The girls who took part in the ninth in a row “Workshop for Female Self defense”, heroically held out for then hours of dynamic training which was implemented by instructor Igor Dovezenski.
In the Workshop took part nine members of the fairer sex from all ages. Some of them are members who regularly train in our dojo, some are former members, and some of them take part in an event of this nature for the first time. With the goal in mind to learn techniques of self defense which today are crucial to protect ourselves from ruffians who are all around us.
During the first day, the ladies had the opportunity to learn how to defend themselves from an assailant who is attacking by pulling on their clothes or parts of their body, as also techniques for defense from hits and trips. The next day, the program was enhanced with techniques for freeing oneself from different grapples and attempted rapes on the ground or when the victim is pressed to a wall.
Naturally, the free time was used for walks through the beautiful nature around the Homby, and all of that was accompanied with a lot of humor caused by the jokes told between the participants.
Although strenuous and tiring, the techniques learned during the Workshop, combined with the tips and experience gathered during the two days, will forever stay in the memories of all the girls and women who graced us with their presence during this traditional event.
Now begins the so called winter period in which the Homby Dojo will hibernate until the beginning of march, when it will again open the gates for the activities of the most dynamic club for traditional Japanese martial arts in Europe, and maybe even further.
