Upon the invitation of the Bujinkan Montenegro, the Bujinkan Macedonia took part at the first Budo Taijutsu Tai Kai  seminar
in this friendly country. At the seminar which was held in Budva and
perfectly organized, around 60 people from several countries
participated.
During
the two days of the seminar, Shihan Edward Martin (Papa San) has taught
the techniques such as defense from a knife, but the bare hand fight
(taijutsu) as well. The Hungarian Shihan, our very close friend David
Holt, has also helped.
As
always, among the technical part of the seminar, the teacher Edward
Martin involved the teaching on the mental aspects of the fight
(through kuden), accompanying it with the various examples from his
very rich experience as budoka.
It was nice to see our old friends from the clubs with which Bujinkan Macedonia have long-lasting good relations. 
In
the breaks between sessions, our 7-member team was visiting this
tourist centre’s city beach and used the boon of the sea, while the
evenings were reserved for the party in the historic town.
At
the closure ceremony, the seminar organizer Predrag Lazarevic gave the
Bujinkan Macedonia representative Igor Dovezenski, a special
recognition for the Development of Bujinkan in Montenegro.
We wish all our friends to continue to organize such as wonderful seminars as this one was.
Gambate!

Under
the leadership of Igor Dovezenski, Dojo Cho in Ninjutsu Union Bujinkan
Macedonia, yesterday on Elenac hill a seminar on subject Kenjutsu Kihon
has been held on which the participants had the opportunity to study
the basic techniques of handling a japanese sword.
Before
the start of the technical part, Dovezenski sensei introduced the
students with some important rules concerning this technique through
Kuden (verbal teaching), but also, he emphasized the importance of the
psychological readiness while practicing the techniques in sword
fighting.
After
that, the basic body stances (kamae no kata) were practiced by which
the ways of attack – cutting from each of the kamae were explained. The
training continued with demonstration and practicing of the eight ways
(directions) of cutting with a sword (happo giri), as well as real
sword combat application of the same (shinken gata).
Dovezenski
sensei explained every technique on a pretty high level and with many
details, and in the end he taught the students of the special ways of
movement (tai sabaki) while in a sword fight, after which the movement
was studied through the Ichi no Kamae stance and the Tsuki (stabbing)
technique.
In the end the participants from the beginners group of the Pat kon Sonceto Skopje dojo (Taiyou e no michi Skopje) received compliments for showing satisfactory results on the seminar.
Great
gratitude for the Nature (read God) for the beautiful sunny day, which
allowed us to fill the cells in our body with invigorating energy.

Around
40 participants from four Balkan countries took part at the seminar
with the great ninjutsu master Sveneric Bogsater that was held in the
capital of Macedonia, Skopje. Most of them were members of the Bujinkan Union of Macedonia (Bujinkan Dojo Macedonia), while the others came from Serbia, Montenegro and Greece.
It is hard to describe the feeling to be a host to Sveneric. It is even harder to describe the joy of practice with him.
The
great master begun the first day of the seminar with the explanation of
the Jissen Giho theme, and the movement on the line between life and
death. Then, something that never happened on a seminar before, took
place. Through variations of techniques, the sensei explained to the
participants about the body vital points (Kyu Sho), starting from the
head to the toes, and the impact to one’s body if they are kicked,
pressed or rubbed. Although the techniques were painful, no one could
hide the excitement from this kind of development of the seminar.
The
shihan dedicated the second part of the first day of seminar to the
white belts and taught Sanshin no Kata in the very unique way that made
black belts feel like beginners.
Second day was dedicated to the Hiden no Kempo theme,
or the way of movement in the fight as well as hidden movements along.
Knife, boken and hanbo techniques were practiced. Also, the shihan
Bogsater demonstrated the usage of the internal energy through
techniques, which was breathtaking for the newer practitioners.
At
the end of the seminar the shihan expressed his satisfaction from the
positive energy and the diligence of the participants, and especially
praised our girls for their movement and the understanding of this
martial art.
As a Bujinkan Dojo Macedonia
representative, an organizer of the seminar and as a main ninjutsu
instructor in our union, I would like to express my personal
impressions. First of all, I would like to thank all my students who
helped me in the organization of this remarkable event. Gratefulness to
our friends from the neighborhood as well, with whom we shared our
common values and desires for three days.
And finally, a great appreciation to the master Sveneric Bogsater for all (life) lessons he taught me to while enjoying Skopje streets, restaurants and cafés. That is a truly priceless experience for me.
