Yesterday in the Skopje dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, the instructor Igor Dovezenski held a seminar on the topic of “Kurai Dori” which means the taking of defensive postures in the traditional Japanese ninja school of Koto ryu Koppojutsu.

During the event, shidoshi Dovezenski explained in detail all five postures which are used in Koto ryu, as also the basic techniques of Kurai Dori.

When the seminar ended, the participants voiced their satisfaction about the things learned, and also noted that after this event their level of understanding of this martial school is now at a much higher level.

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”.
