Of course, regular participants are veterans who have decided to in some way ‘specialize’ in the primitive “ninja bow and arrow”.
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.
Satisfied by the things taught, in the end it was agreed upon that the seminar was to continued to be held in the same time as every year meaning the last weekend of April.
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 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.
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.
