Large samurai axe Ono – seminar in the Hombu Dojo

Posted on Categories Home

Last Sunday, in the yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organization “Taiyou e no Michi”, a seminar was held dedicated to the large samurai axe (Ono) of Shinden Fudo ryu Dakentaijutsu.

During the event, the participants had the opportunity to train the techniques of the Ono, which are incredibly interesting, especially because in order to work with this tool, you need to posses great strength and control over your muscles.

At the end of the seminar, the members of Bujinkan Macedonia asked for another seminar on this topic to be held in the fall.

The seminar 10.000 B.C. has taken place

Posted on Categories Home

The fourth iteration of the traditional seminar for survival, known by the name of 10.000 B.C. has ended. Just as a reminder, the goal of this event is for us to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and to discover how capable we truly are of surviving without the benefits of modern civilization.

Instead of a classical Report, we give to you part of the impressions of the participants published on our internet Forum.

“The seminar 10.000 B.C., which first time took place four years ago, slowly but surely transformed into one of the traditional events in Bujinkan Macedonia. Characteristic for this event is the choice of location which as a rule is mystical and full of otherworldly beauty. This time the choice fell on the location called Obrocito Dolce (Obrocito Gully), under the hill of Oltomanac.
Sensei told us how in the past, on that place, different kinds of rituals were held and that, according to the local legends, was a meeting place for fairies.

After arriving on location, as always we immediately got right to work. First we cleaned up the area, and afterwards we started preparing the tastiest food. This time we again managed to catch a snake, and Sensei taught us how to cook a simple meal called  Klin corba (Nail broth). He told us that during the Second World War his grandfather managed to feed and entire company with this simple recipe.
It is interesting to point out that ‘Obrocito Dolce’ is full of life, as much with plant life, as it is filled with animal species. Besides the different species of snake, under the oak leaves some small scorpions could also be found. During the seminar Sensei selflessly taught us about the Macedonian mythology. According to him, every Warrior should have a broad sphere of knowledge on many different topics, if he wants to complete his knowledge” – Sempai Taki Gakovski.

“Sensei has said several times that if our country was run by the principles of Bujinkan Macedonia, she would be an example to the world and would be the ‘Japan of the Balkans’.
The simplest way for you to check the veracity of these words is to come to one of our the seminars in nature.
Although I must admit, this event has become one of my favorites because of the mystical locations that we chose and the rich history of them, which even the people that live in its vicinity no longer know. I am sure that all of these seminars during which we learn techniques of survival, are the true challenges for the warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia. At the same time I am always completely sure in Sensei’s capabilities to organize and motivate us, even when we are faced with the hardest of challenges.

The location was truly magical, especially while we kept watching all those carts that once served to transport ore. Fallen into the gully, filed with rocks upon which grew green moss, it gave the whole place a sort of a movie atmosphere.  In the end I would like to add that the seminar left such a strong imprint on me, that the next day while I was working, before my eyes kept flashing images of Obrocito Dolce” – sempai Vladimir Antovski.

In a warm and familiar atmosphere with a modest celebration with a limited number of guests, in the yard of the Hombu Dojo of “Taiyou e no Michi” on July 2 was celebrated the 25th birthday since the creation of the Organization, and also the first ninja dojo in our country – Bujinkan Macedonia.
At the same time the founder and the first man to bring the classical Japanese martial arts in the country – the teacher Igor Dovezenski, celebrated 32 years since his entrance into the world of Ninjutsu and Bujutsu.

We would like to thank all our former and current members and students which are a part of this wonderful family, and also to extend it to all our friends and sympathizers, and most off to our older students (sempai) who wholeheartedly helped the teacher Dovezenski with the workings of the most dynamic Dojo in Europe.
