During the event, the students from Bujinkan Macedonia had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the techniques and shooting stances form the school of Geki ryu Hojutsu. To that end, instead of a japanese matchlock rifle, the participants used air-rifles, all the while taking care to stick to the principles and forms of the Tanegashima.
It is interesting to note, that during the golden days of the Japanese ryu-ha, in the Land of the Rising Sun there were around 400 Hojutsu schools.
At the seminar’s end, it was agreed upon that if there is any further interest in repeating this event, it should become part of the standard yearly event calendar of Bujinkan Macedonia.
