Even though this seminar was initially announced as an outdoor one, it was held in the Hombu Dojo of the School for martial arts Taiyou e no Michi.

The reason for this was the rain during the day and the danger of having our katana used for training wet and damaged by rust.

During the seminar, the students had the opportunity of learning three ways of drawing the samurai sword (nuki uchi), as well as four ways of cleaning the sword during combat (chiburui).

Additionally, we trained ways of striking with the katana as well as nine combat scenarios (kata).

On this seminar, shidoshi Igor Dovezenski tried his best to transmit all of the secrets of quick and efficient sword drawing and using the same moving to strike. The students showed great amount of concentration, and their dedication added towards their full understanding of the techniques of this traditional Japanese martial art.

Shidoshi Igor Dovezenski, held a seminar about Nage Waza (throwing techniques) yesterday.
We pass the impressions of shidoshi ho Marko Opachikj, published right after the event on our private forum:

-„I thank Sensei for holding such a great seminar and selflessly sharing his knowledge. He succeeded in satisfying every taste and it was obvious that every student enjoyed during the four hours. The tempo didn`t deflate and the wish to practice more and more was great with everyone – from shoshinsha to sempai.  
The seminar ended without any injuries, and what`s most important the rolling techniques were learned in fine detail. There was everything that can be found in Nage Waza: sutemi, otoshi, kaiten and all of it wrapped-up in a couple of hours which passed real fast.
The beginners that had the opportunity of participating in this seminar saw how proper training is done and see where their own knowledge stands. I consider this was a great motivation for them to continue with their hard work.“
