This past Sunday was tailor made for a Fukiya seminar and so the members of Bujinkan Macedonia had the opportunity to improve their capabilities with this ancient and simple tool. 

During the event the teacher Igor Dovezenski taught his students the shooting stances with this weapon and how to make their own darts.

Satisfied with the information gained, the students asked their teacher if it was possible to add the Fukiya to the regular yearly roster of seminars in Bujinkan Macedonia.

One day after the Kukishin ryu Naginata seminar, another seminar focusing on the Naginata was held, but this time concerning the techniques from the school of Shinden Fudo ryu.

The intent of the teacher Dovezenski was for his students to have the opportunity to compare the ways of using this weapon in both traditions, and with that expand their knowledge and experience. 

Because of the rainy weather, the second seminar was held inside the Dojo, but the students made sure that the previous day’s atmosphere was preserved.

This past Saturday at the Hombu of the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi ” a seminar about the Naginata, a classical Japanese weapon from the school of Kukishin ryu, was held. 

The school, whose creator is Jakushimaru Kurando Takanao, is known for its rigid fighting techniques, and considering the size of the Naginata, the effects of the exertion this demanded was evident in the difficulties that the students had in following the instructions of the teacher Dovezenski. 

During the event, all of the fighting stances (kamae) and all of the katas from this school were thoroughly drilled.

This year’s scheduled Otsuchi (large samurai hammer) seminar was held this past Sunday at the Hombu dojo of the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi”. 

Besides some members from Bujinkan Macedonia, the seminar was attended by a practitioner from the Republic of Serbia, with whom the seminar took on an international character.  

By the way, to train with and handle a hammer that weighs nearly 10 kilograms, demands a lot of effort and a strong body, and that’s precisely the reason why the teacher Igor Dovezenski invests a lot of time into transferring the secret techniques of this weapon to all those interested in learning them.
