The fourth international BuYuKai

Posted on Categories Home

The fourth in a row international BuYuKai seminar has taken place, as agreed, this time it was held in Macedonia. During the event 42 practitioners from Turkey and the host country trained together.

As always, interest in the BuYuKai event was overwhelming, but, owing to organizational restrictions, the number of participants was limited, and so the maximum capacity was already filled several weeks before the event even began. 

This year’s topic was Henka Waza, this means that we trained how to adapt existing techniques and create variants that can be momentarily changed to react to different kinds of attacks by our opponent. 

The BuYuKai event’s hosts from Bujinkan Macedonia made sure that every second that guests from the Republic of Turkey spent in Macedonia was well spent, they visited many tourist and archaeological sites throughout the Republic, so that the beauties of ancient Macedonia can be represented in the best possible light.

And now, something from one of the participants: 

“Bujinkan Macedonia continues to write history. I have this feeling that BuYuKai is a form of competition, but it’s not a martial arts tournament, it’s more of a hospitality contest and a battlefield in which each warrior fights using the tools of culture and carries the banners of his traditions. We had an amazing weekend. The training was incredible and the tempo was unrelenting, the Dojo sometimes seemed to be a battlefield. We visited some amazing places, among which was the magical Kuklica. We also had a few accidents, but that was more of a test of will and endurance sent to us by the martial gods. The friendship between us and Bujinkan Turkey blossomed and I am sure that we shall remain close for the foreseeable future.” – Taki Gakovski.
