The goal and wish of shidoshi Igor Dovezenski is to enable his student to be able to in just half an hour to make a primitive bow and arrows which will help them to survive meaning to manage if they ever find themselves in a hostile environment.

For this purpose, he carefully teaches them how to find the proper piece of wood, which will enable them to make solid weapons which will enhance their chances of survival if their lives are ever in danger.

The seminar which was held this Sunday started with a short lecture on the history of the bow and arrow, after which, after it was demonstrated how, the members of the dojo had the task of making a bow themselves with which they would latter practice.

After the preparations were done, the target was placed, upon which the participants had the opportunity to practice shooting from four different body positions, under the pretense of different scenarios.

As the training continued, the warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia had increasingly better results, and evident was the advancement of those who were regular participants in this traditional event.

The members of Bujinkan Macedonia who took part in this Sundays seminar for Chigiriki, again gained and advantage and learnt to use another for them new, but ancient Japanese self defense tool. The yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organization „Taiyou e no Michi“ was the place where the teacher Dovezenski selflessly taught his students the knowledge gained through years spent in practicing classical Japanese samurai and ninja arts.

The participants had the opportunity to train in all the basic forms of this unusual weapon which is made out a stick, chain and weight, but during training an wooden substitute is used connected with a rope which is weighted with a tennis ball, of course, to avoid any possible injury.

It appears that a few of the members of the dojo are already firmly set in their intentions to also master this skill, and many of the beginners also show interest, which promises that in the future too seminars on this topic will be held.

And this time, the cry’s of the participants bore withes of the will to delve deeper in this ancient Japanese martial art. Although the morning promised nice weather conditions, which at least in the first part of the day came true, rising the mercury in the thermometer to 25 degrees Celsius, somewhere after 13:00 the temperature took a sudden plunge going down to 5 degrees. At the same time, a strong rain started to drop which mercilessly battered the participants of the event. Despite the great cold, the Warriors steadfastly finished all the katas from the first part of the densho ( Omote ), and afterwards started for the Hombu Dojo where they had the opportunity to watch tapes from former trainings during which shidoshi Dovezenski was shown teaching techniques from the school Koto ryu Koppojutsu.

In the yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organization „Taiyou e no Michi“, this Saturday a special seminar was held on the topic of Shuriken Jutsu. In the event participated over ten members of Bujinkan Macedonia who during the day threw more than five hundred metal blades , characteristic of the ninja warriors from the time of medieval Japan. The participants, who were from different ages, had the opportunity to throw Senban and Iga shuriken, and at the end of the day the wooden targets were almost completely damaged from the powerful piercing strikes of the metal star like tools. Some of the students of shidoshi Dovezenski, who regularly and yearly take part in this traditional seminar, are already achieving significant results in this old Japanese art, while does who are just now getting to know it are taken away by its power.
