In the courtyard of the Hombu dojo of the Organization “Taiyou e no Michi”, this Sunday the traditional seminar Chigiriki was held. This unusual weapon, made from a stick on which a chain and ball are attached, in the past was an integral part of multiple Japanese martial arts. Sadly, today very few practitioners try to keep the tradition going through its use meaning through training with it.

During the seminar nine techniques were taught, after the instructor explained the positions beforehand, and also the blocks and attacks with Chigiriki.

No doubt next year there will be a seminar organized on the same topic, because we are sure that a complete warrior, has to know in detail the entire arsenal of weapons which were used by the legendary Japanese warriors – the Samurai and the Ninja.

The instructor Igor Dovezenski this Sunday taught his students in the techniques of use for the Jutte from the school of Kukisinden-ryu Happobiken, and they tirelessly absorbed all knowledge from the teacher.

Right from the start, the participants could get acquainted with the basic strikes with the samurai steel baton, and then they trained in the five katas of this old ‘Sogo Bujutsu school’.

To the joy of all, in the end it was decided that this past weekend in the Hombu was one of the most interesting ones to date.

This past Saturday in the yard of the Hombu dojo a seminar was held for the use of Toami or fishermans net – one of the secretive weapons from the arsenal of the legendary Shinobi warriors.

During the event, the teacher Igor Dovezenski taught the participants in the techniques of using the Toami and ways of throwing and fighting with a net.

It is very hard to describe the amazement of those present at the execution of the techniques by the instructor, and the main question at the end of the seminar was: “When will the next one be”
