One day after Taihenjutsu, at the Hombu Dojo of “Taiyou e no Michi” a Chigiriki seminar took place.

Of note, is that training with this unusual weapon has been part of the curriculum of Bujinkan Macedonia, and the members of our Dojo are often granted the opportunity to perfect their abilities with it. 

The remainder of the time was used for some quality time with good friends and on working on the Japanese zen garden.

Taihenjutsu seminar at the Hombu

Posted on Categories Home

The participants in this Saturday’s Hombu seminar quickly understood the meaning of the words by the teacher Igor Dovezenski, which he expressed before the start of the event, that Taihenjutsu is one of the hardest physical challenges for any serious practitioner of Ninjutsu. And indeed, the very next morning, the pain that flooded the muscles of all the students proved it to them. 

During the seminar all the Taihenjutsu techniques from the school of Togakure ryu Ninjutsu were practiced, and so the four hours of the seminar passed by very quickly. But the key achievement was that all of the participants made a small step towards perfecting these key Ninjutsu skills.

A one day seminar about the Ono (a type of large samurai ax) was held this Saturday in the yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi”. 

Those present had the amazing opportunity to get to know, or maybe it is better to say perfect, the techniques that are used with this classical samurai weapon that is part of the Bujinkan traditions through the school of Shinden Fudo ryu Dakentaijutsu. 

The teacher Igor Dovezenski was, as always, up to the task and gave it his all to transfer as much of his knowledge, down to the tiniest minutiae, to his students, whose great thirst for knowledge always draws them back to the training sessions at our pivotal Dojo in the valley under the mountain of Lipac.
