On Saturday, the Ninja Kids of Bujinkan Macedonia invaded the Hombu Dojo of the Organization dedicated to the study of classical Japanese martial arts „Taiyou e no Michi“ for the second time.
In this conquering mission 22 children participated, from the youngest section of the only club in our country that nurtures
traditional martial arts from the Land of the Rising Sun.
During the event, which is organized twice a year – in spring and autumn, the youngest students of Bujinkan Macedonia had various activities throughout the day. Under the leadership of Todor, Taki, and Sanja, the children had a Gyoko ryu lesson where they practiced Sanshin no kata, and they listened to several lectures on the subject: „Togakure ryu Ninjutsu“.
The head instructor of Bujinkan Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski, held a kenjutsu training session (Japanese sword fighting), and before that the children had the opportunity to have a look at the Hombu Dojo, which at the same time represents a small museum where you could see different objects and tools used by the Japanese ninjas and Samurai from the Middle ages.
The kids had an organized visit to a small sheep farm too, and also had a homemade delicious lunch made using only fresh produce directly from the garden located by the dojo.
The kids used the free time to play different games, but also to eat the ripe sour cherries that they picked from the trees that grow everywhere around the Hombu’s yard.
At the end, we would like to add that the children were supervised at all times by the watchful eye of a doctor, who was hired by the Organization „Taiyou e no Michi“.
The next conquering mission of the Ninja Kids for the Hombu Dojo is due in autumn.
