A one day seminar about the Ono (a type of large samurai ax) was held this Saturday in the yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi”. 

Those present had the amazing opportunity to get to know, or maybe it is better to say perfect, the techniques that are used with this classical samurai weapon that is part of the Bujinkan traditions through the school of Shinden Fudo ryu Dakentaijutsu. 

The teacher Igor Dovezenski was, as always, up to the task and gave it his all to transfer as much of his knowledge, down to the tiniest minutiae, to his students, whose great thirst for knowledge always draws them back to the training sessions at our pivotal Dojo in the valley under the mountain of Lipac.
