There’s only one way to become good in martial arts. And that is by repeating every learned technique at least a thousand times. We at Bujinkan Macedonia know that for a long time and therefore yesterday’s seminar strictly adhered to that principle.
The seminar began with a good long march towards the place meant for practice.
We climbed uphill quickly, passing through dense bushes and forest. The spring always awakens the wild and sleeping world, so on the way we encountered two snakes – one of them poisonous. We also stumbled upon a huge ant nest, filled with eggs, which we used to have a little rest from the road.
During the seminar, all rokushaku bo body postures were studied (kamae no kata), as well as many strikes from them. Afterwards, we moved on to blocking, striking from a sitting stance and rolling with the bo.
As always, the seminars in nature are a great opportunity to enhance the physical condition and also to learn new nature survival techniques.
Everyone that has ever attended these seminars with instructor Igor Dovezenski, remember his lessons and teachings about how nature can be used to it’s maximum for our benefit – in case we need a hideout, or if for whatever reason we’re forced to survive in it’s surroundings.
With lots of laughter and positive energy, in the spirit of Rokkon Shojo, this weekend we practiced in our dojo under the guidance of the great ninjutsu master Sveneric Bogsater. His performance and teaching were enjoyed by 40 attendants from Serbia (Belgrade, Novi Sad and Nis), Montenegro (Budva) and Macedonia (Skopje and Kavadarci).
Sensei Certa is the only gaijin (non-japanese) who in the history of these classic 
The intensive training (which is held once a year) in the Hombu dojo of the European Daito Ryu Aikibudo organization, placed in Zerbolo (between Pavia and Vigevano), is very rigorous and demanding.
the same ways they were done in the Daitokan dojo. The working group is a small one, consisted only of chosen students, who in order to attend this intensive training are required to have at least a 2nd Dan in any Japanese martial art or to be a member of the organization. Bruises, wounds and pain are constantly present during the training, and the life in the dojo happens on the tatami (you sleep and practice here).
The older students of sensei Igor Dovezenski, know for a long time about his wish to study Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu. That wish was finally fulfilled by being accepted as a personal student of the Shihan Antonino Certa, by which he became a representative (section) of that organization in Macedonia.
By opening a Daito Ryu section, we don’t intend to reduce our Bujinkan related activities. On the contrary, they always was and always will be an imperative for instructor Igor Dovezenski. Studying Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu and Onno ha Itto Ryu Kenjutsu, will only allow us to better understand classical Japanese martial arts, which are a great passion for the members of the martial arts school Taiyou e no Michi – Bujinkan Macedonia
During the first day, basic punches and kicks, blocks and katas from Kurai Dori were practiced, from the classical Japanese martial school Koto Ryu Koppojutsu.The second day was reserved for the school of Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu, where besides the basics, instructor Dovezenski explained in detail the katas from Ki Gata. 
as a great host. The whole seminar passed flawlessly, thanks to his dedication to make the guests feel good. On Saturday, around midnight, the attendants of this seminar went to a party in the club K7, where they stayed until the early hours of the morning, but that didn not in any way affect their concentration during the next day training. It was wonderful to see how students from both clubs socialize with each other. 
hard-working, he couldn’t wait to try the next technique, for which he was assisted by the students of Bujinkan Macedonia, Marjan Proshev and Zoran Todorovski. Afterwards, we discussed further collaboration, in order to make a better training opportunity for this Macedonian representative in UFC. Additionaly, we invite anyone who could financially support Oliver, to call Blagoj Tanevski. 
Invited by our friend from Novi Sad, Srgjan Crnogorac, this weekend we attended a seminar with Kacem Zoughari from France. The theme of this seminar was Koto Ryu Koppojutsu and Jo Jutsu, but there were also techniques from the Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu school. Besides the instructor from Bujinkan Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski, the seminar was attended by his uchi deshi Marjan Proshev and our friends from Bujinkan Kavadarci as well.
In the Hombu dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, under the guidance of the instructor Igor Dovezenski, was held a seminar with the theme Gokui Ne Waza (secrets of ground fighting). 
The seminar began with a short theoretical introduction to the history and techniques of Ne Waza, which was soon followed by some Taiso drills, followed by studying the Atemi Kyu Sho, Ukemi Taihenjutsu and Kamae.
Regardless of the pain caused by the reality of the training, also from the hardness of the parquet of our Dojo, the students (almost all of them) successfully finished the seminar, satisfied with the techniques learned during these two days.
