In the period between the 26th of April to the 2nd of May, the teacher Igor Dovezenski held a series of seminars in the region of Lorient (Grand Est) in France.

The classes were dedicated to the schools of Bujinkan ninjutsu, Daito-ryu aikijujutsu and the schools of kenjutsu from Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu.

The seminars were held at the aikido clubs in Malzeville (a suburb of Nancy), and in Blainville, which is situated thirty kilometers south of Nancy. Both dojos are part of the French aikido federation and through it the Aikikai foundation of Japan.

The event’s participants were so amazed by their instructor Dovezenski that they sent him off with ovations and applause, and they have already invited him to come and share his knowledge with them again next year.

The Macedonian teacher accepted the invitation fullheartedly, first and foremost because of the honor being shown to him, but also because of the continuous joy that was shown by those being taught all through the sessions.

With mutual respect and enthusiasm, the hosts and Dovezenski parted ways with the words: “See you next year.”
