In a great friendly atmosphere passed the seminar which took place yesterday in Gradsko, organized by our section in this community. Besides the host, this event was attended by beginner students from our section in Taftalidzhe, as well as the Hombu dojo in Skopje.

The younger instructors of Bujinkan Macedonia, Marjan Proshev and Marko Opachikj, during the entire day taught the basics of the Koto Ryu, Gyokko Ryu, Shinden Fudo Ryu and Takagi Yoshin Ryu schools, while the twenty attending students tirelessly learned these four classical Japanese martial traditions.

During the training, as well as during the brakes, sempai Proshev and sempai Opachikj, explained the differences and similarities between these schools, as well as telling their positive experience as members of Bujinkan Macedonia.

At the end, we would like to congratulate the organizer of this seminar on a job well done – Panche Kocev who is on a good way to enter deeper into the marvelous world of classical Japanese martial arts (Koryu Bujutsu).

During exquisitely cold weather, followed by rain and strong winds, we held the fukiya seminar. The place chosen for this event, Loka, which during the entire time was surrounded by gray, wet clouds, proved to be ruthless to the warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia. For the entire length of the training, our clothes were constantly wet, and our wet feet and boots made our bodies tremble to keep their temperature at a normal level.

Compared to the other seminars teaching different weapons, the ones with fukiya were always considered to be easy in regards of physical strain, but instructor Igor Dovezenski alway forces a fast climbing rhythm on the roughest terrains.

The seminar began with a short lecture about this weapon,
which comes from the tradition of the Togakure Ryu school, after which instructor Dovezenski taught the students the way to manufacture and use the fukiya in all kinds of battle conditions. Afterwards, there was a target practice training from several body postures (kamae). For the students, especially interesting was the message transmission technique with the darts, as well as shooting them.

All in all, this experience as every other gained in the outdoor seminars, will be of great use to our students who even in their hardest moments do not allow themselves to show weakness or self-pity. The future of Bujinkan Macedonia is guaranteed with such students.

On an invitation by the Tatsujin dojo in Belgrade, the instructor of Bujinkan Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski, along with his student Marjan Proshev, took part in a seminar taught by the well known Bujinkan master, Pedro Fleitas from Spain.

The seminar with master Fleitas took place on Saturday and Sunday, while on Friday, there was a training session held by master Miguel Sanz, leader of the Madrid Dojo. With that, we were for the first time introduced to the technique of this young shihan, who is a personal student of Fleitas.

Besides the training sessions, these three days
 we used to see all our friends who lead or train in the dojos around the Balkan Peninsula. As always, the moments with them were pleasant, and the conversations about the years passed in friendship and training simply brought back memories.

During the seminar, shihan Pedro Fleitas held a goda (sakki test), which was successfully passed by all five candidates. We congratulate them all.

Finally, we would like to extend our gratitude to the organizer Sasha Keshikj, for the organization of this seminar.
