The traditional seminar for fighting with a spear which is named “Strength of the Yari”, organized by the Dojo for samurai and ninja arts “Bujinkan Macedonia”, was held for the eleventh time. In the event took part ten Warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia, among which were the three kids of the teacher Igor Dovezenski. This year, as last year, the battlefield was on the edge of the forest of Mlaka in the village where the Hombu Dojo is situated. The location was chosen for its similarity to the battlefields of Medieval Japan. Previously, “Strength of the Yari” was held in the location called Slepo Kolo, because of the specific hilly and uneven terrain, and all with the goal of teaching the students how to fight in all terrain conditions. During the seminar, the teacher Dovezenski with special interest followed the techniques performed by the sempais Vladimir Antovski and Mihail Drakalski. And after a short analysis decided that their development is progressing in an acceptable fashion and that the time is right for them to receive a densho in which are encompassed all of the techniques of the art of Sojutsu which is practiced in our dojo. The small ceremony of awarding the densho will be held during the traditional seminar “Kenjutsu under the stars of Lipac”.

After a long two month pause caused by the corona virus (COVID-19), finally in the Hombu Dojo of the Organization “Taiyou e no Michi” a seminar dedicated to the art of throwing metal blades – Shurikenjutsu.

The event was held in the yard of the dojo, and in it took part several members of Bujinkan Macedonia which trained in the techniques of throwing and shooting with the shuriken.

The atmosphere during the training was perfect, mainly because we finally started doing that which we love the most and which we enjoy the most.

Because of the crisis caused by the virus Corona, our Dojo as all others in our country, was forced to temporarily pause its work. Our members were given directions and suggestions on how to maintain their health and physical conditioning, and the free time that we had because of the quarantine that we were in was used for the completion of some responsibilities around the new yard in the Hombu Dojo.

As you already know, the pillar (Hombu) of Bujinkan Macedonia grew by a new 1800 m2, which will be turned into a kind of “world ninjutsu center” meaning a place that can accommodate students and those interested in the study of Ninjutsu, Bujutsu and Aikijujutsu from all over the globe.

The grounds that the instructor Dovezenski bought, are located just behind the Hombu and borders the so-called “summer dojo”. In the expanded area, the plan is to build four small houses in which our members, meaning visitors, while they train, will be able to stay together with their partners or with the members of their family. The rest will be horticulturaly groomed and turned into a pleasant space for rest and recreation.

We expect that the measures for the protection from Corona will lessen, meaning they will slowly be canceled as the virus weakens and that we can continue with the normal work and the activation of our training sessions in Skopje.
