Last year we had a deal to make this seminar a tradition and so we keep our promise. The seminar that was long awaited by everyone. A two day outdoor training, at the top of the legendary Lipac mountain.
After the great experience last year, we decided to have this seminar every year in June and study the classical Japanese swordfighting school: Ono ha Itto ryu (Takeda den).
During the day, there will be three training sessions and the night is reserved for having fun, make some barbeque and a couple of beers.
As you already know, the School for classical Japanese martial arts Taiyou e no Michi, besides the Bujinkan schools, also trains other arts such as Ono ha Itto ryu Kenjutsu. We are members of the Daito Ryu Aikibudo Daito Kai, led by sensei Antonino Certa, the only non-Japanese shihan for Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu. This sword school was mandatory to learn by the mighty samurai clan Takeda. The legendary warrior Sokaku Takeda, known as the last samurai, was a menkyo kaiden (licensee of full transmission) for this exact kenjutsu ryu-ha.

In the location known as Orlova Chuka, upon one of the lower hills of Lipac, today we had the Yumi Ya seminar, i.e. ninja bow and arrows. About ten students attended this event, all members of Bujinkan Macedonia, who under the hot sun refined this art for the entire length of the day.
This seminar was one of those that one never forgets. Great training, beautiful blue sky, yellow sun and discipline that can only be found in a traditional dojo. 
a total of 21 kata. At the beginning, we practiced three kata from the first level, known as Ten no Kata: Gekkan, Setsuyaku and Musan. After each kata, instructor Dovezenski showed two henka (variations) for each of the kata shown. From the second level, Chi no Kata, we practiced Riken, Shinken and Raiken, which were later studied in detail through a few of their variations. The third level, Shizen Shigoku no Kata, was practiced through the kata: Tai Nagashi, Kobushi Nagashi and Fubatsu.
Even though the seminar was supposed to end around 17.00, it was extended to almost three hours more, and we arrived in Skopje at 21.00 hours. That was because we decided to visit the beautiful Beljakovski monastery towards the end of the event. Descending from the mountain, those that participated in the seminar expressed their regret – they didn`t want to return and walked the path down the mountain with sadness. Their only comment on this seminar was that there is no better training than the one done outdoors, especially when it`s on the mountain with mystical beauty – Lipac.
Ten members of the gentler sex, almost all of them members of Bujinkan Macedonia, successfully mastered the combat techniques during today`s “Female self-defense workshop“.
the girls was a sign that the workshop passed in a fun atmosphere. At the end, certificates were given to those that took part, in order to give those attending a token by which they will remember this wonderful event.
In a great friendly atmosphere passed the seminar which took place yesterday in Gradsko, organized by our section in this community. Besides the host, this event was attended by beginner students from our section in Taftalidzhe, as well as the Hombu dojo in Skopje.
During exquisitely cold weather, followed by rain and strong winds, we held the fukiya seminar. The place chosen for this event, Loka, which during the entire time was surrounded by gray, wet clouds, proved to be ruthless to the warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia. For the entire length of the training, our clothes were constantly wet, and our wet feet and boots made our bodies tremble to keep their temperature at a normal level. 
On the 27th of March (2011), sempai Marjan Proshev and sempai Marko Opachikj, will teach a seminar for the Gradsko sections of Bujinkan Macedonia.
