The 11th in a row “Strength of the Yari” was held

The traditional seminar for fighting with a spear which is named “Strength of the Yari”, organized by the Dojo for samurai and ninja arts “Bujinkan Macedonia”, was held for the eleventh time. In the event took part ten Warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia, among which were the three kids of the teacher Igor Dovezenski. This year, as last year, the battlefield was on the edge of the forest of Mlaka in the village where the Hombu Dojo is situated. The location was chosen for its similarity to the battlefields of Medieval Japan. Previously, “Strength of the Yari” was held in the location called Slepo Kolo, because of the specific hilly and uneven terrain, and all with the goal of teaching the students how to fight in all terrain conditions. During the seminar, the teacher Dovezenski with special interest followed the techniques performed by the sempais Vladimir Antovski and Mihail Drakalski. And after a short analysis decided that their development is progressing in an acceptable fashion and that the time is right for them to receive a densho in which are encompassed all of the techniques of the art of Sojutsu which is practiced in our dojo. The small ceremony of awarding the densho will be held during the traditional seminar “Kenjutsu under the stars of Lipac”.
