The chilly weather did nothing to dissuade the members of Bujinkan Macedonia from successfully realizing this 17th seminar dedicated to the techniques of spear fighting, also known as – “Strength of the Yari”. 

The event was held at the forest of Mlaka, and in it took part around 20 practitioners from all different age groups.

It was truly inspiring to see the level of enthusiasm and dedication shown by the younger students, who actively expanded and deepened their knowledge of the art of SoJutsu (spear fighting) from the school of Shinden Fudo ryu DakenTaijutsu. Under the leadership of the teacher Igor Dovezensk, the participants had the opportunity to learn from his sizable experience and approach to teaching, which was paired with his selfless wish to share it with all those present.  

According to the yearly program for Bujinkan Macedonia, the next seminar will be dedicated to the topics of HoJutsu and YumiYa.

This past Saturday, in the yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi”, a seminar was held on the topic of throwing Shuriken. In the event participated 23 students from Bujinkan Macedonia.

The events began with the practical section, where the students threw at three different targets. Under the tutelage of the instructor Igor Dovezenski several different throwing techniques were studied, with special effort given to perfect the participant’s accuracy, control and technique. All of the participants thus had the opportunity to showcase his technique and get some pointers as to where it needs improvement.

After the official part of the seminar, the participants spent their free time socialising by the Dojo’s fireplace, after which came the communal dinner and some board games.  

This time event had the expected effect of making the participants full of energy and motivation, which translated into an improvement in skills, but also to create some wonderful memories of their time together. 

With this Shuriken seminar we officially opened the 2026 season at the Hombu Dojo of  “Taiyou e no Michi”.

The leader of the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi” ,Igor Dovezenski, completed a four day visit of Amsterdam, Holland, where he met up with some of his compatriots from the club of his deceased teacher and mentor for Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto ryu Bojutsu. 

The visit was dedicated to communal remembrance and respect, Dovezenski took an active participation in the training sessions organised in honour of their teacher Erik Louw’s birthday. The meeting was filled with strong emotions, especially with former students of Louw Sensei – people with which Dovezenski trained with, in many a past year, in Japan, but people that also have a lot of lasting memories of training at the Hombu Dojo of  “Taiyou e no Michi” in Macedonia. 

In those rare moments of quiet self reflection, Dovezenski visited many of the places that marked his first steps into this discipline during his three day stay in 2013, spent, at that time, with his teacher. It was a trip down memory lane, but also a reminder that the Way goes on without end. 

As a natural evolution of this meetup, a deal was struck for future cooperation with the successor of Louw Sensei, Marcel Breedveld. The cooperation will focus on regular joint training events, seminars and mutual visits of each other’s dojos in Macedonia and Holland – this will be a living bridge between tradition, friendship and a joint dedication towards the Way.
