In the elder dojo, Sanja Simonova passed the test for the second kyu and with that received the title of Sempai, while Filip Trajanovski passed for the title of first kyu (brown belt). Kohai Sase Gacev passed the for the fifth kyu, and so his name too will now stand on the Nafuda Kake in the central dojo in the valley under Lipac.

In the forest of Mlaka, not far from the Hombu of “Taiyou e no Michi”, this Sunday an intensive seminar “Ninja Day” was held.

The goal of this event was to introduce the members of Bujinkan Macedonia to the secret arts of the legendary Shinobi warriors. During the seminar, the teacher Dovezenski demonstrated multiple skills whit which he only “lifted the veil” just enough so it can be seen what waits in store for the future master level candidates.

Noiseless movement, defense and attack with shuko, Kaginava, Tetsubishi, YumiYa, were just a few of the techniques which some of the participants had the opportunity to practice for the first time. Of course, after every exercise shown, the participants tried and practiced the techniques shown.

Because of the great interest, in the end in was agreed that in the
spring multiple events of this type should be organized during which it will be possible to individually learn all of the weapons which were presented during the seminar.
