One day after HoJutsu, another traditional seminar was held, the Bow and Arrow (Yumi Ya) seminar, in which nearly 20 members of Bujinkan Macedonia took part.

The weather was perfect for this kind of event, making the experience all the greater. Several different types of Asian bows were used to shoot at the three provided targets.  

After the seminar ended, the teacher of Bujinkan Macedonia awarded two bronze Genin medals to two of his students who have been diligently training at the Dojo for a decade now. The accolades were given to Todor Angelovski and Konstantin Anastasievik.

Immediately after the HoJutsu seminar that was held this past Saturday at the Hombu of Bujinkan Macedonia, two members of the dojo were tested for advancement to a higher level by the dojo’s leader Igor Dovezenski.

We are talking about the longtime students Marko Opacic, who passed the test for the Yondan (4th Dan), and Taki Gakovski, who passed the test for the Nidan (2nd Dan). With this, Bujinkan Macedonia now has three members with the Nidan, and one with the Yondan, with which the quality of one of the best Dojo’s in the world just keeps rising. 

Opacic and Gakovski are one of the most loyal students of the teacher Dovezenski, and besides the master degrees in (Bujinkan) Ninjutsu they both are also holders of master degrees in the art of Daito ryu Aikijujtsu. 

We would like to congratulate them for their level advancements and we wish them many more years of training at Bujinkan Macedonia!

In the yard of the Homby Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, in accordance with every safety principle applicable, this past Saturday a seminar was held dedicated to the art of shooting a samurai rifle, during which were taught the positions used by the Samurai of the school of Geki ryu Hojutsu when firing this kind of gun.

This seminar is crucial for the keeping and continuing the traditions connected with the art of shooting a Tanegashima (a musket type gun), which was really popular in the Land of the Rising sun during the 17th century. 

That is exactly why, the students of Bujinkan Macedonia regularly hold this event, during which the participants learn the shooting positions that were used by the warriors of Japan once upon a time. Besides the body positions, correct breathing also plays a significant role, but also the calm needed to correctly perform every technique.
