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!

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.

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.

This past weekend, six Warriors from Bujinkan Macedonia successfully mastered the techniques for group survival in desert conditions. On temperatures above 42 degrees, the participants of “Life in the Wild” managed to overcome the all the challenges who appeared during the two days.

Although Macedonia has no deserts in the classical meaning of the word, nonetheless the instructor Igor Dovezenski chose a rocky and stony terrain known for its meager vegetation, as also a tiny yearly rainfall. The volcanic hills between the villages of Konjuh and Shopsko Rudare, perfectly brought the atmosphere to that of a desert climate.

During the seminar, Dovezenski taught his student how to chose the best suited location to build a temporary shelter, afterward where to find food and water, but also how to prepare them so they are safe for consumption. Besides this, the members of Bujinkan Macedonia learned many other techniques, among which: providing first aid during an injury, the making of weapons for hunting, fishing and defense, etc.

The techniques for survival in nature, for the most part Dovezenski has learned from his grandfather, who was a participant in the second world war and was awarded with a plethora of commendations, among which is the liberation of the city of Skopje. During the war in its aftermath, he was a scout in a tank battalion and the techniques for nature survival helped him many times to survive the difficult situations that he found himself in during those hard years.

This next summer, meaning the scenario of “Life in the Wild” will take place on a mountain higher than 1000 meters.

Slowly, but surely, this seminar too became a tradition that will go on from year to year.
We got to the fourth chapter of this story, that will take us this time to stranger and harsher living conditions.
During the first three events, the instructor Dovezenski taught his students how they can survive an extended period as a group as long as they take shelter in a mountain lower than 1000 meter, and also how to organize life by a river and in a forest.
“Life in the Wild IV”, will have the goal of teaching the members of Bujinkan Macedonia how to survive in desert conditions.

As was said during the first seminar, the warriors of the dojo every year will face different terrain meaning myriad geographical living conditions.

The seminar will be held under the presumed scenario of a natural catastrophe or other misfortune which demands a retreat to an inaccessible place and the organization of life during an extended time frame with a group of people. With the mastery of these new skills, the members of the dojo will be capable of taking care of their family and providing it with the basic necessities for life in the wilderness during an emergency.

Don’t miss the opportunity to learn the techniques of surviving in nature, which in case of a natural catastrophe or another type of trouble will be more than necessary.

In the seminar may take part all the members of the dojo Bujinkan Macedonia / Taiyou e no Michi, regardless of their title or level of knowledge.

Necessary equipment: everything that can be useful during survival in nature and will fit in your backpack.
