Twenty of the members of Bujinkan Macedonia who today attended the Shinken gata Tora no Maki seminar, were literally dying in Dolnja Reka while they were trying to grasp as much knowledge as they can from this fighting system.

During the eight-hour training, shidoshi Dovezenski taught the students the basic techniques of this school. as well as the 12 katas from the first level named shodan. All that time, the students trained hard and without holding back they were trying their best to repeat the shown techniques by the instructor.

The seminar started with a brief lecture for Tora no Maki, afterwards continued with training in Kihon Gata. After the body postures (kamae) were learned, the training continued to ukemi, and after that – kihon suvari gata.
With the first kata from the shodan level it was already clear that the location meant for training will become a battlefield. That desire and energy stuck around until 17.00 o`clock, when the bodies and the minds of the participants started to renounce obedience, mostly because of weariness caused by the vigorous rhythm of training.

At the end, it is worth mentioning that the day was beautiful, with a blue sky and strong sun that made up for the lost energy. All that contributed to the great atmosphere during the seminar.

27022012025035Shinken-gata-Tora-no-Maki.„Shinken gata Tora no Maki has plenty of similarities with Kikushinden Ryu. That form was created in the late Edo period by Ichiyanagi Kazuma.

He was a student of Kano Yoshihiro, who was a master of Kukishin Ryu school.

For the foundation of Shinken gata Tora no Maki the techniques of Kukishin ryu (Daken) Taijustu were taken, as well as the experience which Ichiyanagi had from Shinden Fudo ryu Taijutsu (a school he also studied during his life.)

The combat system is consisted of Kihon and five levels called Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan and Godan. The techniques of ukemi, unlike in the other arts, contain ways of intercepting the strike of the opponent.“

On the seminar all students of the Bujinkan Macedonia dojo / Taiyou e no Michi can participate.

Posted on Categories Home

Shidoshi Ho Marjan Proshev with the assistance of kohai Maja 24022012095923kose8765.jpgIlievska, today in the elementary school “Ljuben Lape” in Skopje, gave a lecture to the first graders on the subject: „Classical Japanese schools in Bujinkan and their connection with the legendary ninjas and samurai”. The lecture was adapted to their age, and to be more fun, the members of Bujinkan Macedonia presented a part of the weapon’s arsenal that is used during the training in the dojo.

After the pupils got acquainted with the history of the classical martial arts and the causes for the appearance of the samurai and ninjas, Proshev and Ilievska held a training for the youngest in the sport hall of the school, where the basic exercises of junan taiso were shown, which are needed for their normal physical development. Afterwards, a short training in taijutsu and kenjutsu was held, upon which, the instructor Marjan Proshev pointed out to the first graders that they must never become bullies and they always have to oppose them, as well as to help the weaker when they feel threatened by the stronger ones.

The kids, who were obviously happy, wished the members of Bujinkan Macedonia to give them a visit again and to give them another lecture. Not being able to hide their excitement, the kids constantly hugged the instructors and sang them songs.

We, as members of Bujinkan, stay open for collaboration with all institutions who care about the health and the education of the youngest because we consider the kids to be the future and the strenght of our country.

A sucessfull Gyokko Ryu Kyusho seminar

Posted on Categories Home

More than 20 students from the School for Classical 190220121347476587.jpgJapanese Martial arts Taiyou e no Michi, today studied the pressure points of the Gyokko Ryu School.

Even though at first this event was to take place in the outdoors, we revised that decision because of the nature of the theme practiced – it would be better to have it in the dojo, because of the melting, but still snow covered location that was first planned and the inadequately wet terrain surrounding the overflowing river near the said location.

The seminar was opened with an introduction to how to strike the pressure points of Gyokko Ryu by instructor Igor Dovezenski, as well as the principles that are to be respected during the application of them. Following the introduction, the attendants were introduced to the consequences of using such an attack.

Shidoshi Dovezenski during the entire seminar selflessly shared his knowledge of this traditional school through the kata of Koshi Sanpo / Moto Gata. After practicing the basis, several variations were tried as well, during which the instructor in the smallest detail explained the angles and ways of the attack, as well as the effects that it can cause over the different body parts of the opponent.  

At the end of this seminar, every student received a present – a schematic drawing of the kyusho, and their contentment with this seminar was shown through the plea for having another seminar on this theme as soon as possible.

On this seminar all students of the Bujinkan Macedonia dojo / Taiyou e no Michi can participate.

surroundings and without using any tools or instruments (with bare hands

which the students need to be more careful in the future.

orientation in nature, setting a fire using quartz, as well as mental
preparation for this kind of sutuation for surviving in winter.

followed with great attention.

Deservedly, the 1st kyu test was passed by Zoran T.

Macedonia got two new Bujinkan masters. Marjan Proshev and Marko Opachich successfully passed the first dan test (shodan), so they have the honor to be the second Macedonians who got master degrees from the Hombu dojo in Japan. They earned this title after five years of training in our dojo, without missing more than ten training sessions (for the entire period). They have participated almost on every international seminar, as well as on all outdoor seminars organized by Bujinkan Macedonia.

We congratulate the new shidoshi ho (younger instructors) with whole our hearts and wish them even greater success in the future.

For their effort, persistence, loyalty, regularity and love 30122011183600plaganje898.jpgfor the art and the school, acknowledgements were given to the students Marjan P., Anton P. and Filip A.
