In the yard of the Hombu Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, yesterday was held another seminar dedicated to the techniques of shooting with a bow and arrow.

The event known by the name YumiYa Jutsu is one of the longest lasting meaning it has taken place even before the establishment of the dojo in the year 1995.
During the seminar, the teacher Igor Dovezesnki taught his students how to shoot with a simple homemade bow, similar to those which were used by the Shinobi warriors and was know under the name Maruki Yumi, similar to Hankyu – a short bow made from bamboo.

Studied were different techniques of shooting from different stances and positions, and some of the participants already started to show promising results.

The next seminar in nature will be on the topic of: “Bujutsu – wandering between myth and reality”. See you!

The tenth in a row episode of the traditional seminar dedicated to combat with a spear (SoJutsu), was held this Sunday on the fields near the forest of Mlaka in the valley under the mountain Lipac.

As every year, no amount of word would be appropriate to describe the event that the dedicated members of Bujinkan Macedonia impatiently await every year.

Besides the regular and proven ones, we also would like to showcase the participation of our youngest member Petar Dovesenski, although he only has eight years, he managed to power through the entire seminar stopping not event one time under the attacks of the spears of the older Warriors of the Dojo.

In the end I would like to congratulate sempai Taki Gakovski, who from the teacher Igor Dovezenski was awarded a Densho in which are written all the techniques with the Yari.

Two weeks after the last Togakure ry, this Saturday was held another seminar dedicated to the skill of throwing Shurikens.

This time, the participants had the opportunity to practice from another Ninjutsu school, and the throwing was done with Senban and Iga Hira Shurikens.

The wonderfully filed day, ended with the permission and the free time dedicated to practicing throws with the different types of Shurikens that are found on the wall of the Hombu Dojo, as a introduction to the next Shuriken seminar.

This Sundays Togakure ryu ShurikenJutsu seminar refreshed us in every way and brought about new hope that before us stands lies another year filled with incredible training and spiritual martial journeys.

Instead of a regular report, we will show you some of the feelings brought forth by shidoshi-ho Marko Opacik on our internet Forum.

“We somehow managed to wait for four months for March to come and to feel again the magic that is training inside the Hombu Dojo. This month we started off “ninja like” from the very beginning, and we shall continue like samurai next weekend.

It was a beautiful sunny calm village day, when Sensei lined us up and opened the training for ShurikenJutsu from the school of Togakure ryu. Almost no one was previously familiar with the forms of throwing from this school, and Sensei simply showed us that it takes many years of training to master these exotic skills. In his hands, the Bo-shurikens looked like they were a part of his body and utterly effortlessly embedded themselves in the target, like they were being fired from a machine, and not a human hand. We were amazed while watching him, so we also tried, to no avail, at least not in the very beginning.  But as the hours went by, some Monjins managed to show some promising results (considering it was their first time). After four hours of training with the Bo-shurikens , we started training with Senban.  Very fast, precise and elegant ‘ninja movements’ complimented by the oral wisdom that Sensei graced us with.

There were some wonderful participants in this seminar who tirelessly tried to learn, and special respect I must show towards Eleonora, who,  all though she is in the eight month of her pregnancy, managed to endure through the entire training, together with the other more experienced Warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia.
In the end, Sensei added the new plagues with the names of Sase and Ksenija to the ‘NafudaKake’ in the Hombu. We bowed to their plagues, we shared our happiness and joy between each other and mentioned the names of the next Monjins that are in line to find themselves on the ‘board of honor’. A precious day spent in a wonderful atmosphere, instead of some coffee parlor in Skopje or in front of our telephones.  Taiyou e no Michi, A School for Warriors, both men and women.

This Saturday in the yard of the Homby Dojo of the Organization “Taiyou e no Michi”, the teacher Igor Dovezenski held a seminar on the topic of Santo Tonso no Kata. In the event took part five students of Bujinkan Macedonia who tried to explore the secrets of the school of Togakure ryu Ninjutsu.

Because we are talking about a complex art, Dovezenski tried to at least scratch the surface of the techniques, without at the same time diving into the finer details, as he usually does during his teachings about the seminars.

During the closing of the seminar, all present unanimously declared that this school should be more frequently taught in the Homby Dojo, because the only way that could be done is surrounded by nature meaning somewhere the setting allows us both time and space.

The tenth in a row “Workshop for Female Self-Defense” managed to gather 26 members of the fairer sex in one place and enabled them to take a two day voyage in the world of the Japanese classical martial arts. Eleven years in a row, the dojo Bujinkan Macedonia organized this event, and this year for the first time under the leadership of sempai Sanja Simonova, who together with the teacher Igor Dovezenski teaches techniques of self-defense from all kinds of situations. During the seminar, the participants had the opportunity to learn how to defend themselves from attacks with strikes, pinning to a wall, kicks, as well as situations when they find themselves on the ground. As support for Simonova and Dovezenski, always present were some of the older members of the dojo – Vladimir Antonovski, Mihail Drakalski and Filip Trajanovski. Besides the amazing companionship and incredible atmosphere, all the members of the fairer sex during the entire seminar kept the smiles on their faces, and for us that is the greatest sign of the success of the Workshop. Till next year.

Големото внимание предизвикано во јавноста поради претстојната „Работилница за Самоодбрана за Жени“, беше причина овие денови да бидеме „бомбардирани“ со покани за гостувања на многу македонски пишани и електронски медиуми.

Така, вчеравечер, бевме посетени од страна на Радио МОФ кои во текот на денов го објавија следниот прилог на нивниот веб-портал.

Да напомнеме само дека за време на вчерашниот тренинг, инструкторот Игор Довезенски предаваше техники од Аикиџуџутсу и од Нинџутсу, додека семпаи Сања Симонова демонстрираше техники на самоодбрана кои ќе се вежбат на Работилницата.

The seminar KyuSho Jutsu that took place this Saturday attracted a lot of attention from the members of Bujinkan Macedonia, and the energy that filled the dojo during the event was incredible. Around ten Warriors from Bujinkan Macedonia readily faced the pain that always is a companion when the topic is the study of the vital points of the body, and the smile on their faces never left. The Teacher Igor Dovezenski on the seminar had the time to teach about 18 vital points that when pressed or hit cause great pain in the attacker, which allows for a good defense during an undesirable situation. In the end, the participants in the event asked for it to again be held in the near future, but if possible for it to last two days, with the goal of accumulating greater knowledge about this Japanese art.

Although because of the cold weather on the fifth “Kids Ninja Marathon” we had a lower number of kids than we usually do, that in no way diminished the quality of the event, quite the opposite – we put in even more effort into transferring knowledge and rewarding the commitment of those who decided to take part.

In this iteration we again studied techniques of self-defense, and afterwards techniques of Taihenjutsu (ninja gymnastics), and to make the atmosphere relaxed and fun we had a knowledge quiz, and in the end a screening of a martial arts film.

Next month there will another five hour marathon, dedicated to the samurai art of Daito ryu Aikijujutsu. At the same time that will be the last kids winter seminar for this semester.
