Author dovezenskiPosted on Categories HomeThe year 2025 was a year of stabilization, expansion of knowledge and continuous improvement of all those things that have been built throughout the years by the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi” mainly through the work of its Dojos of Bujinkan Macedonia and Daito ryu Macedonia. Although the focus was split between the regular seminars and the continuous development of the Homby Dojo, this past year saw a satisfactory number of events, important international activities and grand achievements that further solidified the dedication of all its members.
During this past year there were several thematic seminars at the Skopje Dojo and the Homby Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, during which the focus was on the practical use of the traditional techniques, weapons and physical bodily conditioning. The seminars for SoJutsu, KusariGama, KyoketsuShoge, Chigiriki, YumiYa, HoJutsu and the special Togakure ryu Shurikenjutsu seminar, all saw an increase in attendance and a peak in interest, which helped us all deepen our understanding of Ninjutsu.
From our international events, we would like to single out the ninth edition of the international BuYuKai, held in Istanbul, where the leader of Bujinkan Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski, taught together with his long time friend and collaborator Erjan Sharbat. The event served to strengthen the ties and further collaboration between the Macedonian and Turkish Bujinkan dojos.
The year 2025 saw the continuation of our summer ninja camps, both for children and adults. Both of the camps kept their signature shape, combining intensive training, work with nature and a premium given to discipline, community and tradition. Both camps managed to bring in a record number of participants, including foreign guests, which only served to solidify the international character of this event.
From the work of the Daito ryu Macedonia – Koryu Dojo, during this past year stand out our five Aikijujutsu seminars. Of which the January seminar was held on invitation by the Macedonian Aikido Federation – which was dedicated to the roots of the principles of aikido, and the March seminar which stood out because it hosted a yudensha test (Taki Gakovski), both of which served to show our continuous success on home turf. The June, November and December seminars served to continue the work as prescribed by this school’s methodology of training.
If we try to put it in numbers, in 2025 we managed to hold 31 seminars, of which 26 were for ninjutsu, two were the international BuYuKai, two were our ninja camps (for kids and for adults), and five seminars were dedicated to Daito ryu Aikijujutsu. The teacher Igor Dovezenski furthermore taught during four international events in Turkey, Czech Republic, Germany and the USA.
We would also like to mention that two of our members received the Genin medal (Todor Angelkovski and Konstantin Anastasievik), while three of our sempai passed the test for the Nidan (II dan), while one passed the test for the Yondan (IV dan). We also celebrated a jubilee – 30 years of “Taiyou e no Michi” and Bujinkan Macedonia, which resulted in a wonderful party at the village of Dovezence.
In closing, we wish to extend our deepest gratitude to all of the members of Bujinkan Macedonia, Daito ryu Macedonia and the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi”, who, through their dedication, patience and continuous work, helped to make 2025 another successful chapter in our story. We can promise nothing else, but, that as long as we breathe and live – we shall always follow The Way.
The topic for 2026 at Bujinkan Macedonia shall be Shinden Fudo ryu DakenTaijutsu.
One Dojo – One Love.
Bujinkan Macedonia – loyalty, dedication, honor.
A beautiful tale that never ends.
Ninpo Ikkan!
