Macedonia got new Shidoshi-ho

Author koryuPosted on Categories Uncategorized

In the Hombu Dojo of the Organization for teaching Japanese traditional martial arts „Taiyou e no Michi“, testing was held today for shodan (first dan). After the successful presentation of his knowledge, our long-term member Zoran Todorovski earned the master degree „shidoshi ho“ and with that became the fourth Macedonian carrier of this prestige title. The new yudansha, managed to get to it after seven years of non-stop and regular training in Bujinkan Macedonia and participation in lot of international and domestic seminars. The success is even greater if you know how strict is grading of degrees in the organization Taiyou e no Michi and rigorousness of the main instructor, shidoshi Igor Dovezenski.
Shidoshi ho Zoran Todorovski is one of the most respected members in the dojo and at the same time a leading motivation. He started training in Bujinkan Macedonia on his 37 years, when for the first time in his life met with martial arts in general. Todorovski showed and proved that age is not important as long as you have love for the art and will for success. We congratulate the new shidoshi ho from the heart and wish him many more successes in the future.
Ninpo Ikkan!

„Haragei“ seminar held

Author koryuPosted on Categories Uncategorized

In a fantastic atmosphere, the outdoor seminar „Haragei“ was organized today. Instructor Dovezenski taught his students how to become aware of the changes in the surroundings, through practicing twelve techniques chosen for this event.

Following below are some statements from the participants about the seminar.
Vladimir A: „I will need more time to „digest“ this seminar. It showed me how little I know about ninjutsu, as a martial method, as a way of thinking and acting, as a strategy, as an art that is strongly connected to nature. At the same time it revealed to me how much potential the man possesses for success and how easily it can be destroyed by ourselves.
The modern society where we live in might facilitate some things, but definitely dulls and destroys the primary functions of our bodies, our spirits and our minds. It takes a lot of effort to understand some things that are a lot more important than the things we currently think are.“
Marko O: „The techniques were on a very high level, but this day and this seminar showed me a new perspective and a way of thinking. I now know  that not everything is in jujutsu, in daken and that these techniques are inseparable part of ninjutsu. Sensei transferred this subject in a way as it should be, so we all can understand it. This is another great indicator that ‘I haven’t learned everything yet’ from him and that there is a lot more to learn. The exercises were excellent, some of them harder, some easier, some completely puzzling, but all of them were extremely fun. I really liked the lecture about the human behavior, his psychology, the ways of living and thinking of the individual. Unfortunately, this cannot be taught in the dojo, as for technical, so as for practical reasons. The atmosphere was great, everyone was positive with a desire for progress, with pure hearts and clear minds. Sensei thanks for this beautiful day and gratitude that you opened another door on our Path!!!“
Risto Ch: „The seminar was fantastic, one of the best that I’ve ever been so far. It wasn’t hard physically, but mentally… I still can’t arrange my impressions. Sensei taught us 12 techniques, 12 wonders from the „depths“ of ninjutsu. Every one of them was extremely interesting and challenging, and with a purpose to learn how we can use our minds, and not our minds use us.“

Taiyou e no Michi / 太陽への道

Author koryuPosted on Categories Uncategorized

The martial arts school – Taiyou e no Michi is a non-commercial organization dedicated to studying classical Japanese martial arts (koryu bujutsu) in their original form, adapted to use in modern conditions.

The organization Taiyou e no Michi is consisted of two sub-organizations: The school for classical Japanese martial arts “Bujinkan Macedonia“ and the school for classical Japanese martial arts “Daito Ryu Macedonia Koryu Dojo“. The school for martial arts – Taiyou e no Michi along with the dojo* “Bujinkan Macedonia“ were founded in 1995, with the goal of studying the nine classical Japanese martial schools of the international Bujinkan Dojo organization.

For now, we are the first and only Macedonian Bujinkan (ninjutsu) dojo, acknowledged by the headmaster of the organization. Bujinkan dojo was found by the soke (headmaster) d-r. Masaaki Hatsumi, in order to unify and preserve the schools (ryu-ha) he inherited from his teacher Toshitsugu Takamatsu. The seat of the organization is located in Noda city, Japan.

The school for classical Japanese martial arts “Daito Ryu Macedonia Koryu Dojo“ was found in march, 2010, with the goal of studying two classical Japanese martial schools: Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu and Ono ha Itto Ryu Kenjutsu (Takeda Den). In the beginning, the purpose of creating this sub-organization was exclusively to better understand the idea of koryu bujutsu, and by that better understand the schools of Bujinkan. In time, we started going deeper into the secrets of these two schools, and we hope that in time, we will be able to popularize these schools in our country. For now we are the only dojo for Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu and Ono ha Itto Ryu Kenjutsu (Takeda Den) for the entire territory of south-eastern Europe.

We are members of the international European Daito Kai organization lead by the Shihan Antonino Certa in Italy, the only non-Japanese Shihan for these two arts.

Classical Japanese martial arts (koryu bujutsu) aren`t a sport. There are no competitions here. They have the sole purpose of strengthening the body and spirit, primarily to defend those weaker than us, those close to us and for self-defense and protection of our surroundings and motherland. The members of our organization are honest and just people who are at any time ready to help their community and motherland – Macedonia. In Taiyou e no Michi, we don`t accept people with troublesome behavior or criminal records. All those pure of heart, with an open mind and tamable ego are welcome.

*Dojo (道場) – a place for self improvement on the Path

The seminar for beginners „Budo no Kiso“ held

Author koryuPosted on Categories Uncategorized

The instructor of Bujinkan Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski, with the help of his assistant Marko Opachikj, successfully organized the seminar for beginners Budo no Kiso. As the title says, during the seminar the participants had the opportunity to study the basic principles of the martial arts, through practicing of two kata from every school that is taught in the Organization „Taiyou e no Michi“.

The seminar began with a demonstration of two kata from the swordsmanship schools Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto ryu and Ono ha Itto ryu (Takeda-den), and after that continued with training of the kata Nukite Dori and Tachi Eri Dori from the tradition of Daito ryu Aikijujutsu. The training was followed by the katas Gekkan and Shinken from Shinden Fudo ryu Dakentaijutsu; Dan Shi and Keto (henka) from Takagi Yoshin ryu Jutaijutsu and Hidari ude Tonso no Kata and Migi Tonso no Kata (henka) from Togakure ryu Ninpo Taijutsu. 
All beginners and younger students tried to „absorb“ as much as they could from the rich experience of shidoshi Dovezenski, with purpose to understand the most important elements of the martial schools that they will have to study separately in the future.
