After every visit to the Land of the Rising Sun, upon his return to his home country of Macedonia, the teacher Igor Dovezenski organizes the traditional Nihon no Kankaku (Impressions from Japan) seminar, during which he shares some of the knowledge he gathered through training with the Japanese teachers. 

This past week was wholly dedicated to this seminar, and during it the participants had the opportunity to learn a lot of diverse techniques that were gathered during the last Japanese visit.

The amazing atmosphere was only improved by the willingness of the participants from Bujinkan Macedonia to train long and hard. 

The only thing that remains to be done this summer is this year’s iteration of our flagship event – The Summer Ninja Camp.

After a hiatus of several years caused by the COVID pandemic and it’s travel restrictions, the teacher of Bujinkan Macedonia – Igor Dovezenski, together with his son Petar, visited the Japanese teachers and again trained at the heart of Bujinkan in the city of Noda.

The working visit took place from the 11th to the 27th of June, and in addition to the muriad training sessions in the Hombu Dojo, many important meetings and conversations were had with the new heirs of the schools of Bujinkan. 

During the visit, Igor and Petar Dovezenski refreshed and improved their knowledge by training with the teachers: Toshiro Nagato, Yukio Noguchi, Hiroshi Nagase, Isamu Shiraishi, Tetsuji Ishizuka, Vataru Tezuka and others. During most of the training sessions in the Hombu Dojo, Igor Dovezenski had the role of Uke (the person upon whom the technique is shown, meaning the person that helps the teacher show and teach the technique).

What little free time they had, the Dovezenski dedicated themselves to visiting the temples connected with the creation of some of the classical martial arts. They also visited and cleaned the graves of the creators of Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto ryu and Ono ha Itto ryu.
