Guided by a wish to teach children survival techniques, and at the same time to bring them closer to nature for they are our future, the teacher Igor Dovezenski organized a seminar geared towards the youngest and their parents.

Envisioned as a daylong family bonding and socializing event, three Macedonian families in the forest of Mlaka situated in the valley below the mountain of Lipac learned how to build a shelter, how to start a fire using primitive tools, to signal for help and how to administer first aid in case of an injury.

At the event’s conclusion, the parent continued to mingle under the summerhouse situated in the yard of the Dojo “Taiyou e no Michi”, while the children played in the shade of Hombu’s big walnut tree.
Until our next meeting…

During the last training before the start of the Corona pandemic in March of 2020, sempai Vladimir Antovski gained the accolade of “Genin”, at that time we didn’t even manage to write a report about his accomplishment, because we were overtaken by the developing situation and we were forced to close the doors of our Dojo. But now, we are calm and collected and with the utmost pleasure we would like to inform You that sempai Blagica Bozinovska is the fourth member of Bujinkan Macedonia that has gained the accolade of “Genin”. Also, for your information, the bronze medal “Genin” is awarded after ten years of dedicated and consistent training at “Taiyou e no Michi”, as an acknowledgment for dedication and loyalty shown towards the Dojo, the other students and the teacher. To the new “Genin” we wish many more long years as a member of “Taiyou e no Michi” and to bravely walk the Way, all the way to the golden “Jonin” medal.

Twelve Warriors from Bujinkan Macedonia were trained this past Sunday in the secret techniques of the Toami. The seminar was held in the yard of the Hombu Dojo of “Taiyou e no Michi”.

With some fantastic weather, our members had the opportunity to once again practice with this unusual ninja tool, while those that were taking part in this event for the first time, had the pleasure of getting to know “the net”.

In the end, all the participants agreed that all further Toami seminars will be fully supported, because according to them – the techniques were both fun and practical.

In the yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organization “Taiyou e no Michi”, this Saturday a seminar was held on the topic of shooting with a bow and arrow (Yumi Ya).

Ten members of Bujikan Macedonia took part in the event, which focuses on the study of the skills of using the Yumi Ya from the school of Togakure ryu. The techniques were practiced using a handmade bow (Maruki Yumi), a short ninja bow (Hankyu), and a Turkish bow, all with the goal of understanding and overcoming the differences inherent in these tools.

Shooting was done from four different body positions, on a target at a distance of ten meters.

Already for the next seminar, it is planned for the shooting to be done with some new hankyu bows which will perform far better than the current ones.

Non-stop rain paired with low temperatures didn’t create even the slightest need to postpone our traditional seminar for the study of winter survival techniques. After five years of gathering knowledge about survival in forest terrain, and then five years of perfecting our knowledge of survival methods in hilly areas, this year we began a new challenging chapter in our study of these techniques – survival in rocky valley terrain. With this goal in mind, we chose Smkneno, a place at the start of hills that are a part of the mountain of Lipac.

Soaking wet and freezing from the continuous rain, we successfully refreshed and realized the five primary rules for survival in winter conditions. Although for many it would be impossible, we with great ease and in a primitive manner managed to light a fire and warm ourselves around it.

Because of the (purposefully chosen) harsh terrain, this year we presented a way to build a simple and primitive hideout, called a lair.
We were overjoyed to conclude that the students were capable of adapting to any kind of terrain with growing ease. We also must commend the children of the instructor Igor Dovezenski which in a truly heroic manner, without any second thoughts weathered the low temperatures. They regularly visit nearly all seminars in nature, that are under the umbrella of Bujinkan Macedonia.

This was the first seminar for this year, and we would like to believe that everything will soon be back to normal and that we will quickly return to our work with even greater gusto.
