After successfully passing the test for shidan (first dan) that took place this Sunday in the Hombu dojo of “Taiyou e no Michi”, after a decade of training in our Dojo, sempai Taki Gakovski definitely earned the long-awaited “black belt”. And with that, Bujinkan Macedonia received another Yudensha (carrier of a master degree) and another Shidoshi Ho (junior instructor).
As we have already mentioned, the test (Shiken) was held at the Hombu dojo of the Organization “Taiyou e no Michi”, where this rare event was celebrated with a wonderful atmosphere.
After the event concluded, the teacher Dovesenski held a short speech that caused tears of joy in all those present. This was not out of the ordinary, if you take into account the amount of work needed to reach the black belt in Bujinkan Macedonia. At least ten years of regular training, and the shedding of a lot of blood, sweat and tears upon the tatami.
Shidoshi Ho Taki Gakovski is one of the most dedicated members of Bujinkan Macedonia, responsible for the functioning of the kids group (Ninja Kids). He has taken part in almost all of the seminars organized by our Dojo and never misses even the regular weekly training classes.
We congratulate him from the bottom of our hearts and wish him many more years of bravely walking upon the Path.
