Immediately after the end of the seminar for Bow and Arrow, this past Saturday there was a test for a Sandan (3th Dan), during which sempai Taki Gakovski successfully overcame the hard test needed to earn this degree

During the testing, the candidate has to demonstrate up to three katas from the school of Koto ryu Koppojutsu, and he then needs to compete in a randori (a no holds barred fight) with three different attackers, where one of them has a knife. 

Before the test itself, kohai Marko Petrusevski was awarded the bronze medal “Genin” which is awarded on a person’s ten year anniversary at Bujinkan Macedonia. We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to both of them!

The teacher Igor Dovezenski, together with his student Taki Gakovski, from the 11th to the 22nd of April visited the Homby of the Bujinkan Dojo in Noda (Japan) with the goal of improving their knowledge. 

During the visit, they trained together with the dai-shihan’s and the inheritors of the schools (soke) that are taught in Bujinkan, they met and trained with: Norio Sakasai, Isamu Shiraishi, Yukio Noguchi, Toshiro Nagato, Hiroshi Nagase, Wataru Tezuka and others. 

Unlike Dovezenski’s previous visits, when his time was exclusively dedicated to training with the teachers, this time he wished to let his student experience some of the Japanese culture and traditions for the first time. And so, in addition to the training sessions, they visited several different cities, japanese gardens, ancient temples, castles and other places connected to the samurai traditions.

During their visit they managed to spend some time talking to and visiting several Japanese teachers with which there was talk about future plans concerning Bujinkan Macedonia.
