The leader of the Organization “Taiyou e no Michi” , the instructor Igor Dovezenski, this past weekend held a seminar for classical Japanese martial arts in the Swiss city of Biel.
Invited by his compatriot Boris Leskarovski, at the same time a karate master of the highest order who has been living and working in Switzerland, Dovezenski taught traditional techniques of Bujutsu, Aikijujutsu and Ninjutsu.
In the event took part around fifteen members from Switzerland and Macedonia, who during the two days enjoyed the katas that the teacher from Macedonia selflessly shared.
Interestingly, although in Switzerland there exist a lot of clubs for martial arts and sports, Kobudo is almost unknown for most of the citizens of this European country.
One of the goals of the master Leskarovski is for his karate club “Kashivakan” to be a gathering place where those interested could train two times a year with the Instructor Dovezenski and to grow acquainted with the roots of the Japanese martial arts. Towards that goal, already this spring the next “Kobudo Gashuku” seminar is scheduled, that will surely have even more visitors, judging by the fact that the first one had the goal of introducing the members of Kashivakan Dojo to the Koryu martial arts that are the predecessors of modern Budo.
