Slowly, but steadily, the seminar on which the students of Bujinkan Macedonia tackle the secrets of combat with a spear (yari), became traditional.

Every year instructor Igor Dovezenski teaches the art of Sojutsu (spear combat), discovering new techniques, ways and strategies during the usage of this weapon. So, this year, greater interest will be devoted to the advantages and disadvantages of the yari, through practice of the traditional katas.

„The school Shinden Fudo ryu Dakentaijutsu uses the following weapons: Yari (spear), Ono (war axe), O Tsuchi (big hammer), Tachi (sword) and Naginata. The legend says that one night the demon (Tengu) came to a dream to the founder of the art and taught him how to fight with Yari. These techniques are considered to be the greatest secret of the school even today.“

On this seminar all students of the dojo Bujinkan Macedonia / Taiyou e no Michi can participate.

Required equipment for training: bokuto and yari

Theme: The strength of Yari – advantages and disadvantages

Five days of incredible time with Mario De Mol. Five days filled with trainings, friendship and laughter. Five days hiking mountains, streams, visiting churches, monasteries and national restaurants. Five days which will be forever remembered.

On this seminar over twenty students of our dojo took part, as well as the representative of Jinenkan Germany, Oliver Fuchs. Several techniques from Kenjutsu and Tantojustu were trained, in which we greatly enjoyed. Mario`s knowledge is immense, and his skill is incredible. He completely justified the trust of his teacher Fumio (Unsui) Manaka to carry the highest dan in the organization Jinenkan.

For the quality of the seminar there is nothing to be said, for it could only be felt by attending. Once again we have proven that being a part of other organizations is not an obstacle for collaboration, as long as the training is done on the right way: vigorously, sincerely and with devotion.

Once again gratitude to Mario De Mol for all that time spend together and the selfless help during the transmission of the knowledge from the area of martial arts.
OSU!!!

Twenty of the members of Bujinkan Macedonia who today attended the Shinken gata Tora no Maki seminar, were literally dying in Dolnja Reka while they were trying to grasp as much knowledge as they can from this fighting system.

During the eight-hour training, shidoshi Dovezenski taught the students the basic techniques of this school. as well as the 12 katas from the first level named shodan. All that time, the students trained hard and without holding back they were trying their best to repeat the shown techniques by the instructor.

The seminar started with a brief lecture for Tora no Maki, afterwards continued with training in Kihon Gata. After the body postures (kamae) were learned, the training continued to ukemi, and after that – kihon suvari gata.
With the first kata from the shodan level it was already clear that the location meant for training will become a battlefield. That desire and energy stuck around until 17.00 o`clock, when the bodies and the minds of the participants started to renounce obedience, mostly because of weariness caused by the vigorous rhythm of training.

At the end, it is worth mentioning that the day was beautiful, with a blue sky and strong sun that made up for the lost energy. All that contributed to the great atmosphere during the seminar.
