Yesterday in the Hombu Dojo of the Organization ”Taiyou e no Michi” the final seminar on the topic of “Haragei” took place.

As shidoshi Dovezenski said beforehand, from next year onward the techniques for improvement of the senses and the body’s vigilance will be taught in a new event called “Senshin Teki Kyoyo” meaning spiritual betterment of the Warrior.

Although yesterdays seminar should have been held in nature specifically on the hill of Elenac, in the last moment the decision was altered. Actually, just before starting, the strong wind followed by snowfall was so cold, that in no time at all it froze the fingers and the face. And for meditation, better conditions are required, for it to be successful. Because of that, the event was transferred to the Hombu.

Ladies and gentlemen, see you next year in a new place and a new topic of study with witch we will continue this unusual spiritual quest.

On the 25 of February the final edition on the topic of “Haragei” will be held. The instructor Igor Dovezenski has decided that five years have been enough time for his students to get acquainted with these techniques, and from now on they will continue to be tought through another seminar that will be put on the list for next year.

Hara (腹 ) is a Japanese term for a stomach, and Gei (芸) means art. However, in the martial arts this word bears another meaning, one of an inner and outer communication through discovering one’s self and the changes happening around us in due time. Zen teachers taught centuries ago that breathing with the Hara (stomach) clears the mind from any thoughts and enables a deep view in the inner self. Exactly that insight of the inner and outer changes is believed to grant the warrior a chance to recognize the danger and react to it at the same time. The famous zen monk, Takuan Soho, called this type of training for cultivation of the inner energy an „exercise for the immovable mind“.

Imagine a situation, You and Your opponent are two meters apart with pointed katanas at each other’s hearts. The tension increases and only one untimely breath or one blink of an eye could separate you from life and death. To recognize the attack, to feel the moment when you should react is the key.

This year for the last time, the instructor Dovezenski will teach his students how to enhance their senses, and through that improve their martial skills. Those that took part in all of the “Haragei” seminars, will have enough experience to transfer this skill to the younger members of the dojo, and their improvement will continue from next year, with further expansion of this skill through other techniques necessary for the betterment of every Warrior.

Sponsored by the Japanese international cooperation agency – JICA, as also the Japanese embassy in Macedonia, and by request of the organization MAK-JAMS from Skopje, the Dojo for classical Japanese martial arts “Taiyou e no Michi” organized a presentation (Embu) of Bujutsu, Aikijujutsu and Ninjutsu (arts).

The event took place the day before yesterday at the Institute for ethnology and anthropology at PMF – Skopje, in attendance of around thirty guests, among which was the Japanese consul for Macedonia, his Excellency Toyokazu Kubota accompanied by his wonderful wife. At the demonstration were present the leader of the dojo Igor Dovezenski, as also the members Marko Opacik, Zoran Todorovski, Vadimir Antonovski. Blagica Bozinovska, Taki Gakovski and Sanja Simonova. They presented in front of those present the Japanese classical martial arts meaning the schools which are tough at “Taiyou e no Michi” -Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto ryu Bujutsu, Daito ryu Aikijujutsu, Gyokko ryu Koshijutsu and Koto ryu Koppojutsu.

At the end, during the modest cocktail, the consul Kubota in conversation with Dovezenski said that until now he has never been as impressed by a Bujutsu demonstration, especially noticing how he felt a collision of energies from the participants in the demonstration that reminded him of “Japanese warrior-monks” from the medieval period.
