Under the leadership of the leader of Bujinkan Macedonia, today in the Skopje dojo the seminar for knife defense and combat was held.
Shidoshi Igor Dovezenski, for whom this was the 419th seminar which he has taught at, as always selflessly shared his great knowledge with his students which truly enjoyed every moment of the event.

Immediately after the seminar, shidoshi ho Marko Opacik shared his impressions on the internet Forum of the dojo, which we integrally show to you.

“This was the 30th seminar this year for ‘Taiyou e no Michi’ and I have to say that today we managed to topple the record from last year when we all in all realized 29. But do you know in which way we toppled that record?
Sensei firstly explained which are the most common attacks, but also how to defend from the same. He taught us a lot of nit bits about psychology, and as I said the techniques were deconstructed down to the smallest detail. At the same he asked of the attackers to strike and cut as fast as they can, pull the knife back after the attack and strike again, with the goal of teaching us to move our body correctly and with a flow. During the seminar, many times the movements of Sensei looked like a sped up take from a Hollywood movie.

Although the dynamic was vicious, everybody was in a training mood and we weren’t mistaken to spend this rainy autumn day not lazing about at home, but in the dojo. Some of the techniques were really hard and at high level, and I have to add for those that weren’t there that for 4 hours we trained in knife defense when we also are armed with the same weapon. This was another excellent seminar and I have to say that all those that didn’t take part – missed a whole lot”.

The season of intensive seminars for 2017 in the Hombu Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia ended better than expected. The girls who took part in the ninth in a row “Workshop for Female Self defense”, heroically held out for then hours of dynamic training which was implemented by instructor Igor Dovezenski.

In the Workshop took part nine members of the fairer sex from all ages. Some of them are members who regularly train in our dojo, some are former members, and some of them take part in an event of this nature for the first time. With the goal in mind to learn techniques of self defense which today are crucial to protect ourselves from ruffians who are all around us.

During the first day, the ladies had the opportunity to learn how to defend themselves from an assailant who is attacking by pulling on their clothes or parts of their body, as also techniques for defense from hits and trips. The next day, the program was enhanced with techniques for freeing oneself from different grapples and attempted rapes on the ground or when the victim is pressed to a wall.

Naturally, the free time was used for walks through the beautiful nature around the Homby, and all of that was accompanied with a lot of humor caused by the jokes told between the participants.

Although strenuous and tiring, the techniques learned during the Workshop, combined with the tips and experience gathered during the two days, will forever stay in the memories of all the girls and women who graced us with their presence during this traditional event.

Now begins the so called winter period in which the Homby Dojo will hibernate until the beginning of march, when it will again open the gates for the activities of the most dynamic club for traditional Japanese martial arts in Europe, and maybe even further.

Ninpo Ikkan.

Another successful occupation of the Homby dojo by the Ninja Kids of Bujinkan Macedonia.

The autumn invasion brought 20 kids thirsty for new knowledge and ready to delve into the secrets of the fearless ninja warriors.

Self-defense from an attack through the use of classical Japanese martial arts, but also a lecture about the history of Japan through pictures and tapes – this was only a small part of all that the kids learnt during the rainy, but pretty autumn day.

After this children’s seminar, they left with many new memories and learnt life lessons.

Till the next Homby adventure in spring – Ninpo Ikkan.

All nine Warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia, which early this Sunday started on this legendary challenge, known under the name “The way of the Shugenja”, during the night reached their goal passing through the day 53 kilometers during eleven and half hours.
The first part of the march was along the river Zivusha, till the instructor shidoshi Igor Dovezenski changed by ordering a change of direction through the steep rocky hills which stretch between the villages of Strezovce and the western part of Beljakovce. After a meeting with a wild deer which stoked the curiosity for the terrain, the participants in the challenge entered the locality of the village of Rugince, from where they descended to the village of Suv Orah, after which the climb towards the mountain of Kozkaj began and the final destination – Mokro Ezero.
Before the finish line, a single short lunch break was made which was used to explore the Karpinski Manastir whose beauty captivated the hearts of the Warriors.
Meeting Mokro Ezero was also magical, especially when a heard of nearly 200 free roaming cows descended from the nearby forest to drink water. The return trip went in a opposite arch from the original route, meaning this time the group went in a half circle from west to east, during which they entered the village of Oblavce, from where through the western part of Strezovce they sheered away toward east and in a parallel line with the hill Orljak they entered Beljakovce. During the descent towards the north side of Orljak, in some members the first and only crisis appeared, which included pains in the back of the knee, but the same quickly disappeared as the goal drew nearer.
Five kilometers frоm the Homby, the instructor Dovezenski ordered that the traditional 20 push ups with full “combat gear” must be made, with the goal of demonstrating the strength of spirit of the Warriors of Bijunkan Macedonia.

After arriving in the Homby meaning the starting location, only in a few participants a slight elevation of body temperature was noticed which was followed by a slight fewer, which is a normal response from the body when it is put through extreme hardship.

Till the next odyssey!

The seminar that was held this weekend under the guidance of shidoshi Igor Dovezenski, to many who are not highly knowledgeable of the Japanese martial traditions, would seem weird or unreal. But, the members of Bujinkan Macedonia know very well the connection that exists between man and Nature meaning the Universe, so with pleasure answered to this strange event.

During the seminar, Dovezenski held a series of lectures for the first three modules of the system Shinobi Taiso, during which the participants had the opportunity to learn a few techniques for breathing (kokju ho), afterwards five basic techniques of meditation (mokuso), as also advice for a correct and healthy way of eating (eijo).

Now there will be a longer pause of a five months, during which, the members which are in some way specializing for this system, will need to put in practice and overcome the techniques learned, and in the spring they will have the opportunity to learn the remaining three modules of Ki Undo.

For the ninth time shidoshi Igor Dovezenski successfully organized and held the biggest and best known yearly event known under the name “Summer Ninja Camp”. And again, as every year, it took place with the help of the members of Bujinkan Macedonia who with years selflessly give their support and trust to the leader of “Taiyou e no Michi”. Connection, loyalty, family spirit between the Warriors of the dojo full comes to light during the summer camp. This year during the event studied were the Japanese skills of Takagi Yoshin ryu Jutaijutsu and Togakure ryu Bikenjutsu. Besides them, as always other topics were studied, all with the goal of transferring as much knowledge as possible from the hoards of the teacher – to the students. Truly there are no words that can describe the atmosphere that permeates the summer ninja camp, as any attempt would be unsuccessful. What we can surely say is that the event slowly, but surely, is becoming LEGENDARY and that future generations will be able to speak with days how they watched the photographs from the camp itself. As every year, so this year, on the last day of the event shidoshi Igor Dovezenski presented the topic for the next year, and for 2018 it is: Daito ryu Aikijujutsu and Kukishinden Ryu Naginata. If till now you still haven’t felt the warrior spirit within yourselves meaning you have never taken part in one of our summer camps, in Your calendar mark the dates from 4-12 of August and be part of this glorious moment.

Although Bujinkan Macedonia has a enormous experience in organizing this kind of event, still no camps of this kind for our youngest warriors from the section “Ninja Kids” had been organized up to this point.

The camp was held from the 27 of July to 03 of August, in the Homby of “Taiyou e no Michi” and in it took part 16 kids form the ages of 5 to 12. They studied the basics of Japanese martial arts Koto ryu Koppojutsu and Kukishinden ryu Hanbojutsu, but of course, there were the unavoidable ninja night actions, as also lectures on different topics, all with the goal of the youngest gaining knowledge, skills and confidence needed for the life and future awaiting them. We need to mention that the trainings during the camp were led by shidoshi Igor Dovezenski, sempai Taki Gakovski and kohai Tamara Gorgievska.

Next year we expect an even bigger response, and we promise an event better organization of the event.
