A Shinobi Taiso seminar in Skopje 

Posted on Categories Home

Today, at the Skopje dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, was held a seminar dedicated to the Shinobi Taiso system. 

In the seminar several licensed instructors took part, and several dedicated candidates for the opportunity to transfer their knowledge during some of our regular classes. This event was a great opportunity to collectively enhance some of their methodology, exchange some practical knowledge and make a unified curriculum. 

The work was done in a wonderfully positive and constructive atmosphere, with a clear accent given to the right ways to bodybuild as a foundation to any future personal technical development. The practical part of the event was given over to the exercises for strengthening and enhancing the mobility of the body from the second level (Junan Undo), with special attention to natural body movements, stability and coordination. 

Besides this, we managed to work through several important topics from the second level, nutrition as the main support to a continuous training effort and the ways in which proper breathing techniques enhance the health of the body. These things were not discussed as only a theory but were taken as a practical way to keep oneself and others healthy, of sound constitution and internally balanced. 

The seminar was a great way to remind ourselves of the importance of continuous education, self motivation and the slow but patient self improvement – all the things that make up the core of Shinobi Taiso and the ways in which of Budo functions as a concept. 

 

The 13th Self-defense Workshop for Women

Posted on Categories Home

The Skopje Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia was too small to house all of those interested in the traditional Self-defense Workshop for Women, which was held for the 13th time by the teacher Igor Dovezenski. 

Although the first attendance quota was just 25 members of the fairer sex, the pressure put upon us by the large number of women wishing to participate, forced us to enlarge the quota threefold, until we finally had to cap the open spots at 40. We could no longer physically accept any more participants.  

During the Workshop, the teacher Dovezenski taught them the simplest techniques that they can use to defend themselves without requiring a lot of experience or training. 

Interest in the event was so large, that many of the participants in the 13th Workshop requested that another or similar event of this type be organized as soon as possible, and some of them have already decided to participate in some of the other seminars at our Hombu Dojo, which shall be starting its event’s season quite soon.

At the Skopje Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, this past Saturday, was held a Kusari Fundo (a chain with weights) seminar.

In the event participated twelve of the teacher Dovezneski’s students, all of which showed exceptional results during their training. 

The leader of Bujinkan Macedonia selflessly shared his knowledge, transferring the techniques from him to the participants, regardless of their level of knowledge.
