The overwhelming interest and consistent number of participants during this winter ninja training, that is primarily dedicated to the techniques of survival in harsh natural environments, are a guarantee that this event shall remain part of the yearly schedule of seminars in Bujinkan Macedonia.
The mass attendance of this event is the reason why the teacher Igor Dovezenski takes great pleasure in transferring his knowledge to his students, whо look forward to the second weekend of January – when this seminar takes place.
This year, the seminar went back to its roots at the forest of Mlaka in the valley below the mystic mountain of Lipac. Although the terrain and environment at the location itself, allow for a greater possibility of survival in the winter conditions, the temperature in the air, consistently below zero, served as a stark reminder to the participants that there can be no underestimating nature during these coldest of months.
During this seminar, the teacher Igor Dovezenski decided that two shelters shall be built in parallel. At the same time, in an entirely separate location, the knowledge and ability to survive in winter conditions of shidoshi ho Vladimir Antovski was tested. Afterwards, Dovezenski carefully reviewed the shelter built by his student, and concluded that the candidate has successfully mastered the basics of winter survival, for which he shall receive a special certificate.
